Production Line
Dual-station roll forming line designed for efficient production of metal roofing ridge caps and half-round gutters with fast profile switching and stable forming performance.
- Two profiles, one line
- Reduced equipment investment
- Faster product diversification
- Compact factory layout
- Simplified operator workflow
- Lower setup downtime
We can customize tooling, profile dimensions, cutting systems, and machine configurations according to different roofing ridge cap and half-round gutter drawing requirements.
Recommended for roofing accessory manufacturers, rainwater system suppliers, and roll forming factories requiring flexible production of multiple lightweight construction profiles on one line.

Profile Information
Metal roofing ridge caps are installed at roof peak joints to improve waterproof performance and protect roofing connections from wind and rain exposure. Half-round gutters are widely used in residential, commercial, and agricultural drainage systems for efficient rainwater collection and discharge.
Both profiles usually feature smooth curved or angular shapes with decorative and functional characteristics. Common materials include pre-painted steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and sometimes stainless steel. These products are especially popular in North America, Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, and regions with strong metal roofing and rainwater management markets.
How Does The Roll Forming Machine Work?
Machine Details
Steel Coil Decoiler
Steel coil decoiler is used to unwind metal coils smoothly for feeding into roll forming, cutting, or punching processes.
Manual decoiler is a basic and economical option, while motorized and hydraulic decoilers are also available for higher efficiency and automation:
| Power Type | Manual | Steel Coil Width | Max 1250mm |
| Loading Capacity | 3/5/7/10 Ton | Expanding Range | 460-50mm |
Roll Forming Machine
The dual-station roll forming machine uses wall panel structure and chain transmission to gradually shape steel strip into two different profiles with stable forming accuracy.
This configuration allows flexible production switching between roofing ridge caps and half-round gutters while reducing factory space and overall equipment investment.
| Speed | 20m/min | Forming Station | 18 Stands |
| Motor Power | 7.5Kw | Shaft Diameter | 76mm, solid |
| Driving System | Chain | Roller Material | Gcr15,HRC58-62° |
| Frame Structure | Wall panel | Shaft Material | 40Cr heat treatment |
Safety Designs
Chain covers are installed to protect operators and extend chain service life. Full-machine mesh covers (slidable) provide visibility with safety. Flip-type covers ensure convenient access with enhanced protection.
Safety signs are applied to continuously alert operators.
PLC Control Cabinet & Encoder
In a cold roll forming line, the encoder works with the PLC to provide real-time feedback on material position and speed, ensuring precise feed, synchronized forming, and accurate length control for cutting and punching.
Production speed, product length, and quantity can be set on the control cabinet. The display language can be customized according to customer requirements.
Other Customization Details
The machine comes standard with a blue main color and orange accents. Other colors can be customized free of charge.
The default metal nameplate is Goalon, which can also be customized at no additional cost.
Basic Services
Professional Packing
Machines are packed in plastic film and labeled for easy identification and assembly, and secured inside the container with steel cables.
Installation Guide
Free customized manuals, operationvideos, installationvideos, and remote video supportare provided.
The standard configuration operates at 15–20 m/min. Higher-end configurations can reach 30–40 m/min, and even higher speeds can be customized according to specific production requirements.
Yes. The dual-station configuration allows production of both roofing ridge caps and half-round gutters on the same production line with separate forming stations and cutting systems.
Lead times range from 30-50 days post-order, varying by customization level and supplier location. We typically require 45 days for standard machines.
There is no need to worry. Our machines are designed for easy installation and operation.
Before shipment, we will finish the main assembly and testing in our factory. When the machine arrives, you only need to place it in position, connect the power supply, and it can start working.
We will also provide:
detailed installation and operation manuals
machine layout drawings
wiring diagrams
online technical support (video call / photos / videos)
If needed, we can also arrange an engineer to come to your factory to help with installation and training. Many of our customers complete installation smoothly with our online guidance.
30% deposit is paid before production, the balance paid after inspection confrmation, before shipment.
