What is a C Purlin Roll Forming Machine?

A C Purlin Roll Forming Machine is specialized industrial equipment that produces structural C-shaped steel purlins through a continuous cold-forming process. By passing steel strips through a precisely engineered series of rollers, the machine bends the material step by step to form an accurate C profile.

C purlins are a critical component in modern steel buildings, serving as roof purlins, wall girts, and floor joists. They are valued for their lightweight, high strength, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional steel beams or timber supports.

Our C Purlin Roll Forming Machine delivers unparalleled accuracy, adjustable sizes, and efficient production speeds to meet the diverse needs of steel building contractors and manufacturers.

Why Choose Our C Purlin Roll Forming Machine?

✅ Precision You Can Rely On

We use advanced CNC-machined roller dies and a robust machine base to achieve consistent, high-quality forming. Even at high production speeds, the profiles meet stringent dimensional tolerances and surface finish standards.

✅ Flexible & Adjustable Sizes

Our machine allows for quick adjustment to produce C purlins with different web heights, flange widths, and lip sizes. Whether manual or fully automatic adjustment, you can quickly switch between sizes to handle different project requirements.

✅ Efficient Production Speeds

With a typical forming speed of 10–15 m/min and options for even higher speeds, our machine helps maximize throughput without compromising quality.

✅ Durable & Long-Lasting Components

The forming rollers are made from hardened, chrome-coated steel to resist wear. The frame is constructed from heavy-duty welded steel to minimize vibration and ensure stability during long production runs.

✅ Cost-Effective Solution

Compared to traditional bending or punching methods, roll forming significantly reduces labor costs, material waste, and processing time—resulting in a faster return on investment.

Applications of C Purlins Produced by Our Machine

The C purlins you produce with this machine can be used in a wide range of construction scenarios:

• Roofing purlins and wall girts in industrial warehouses
• Mezzanine floors and bridging systems
• Canopies, carports, and parking shelters
• Pre-engineered steel buildings (PEBs)
• Agricultural and greenhouse structures

Their lightweight yet strong nature makes them perfect for modern, large-span steel buildings.

How Our Machine Works

The forming process begins when you load a coil of steel into the uncoiler. The sheet passes through a leveling system, then enters the forming rollers. At each forming station, the rollers gradually bend the sheet until it reaches the desired C-shaped profile. Finally, a hydraulic or flying shear cuts the purlin to the specified length without stopping the line, ensuring continuous, efficient production.

C Purlin vs. Other Purlin Options

Why choose C purlins over Z or U purlins?

• C purlins are ideal for shorter spans and simple roof designs.
• Easy to install and handle due to their lighter weight.
• Cost-effective for medium to large-scale projects.
• Compatible with most steel cladding and roofing systems.

If you also need Z purlins, check out our Quick-change CZ Purlin Roll Forming Machine, which can produce both profiles with minimal setup time.
