A roll former that manufactures steel roofing and ceiling battens (typically HAT shaped purlins) is known as roof batten roll forming machine or ceiling batten roll forming machine. Designed for precision manufacturing, our advanced roof batten and ceiling batten roll forming machine enables you to produce high-quality battens for both roofing and ceiling applications. Whether you need battens for residential, commercial, or industrial projects, our roll forming machine delivers exceptional results. With its advanced roll forming technology, our machine ensures accurate shaping and consistent profiles for reliable and durable battens. Its customizable settings allow you to produce battens of various sizes, thicknesses, and profiles, meeting the specific requirements of your roofing and ceiling projects.

“Batten has multiple meanings in construction and shipbuilding but is generally a strip of solid material, historically made from wood but can also be made from plastic, metal, or fiberglass. In the steel industry, battens used as furring may also be referred to as “top hats“, in reference to the profile of the metal.“

steel battens work most of time as roofing and ceiling. Steel foof and ceiling battens are light yet strong, offering an economical alternative to timber battens.

Manufactured from hi-tensile zinc/al steel, the battens are capable to remain straight and consistent throughout their long life.

As one of light gauge steel building materials, the roof battens work the same way as stud furring channels, or top hat purlins. Therefore, a roof batten roll forming machine actually has another names furring channel roll forming machine or top hat purlin roll forming machine.

Common reasons for applying steel roof and battens are as following:

Helps to prevent plaster board from cracking, which can happen when directly fixing the lining boards to timber.
It’s easy to obtain a flat level ceiling even if the timber is uneven.
Fixing of ceiling batten along with some clips will reduced impact of noise between the top and bottom floor in a residential house.
Timber shrinkage is less likely to affect steel battened linings.
Less chance for call-back maintenance saves time and money.

Brief Introduction of Roof Batten Roll Forming Machne or Ceiling Batten Roll Forming Machine

A standard roof batten roll forming machine, or ceiling batten roll forming machine consists of decoiling system, feeding unit, roll forming machine, cutting unit, hydraulic system, PLC control system and run-out tables.

Like other light gauge steel frame roll forming system, a roof batten roll forming machine works at a speed 0- 12m/min. Under the PLC control system, this roll forming machine cut the final products as per required lengths and quanitites. In addition, chains-sprokets transmission is typical transmission method for a ceiling batten or roof batten roll forming machine.

Besides, there is an embossing roller or roller for embossment at the feeding of roof batten roll forming machine. The embossed battens can offer higher strengths that some buildings may require in some regions or areas.

“You’ve made such a great roll forming equipment that helps me complete my projects so much faster and easier. ”

We make things easy for projects.

Roll forming machine usually is always our first choice as long as we need to produce metal sheet or steel section products. A roll forming machine can do automatic jobs of bending, cutting, pressing for holes and slots, and straightening etc.

Roll forming machines have so many advantages over press brake and shearing machines! With rollforming equipment, we can save much more time, working area, money as well as labors.

There are numourous applications where we need a roll forming machine. For example, we need roll forming machines to produce metal roofing and wall/siding. We must use decking roll forming machines to produce metal or steel decking for roofing and floor. Guardrail roll forming machines are used for producing crash barriers or guard rails on highway construction. Besides, we can find in the markets c/z steel purlin roll forming machines, top hat purlin roll formers; stud and track roll former for light weight steel buildings; down pipe roll forming machines and roll forming machines for door products etc.

Related Light Gauge Steel Frame Roll Formers

The most widely used lightweight or light gauge steel frame roll forming machines that can be found in the markets are like, metal stud and track roll forming machine, roof truss roll forming machine, top roof hat purlin roll forming mahine, roof and ceiling batten roll forming machine, and furring and hat channel roll forming machine etc.
