Product Definition
The multi-corrugated glazed tile roll forming machine is an automated system that uses precision roller sets to cold-press aluminum-zinc coated steel sheets into multi-peak glazed roofing panels. Its core features include a multi-corrugated structure (typically 5-7 peaks) and a special glazed coating (acrylic resin + sand particles) that mimics terracotta texture, combining strength with aesthetics. The production process requires no high-temperature firing, making it energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
Core Technical Advantages
Multi-Corrugated Structure: Enhances drainage efficiency and wind resistance, ideal for Kenya's rainy seasons and strong winds.
Smart Control System: PLC touchscreen operation with automatic parameter adjustment reduces operator training requirements.
Weather-Resistant Design: Quenching-hardened rollers extend lifespan; sealed control boxes resist coastal humidity corrosion.
Energy Efficiency: Consumes only 10% of the energy used in traditional tile firing, mitigating Kenya's power instability issues.
Kenya Market Adaptability
Climate Compatibility
The UV-protective glaze layer withstands East Africa's intense sunlight, while the sand-textured surface minimizes hail damage. Multi-channel drainage grooves significantly reduce monsoon leakage risks.
Economic & Policy Alignment
Compatible with locally sourced aluminum-zinc coated steel (e.g., Blue Nile Steel), lowering supply chain costs.
Output tiles meet Kenya's KS 1814 standard and qualify for government "Affordable Housing Program" requirements for lightweight, rapid-installation materials.
Short ROI period with production costs far below imported alternatives.
Social Demand Fit
Lightweight design (1/6 the weight of clay tiles) simplifies transportation/installation in remote areas. Rapid production supports post-disaster reconstruction.
