What’s Included in the Shipment

The quick change z purlin roll forming line shipped includes everything needed to start immediate production upon installation. Below is a breakdown of the major components included:
- Manual Decoiler – Designed for loading steel coils manually, this unit supports smooth feeding and tension control, ideal for smaller-scale operations or flexible material handling.
- Main Roll Forming Machine – The core component of the system. It features a modular roller design, precisely machined shafts, and a quick size-change mechanism for fast transition between different Z purlin sizes.
- Hydraulic Punching Stations – The system includes four hydraulic punching stations. These can be programmed for web holes, flange holes, and other configurations as per project requirements.
- Hydraulic Station – Provides the necessary power for punching and cutting operations. It’s engineered for high pressure, long-duration work with reliable components and minimal maintenance needs.
- PLC Control System – Based on an industrial-grade PLC, the system is equipped with a user-friendly HMI touchscreen for recipe selection, hole configuration, punching delay, and auto/manual modes. It supports automatic length measurement, hole positioning, and batch control.
- Exit Tables – Modular, heavy-duty non-powered tables for stacking and collecting finished Z purlin sections after the forming and punching processes.

Fast Change & Precision Punching
One of the key advantages of this z purlin roll forming machine is its quick size-change function. Operators can switch from one Z profile to another in under 15 minutes by adjusting the rollers with a handwheel and visual gauge. This reduces downtime and allows flexible production, which is crucial for job shops and multi-project operations. The fast change system also ensures high repeatability, making it suitable for long-run production of standardized Z sections.
The four punching stations give the user excellent flexibility to create various hole shapes and locations along the web or flange. These punching stations are servo-positioned for accuracy and can be programmed via the PLC interface. Typical punching patterns include oblong holes, round holes, and slots, enabling compatibility with a wide range of construction applications including solar panel mounting structures, steel buildings, warehouse racks, and more.
Packing and Loading for Export

All z channel roll forming machine parts were packed securely with anti-rust protection and reinforced frames for long-distance shipping. The components were loaded into one 40HQ container by experienced logistics staff. Electrical and hydraulic systems were disassembled and color-coded for quick reconnection upon arrival. A full set of documentation, including operation manuals, electric drawings, and video tutorials, was also included to support smooth installation and commissioning at the customer’s site.
