Metal Roofing & Wall Panel Roll Forming Solution
Trapezoidal / IBR, standing-seam, corrugated or glazed-tile roof and wall panel lines from coil. Lock the first-year profile before curving, stacker and trim.
Who it's for
Metal building manufacturers, roofing sheet processors, and distributors who need a repeatable panel from coil - and often more than one profile family from one plant.
Electrics and structure
Electrics and structure
voltage, PLC/HMI, frame and shear style are ticked on the contract.
Coil and coating
Coil and coating
PPGI / PPGL / GI / GL width and gauge follow the market.
How to choose a line
- First-year tonnage is trapezoidal / IBR -> Trapezoidal / IBR main line (General panel host if the tooling family is still open)
- Standing-seam roof is the main product -> Standing-seam line (Curving and seam lock are optional units)
- Corrugated / arc volume first -> Corrugated / arc line (Often with a curve module)
- Glazed tile as a second SKU -> Glazed-tile line (own tooling) (Peak-height variants stay on their own quotations)
- Horizontal cladding, KR700 wall, or market-specific C-series -> Matching wall / cladding line (Quoted apart from standing-seam roof)
Example specification
One delivered example. Final numbers follow your quotation.
| Product families | Trapezoidal / IBR, standing seam, corrugated / arc, glazed tile - pick the first-year host, then add optionals |
|---|---|
| Typical flow | Uncoil and guide -> progressive roll forming -> cut to length -> outfeed / stack |
| Common optionals | Ridge and trim, motor curving, seam lock, stacker, sandwich-roof path when in commercial scope |
| Numbers on the offer | Stand count, kW, m/min and shear style are confirmed on the quotation for the profile you choose |

What's included
First-year roof/wall panel host, process spine, equipment matching, a parameter checklist, and a quote list. Speeds and kW come from the quotation for that profile.
What to send for a quote
- Profile drawings for the first-year main product
- Year-one mix across trapezoid / standing seam / corrugated / glaze
- Coil family, thickness window, width, coating
- Destination electrics and HMI language
- Which optionals belong in the first order vs later (stacker, curving, seam lock, ridge/trim)
- Market-specific wall or C-series profiles called out if needed
Check before you quote
One speed for every profile
One speed for every profile
Trapezoid, standing seam and glazed tile each use their own quotation for kW and m/min.
Glaze peak heights
Glaze peak heights
Different peak-height tile families stay on separate tooling quotes.
Curving and ridge
Curving and ridge
Treat curving, seam lock and ridge as optionals unless the offer includes them. Leave layout length for them.
FAQ
Which line should I buy first?
The profile that will dominate the first 12 months: trapezoidal/IBR, standing seam, corrugated/arc, or glazed tile as its own tooling. Add optionals after the host is clear.
Can trapezoid and glazed tile share one speed range?
Use a separate quotation for each tooling family. The offer carries the numbers for the profile you choose.
Are curving and ridge included in the host?
Usually as optionals, unless the offer says otherwise. Plan layout and power for them early.
How are price and lead time quoted?
Send the quote checklist. Commercial terms come back on the offer.
