Profile Information
Metal bond roof tile is widely used for residential, commercial, and light industrial roofing systems. It features a stamped and interlocking tile-like profile with a strong 3D surface effect, which enhances drainage performance, wind resistance, and overall architectural appearance.
Due to its durability and decorative roofing effect, it is widely adopted in Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, and other developing construction 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 | 5/7/10 Ton | Expanding Range | 460-50mm |
Roll Forming Machine
The roll forming machine is the core unit of the metal bond roof tile line, shaping steel coils into precise tile profiles through multiple forming stages. It ensures accurate interlocking structure, stable dimensions, and smooth coated surface without damage.
With a rigid frame and precision rollers, it runs stably in continuous production. Adjustable settings support different designs and 0.3–0.6 mm coated steel, ensuring reliable forming accuracy and consistent roofing quality.
| 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 |
Cutting & Punching Unit
The hydraulic embossing unit is used to create the realistic 3D overlap effect of metal bond roof tiles, forming the visual “tile-over-tile” appearance required for glazed roof aesthetics. The embossing molds are customized according to the specific tile profile requested by the customer, ensuring accurate matching with the final roofing design and improving decorative value.
After embossing, the hydraulic cutting system performs clean shearing of the panel with no burrs or deformation. This production line adopts a stop-and-cut configuration, meaning the roll forming machine pauses while embossing and cutting are executed on a fixed base, ensuring stability and precision.
For higher productivity requirements, a flying cutting solution can also be offered, allowing continuous production without stopping the line.
| Power Type | Hydraulic cut |
| Hydraulic Power | 5.5Kw |
| Blade Material | Cr12MoV |
| When Cutting | Forming stops |
| Length Tolerance | ≤±1mm |
Convyor
After cutting, IBR roof panels can be collected by an out table or an auto stacker, depending on production requirements.
| Item | Out Table | Auto Stacker |
| Type | Manual / Semi-manual | Fully automatic |
| Investment | Low cost | Higher initial investment |
| Labor | Requires manual handling | Reduces labor significantly |
| Efficiency | Suitable for low–medium speed | Ideal for high-speed production |
| Flexibility | High | Moderate |
| Stacking | Manual, less consistent | Automatic, neat and consistent |
| Maintenance | Simple | More complex |
| Application | Small to medium production lines | Large-scale, continuous production |
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.
Optional Upgrade —— Flim Laminator
- Protects the panel surface from scratches during forming, cutting and stacking
- Improves finished panel appearance, especially for pre-painted and high-end roofing sheets
- Reduces rejection and rework caused by surface damage
- Provides extra protection during handling, packing and transportation
- Increases product value for premium roofing projects
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
To help customers save both time and financial costs on machine installation and training, especially on on-site engineer service fees.
Based on the actual configuration of each machine, we customize the installation manual and operating manual. During the testing phase and before shipment, we record installation and operation videos for guidance.
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.
Lead times range from 30-50 days post-order, varying by customization level and supplier location. We typically require 45 days for standard machines.
Yes. After communicating with you about your requirements, we can first provide a quotation and a similar solution based on a profile that is close to your needs for your reference. Once the exact drawing becomes available, we can update the quotation and configuration accordingly at any time.
Yes. We are a professional manufacturer that produces both standard market profiles and customized profiles. We can also sign an agreement to ensure that your drawing will not be shared with other parties.
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.
