Profile Information
Strut channels are structural metal framing profiles with a U-shaped channel and inward-facing lips, providing a practical framework for mounting pipes, conduits, cable trays, solar components, and HVAC systems.
They are commonly produced from galvanized steel, carbon steel, or stainless steel using a strut channel roll forming machine. The profiles are widely used in construction, MEP installation, electrical systems, and industrial projects across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Why Choose This Roll Forming Production Line
✅ One Die, Two Sizes
A dual-size cutting die handles two profiles, reducing tooling purchases and die-change downtime.
✅ Lower Upfront Tooling Cost
Sharing one cutting die for two sizes reduces tooling investment without requiring separate cutting equipment.
✅ Practical Punching & Forming
Hydraulic punching follows continuous forming, supporting customized hole patterns while keeping the line structure cost-conscious.

Function Of Machines
Manual Decoiler
The manual decoiler supports coil loading and controlled material unwinding before forming. Its simple structure keeps equipment cost low and suits customers with moderate production volumes or budget-conscious projects.
Guiding
The guiding system centers the strip before leveling and forming. Proper alignment helps prevent material deviation, edge deformation, and profile dimensional variation during continuous production.
Leveler
The leveler removes coil-set and strip deformation before forming. Integrated with the forming machine, it provides a more compact layout while improving material flatness and forming stability.
♦ Roll Forming Machine
The wall-panel structure provides a rigid forming base, while the chain-driven system transfers power through the forming stands. This configuration supports stable continuous forming of strut channel profiles at practical production speeds.
♦ Hydraulic Punch
The hydraulic punching unit creates mounting holes or customized slot patterns according to the required profile design. Its controlled punching action provides repeatable hole positioning before the finished profile reaches the cutting section.
♦ Hydraulic Cut
The hydraulic cutting system separates formed profiles to the required length after forming. The customized two-size cutting die accommodates two strut channel dimensions, reducing tooling investment and die-change downtime.
