Why Choose a Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine for Metal Roofing Production? One of the most common roll formed products in daily life is metal roofing sheet. From residential houses to commercial complexes, metal roofing has become the go-to choice because of its durability, affordability, and visual appeal. Among the many roofing options available, glazed roof tiles stand out for their elegant look. These tiles resemble traditional clay tiles but are manufactured from galvanized or pre-painted steel sheets, combining beauty with strength. To manufacture them, industries rely on a specialized piece of equipment: the glazed tile roll forming machine.

What is a Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine?

A glazed tile roll forming machine is an advanced roll forming line designed to produce metal roof sheets with stepped tile patterns. Unlike plain corrugated or trapezoidal roof sheets, glazed tiles feature decorative steps that mimic traditional ceramic roofing while offering the longevity of coated metal.

Compared to other metal roof panel roll forming machines, a glazed tile roll forming machine includes one additional step – hydraulic pressing for the glazed tile steps. This pressing process allows manufacturers to create roof panels with depth, shape, and texture, making them suitable for upscale housing projects, villas, schools, and public buildings.

How Does It Differ from a Regular Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine?

A regular metal roof panel roll forming machine usually consists of:

• Decoiler
• Feeding guide
• Roll forming stations
• Transmission system
• Hydraulic system
• Cutting unit
• PLC control panel

In comparison, the glazed roof tile roll forming machine has one extra section – the step pressing part. This unit presses the sheet into multiple steps at regular intervals, creating the signature tiled effect. The pressing part is powered by a hydraulic pump, which means:

• The hydraulic system capacity is larger than a standard roll former.
• The machine is generally heavier and longer.
• Operators can adjust the depth, length, and number of steps via the PLC system, giving full flexibility to produce different designs on the same machine.

Why Choose Glazed Roof Tiles?

Homeowners, architects, and builders increasingly prefer glazed metal roof tiles because they offer:

1. Aesthetic appeal – they look like ceramic or clay tiles but last much longer.
2. Durability – made from galvanized or pre-painted steel, resistant to rust, UV, and weathering.
3. Lightweight structure – easier to transport and install compared to clay tiles.
4. Cost-effectiveness – combines beauty with the economic advantages of roll formed steel roofing.
5. Flexibility in design – different colors, profiles, and step dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What raw materials can be used with a glazed tile roll forming machine?
A1: Commonly used materials include galvanized steel, color-coated PPGI sheets, and aluminum-zinc coated steel. Similar like for other roof and wall panel roll forming machines, material thickness usually ranges between 0.3–0.6 mm.

Q2: How many different tile designs can one machine produce?
A2: With adjustable step depth and length via PLC, the machine can produce multiple step tile designs. However, major profile changes may require new roller sets.

Q3: What is the production speed of the machine?
A3: Due to the step pressing process, glazed tile machines operate slower than regular roof sheet machines, typically 3–6 meters per minute.

Q4: Is the machine fully automatic?
A4: Yes, the machine uses a PLC control system where operators can set step length, sheet length, and production quantity.
