Generally, an IBR roof sheet roll forming equipment can easily produce the the metal roofing with Inverted Box Ribs. Like other roof and wall sheet machines,  roll forming machine for IBR roofing sheets has advanced PLC control system & Omron encoder and is capable to run both automatically and manually.

IBR roof panel roll forming machine is a common roof sheet roll forming machine, but the finished products are used mainly in South African market. Typically, there are two standard IBR sheet profiles, 686mm and 890mm effective widths. The raw materials would be 925mm and 1219mm width galvanized steel coils with 0.35-0.6mm material thickness.

Different forming stands structures are available for IBR roofing sheet roll forming machine, i.e. separate forming stands structure and conjoint forming stands structure.This roll forming machine roll forms IBR roof panel completely automatically. Only two operators can do all the jobs, from feeding, to the final exiting.

Main Components
  • Decoiler: 5T Manual/Hydraulic type optional
  • Feeding Guide: Handling wheels alignment
  • Roll Forming Machine: Integral metal-plate welded stands structure; Independent Portal Frame stands structure
  • Cutoff Unit: Hydraulic stop to cut, with Servo-driven nonstop cutoff solution optional
  • Control Cabinet: PLC Control Automation
  • Hydrualic Pump: with fan cooling device optional
  • Exit Table: Unpowered rolls exit tables, Auto-stacking optional

In many African markets, modular and prefabricated construction has become increasingly popular because of its fast installation, cost efficiency, and long-lasting durability. Within this context, IBR roofing sheets play a critical role as a reliable roofing and cladding option.

Traditionally, corrugated sheets and trapezoidal profiles were common in roofing projects. However, the introduction of IBR roofing sheets offered better performance in terms of water drainage, wider covering width, and stronger load-bearing capacity. Compared to corrugated sheets, IBR sheets are easier to install and require fewer sheets per square meter, reducing both labor and material costs.

This is why IBR sheet roll forming machines are in high demand — they allow local roofing manufacturers and contractors to produce high-quality IBR sheets on-site or in their factories, ensuring consistent supply for booming construction markets.

Applictions of IBR Roofing Sheets

IBR roofing sheets

The IBR metal roofing roll forming machine is particularly popular in Africa due to several factors. Firstly, IBR sheets are widely used in roofing applications across the continent.

The unique box rib design of IBR sheets provides enhanced structural integrity, making them suitable for various weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and strong winds, which are common in many African regions.


Additionally, IBR roofing sheets are known for their durability and longevity, which is crucial in areas with harsh climates. They offer protection against UV radiation, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, making them a popular choice for roofing in Africa.

The IBR roofing sheet making machine enables local manufacturing of IBR sheets, reducing the need for importation and ensuring a steady supply of roofing materials. This promotes local industry growth and employment opportunities.


Moreover, the machine allows for customization, accommodating different roof sizes and designs prevalent in African architecture. This flexibility meets the diverse roofing requirements across the continent.

Lastly, the affordability and cost-effectiveness of 686 IBR sheets or 890 IBR sheets make them accessible to a wide range of customers, including residential, commercial, and industrial projects. The IBR sheet roll former plays a crucial role in meeting the high demand for roofing materials in Africa, contributing to the growth of the construction industry and infrastructure development in the region.

Q1: What profiles can an IBR sheet roll forming machine produce?

A: It is mainly designed to produce IBR 686 and IBR 890 roofing sheets, which are widely used in African markets for industrial and residential buildings.

Q3. What coil widths are supported for manufacturing IBR roofing sheets?

A: Standard input coil widths are 925 mm for 686 IBR sheet profiles and 1200 mm for 890 IBR sheet profiles.
