1. Equipment Definition
The Downspout Roll Forming Machine is an automated production line that transforms metal coils (galvanized steel, aluzinc, color-coated sheets) into rectangular/square drainage pipes via **continuous cold roll forming**. Designed for manufacturing building roof gutters and vertical downspouts.
2. Core Components & Workflow
| Module | Function | Key Technology |
|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| 1. Decoiling & Leveling** | Hydraulic auto-feeding, material stress relief | Servo tension control (±2%) |
| 2. Punching/Embossing** | Precision drainage hole punching (round/slot) + stiffening ribs | Pneumatic punching (≤120 strokes/min) |
| 3. Roll Forming | 12-18 precision rollers progressively form rectangular profiles (80×60mm~150×100mm) | Progressive bending (springback ≤0.3°) | | 4. Seam Locking | Automated hemming for leak-proof joints | European hidden-lock (tensile ≥5kN) |
| 5. Cutting | Hydraulic/flying saw cutting (±0.5mm length tolerance) | Encoder synchronization |
| 6. Auto-Stacking | Counting and palletizing (horizontal/vertical) | Pneumatic robotic arm |
3. Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Standard | Premium Option |
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Material | Galv. steel (0.4-1.0mm), color steel (0.5mm), aluminum (1.2mm) | Stainless steel (0.6-1.5mm) |
| Speed | 10-25 m/min | 30-40 m/min (servo-driven) |
| Profile Size | Rectangular: 60×40mm~120×80mm<br>Square: 50×50mm~100×100mm | Custom sections (tooling change) |
| Cutting Accuracy| ±1.0mm | ±0.3mm (laser-guided) |
| Waterproof Std. | EN 612 (wind load ≥1.5kPa) | ASTM B370 pressure test |
4. Key Advantages
1. Leak-Proof Integration
Double-hem locking (no rivets/adhesives), permanent sealing
Roller-polished interior (Ra≤1.6μm), minimizes debris buildup
2. Enhanced Structural Integrity
Optional stiffening rib unit (30% anti-deformation boost)
Supports multi-layer pipes (sound/thermal insulation)
3. Eco-Efficiency
3x lifespan vs. PVC pipes (25+ years weather resistance)
98% material utilization (near-zero waste)
5. Applications
| Building Type | Recommended Profile | Special Requirements |
|------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Residential | 80×60mm rectangular (0.5mm galv.) | Woodgrain/copper-color coating |
| Commercial Complex | 120×80mm square (0.8mm alum.) | Typhoon-resistant ribs |
| Industrial Plant | 150×100mm rectangular (1.0mm steel) | Acid-rain coating (PVDF) |
| Heritage Restoration**| Custom antique patterns | Handcrafted copper texture |
