Roll forming machine for omega channel machine

The core component of furring channel machine is the roll forming machine. It is equipped with high-quality roller assembly, the main shaft diameter is φ75mm, and it is made of 45# round steel. The roller material is heat-treated, hard chrome-plated after fine turning, and mirror-polished. This design enables the roll forming machine to not only produce finished products of different sizes, but also maintain a high speed during the production process, up to 120 m/min. KINGREAL CEILING MACHINERY provides two solutions: roller replacement or hanger replacement to meet customers' production needs for finished products of different specifications.

Cutting station for omega channel machine

The cutting station is an indispensable part of the furring channel machine. The station adopts a fully automatic follow shearing system, which has the characteristics of fast cutting and no noise when cutting. The cutter is made of Cr12Mov, and the shearing life exceeds 1 million times, ensuring long-term and stable production. At the same time, the rear scissor frame is made of Q235 steel plate, which is rough milled and annealed, and then finely processed to ensure that the cut is flat, burr-free and non-deformed.
