Metal Shelf Upright Roll Forming Machine Production Line Workflow
Decoiler → Leveling → Punching → Roll forming → Cutting → Finished product receiving rack

A complete Metal Shelf Upright Roll Forming Machine Production Line is a symphony of coordinated stations, each performing a critical function in sequence.
1.Decoiler
The journey begins with a robust uncoiling system, designed to handle heavy coils and feed material smoothly into the line.

| Type | Single-head decoiler |
| Maximum load capacity | 3 Tons |
| Maximum coil width |
inner diameter:300 mm outer diameter:1800 mm |
| Decoiler speed | 0-20 m/min |
| Hydraulic system |
Oil pressure: 8 megapascals Oil type: Hydraulic oil 46# Hydraulic motor power: 4 kw |
2. Leveling
The first crucial step is precision leveling, which removes any inherent coil curvature or stresses, ensuring perfectly flat material enters the forming process—a fundamental requirement for a flawless final profile.

| Flatness tolerance (millimeters/meter) | ±(1 - 2) mm/m |
| Number of leveling rollers | 11 |
| Leveling wheel |
Diameter: 80 mm Material: Cr12 Hardness (bore): 55-60 HRC Chromium plating thickness: 0.01-0.015 mm
|
| Electric motor | 1. Motor power: 4 kw 2. Number of motors: 1 AC motor/engine. 3. Variable frequency drive speed control. |
| Transmission method |
Gear transmission
|
3.Punching
Next, the material proceeds to a high-tonnage stamping station. This is where versatility is embedded into the line, as it can punch a series of precise holes, slots, or notches into the flat strip. These features are essential for shelf adjustability and assembly.

| Punching pressure | 80 Tons |
| Punching speed | 60-70 (beats/minute) |
| Number of molds | Two sets of molds, suitable for two different specifications. |
| Maximum mold height | 320 mm |
| Machine weight | 6.6. Tons |
4.Roll forming
Following punching, the heart of the Metal Shelf Upright Roll Forming Machine Production Line takes over: the roll forming section. Here, a meticulously engineered series of rotating dies progressively shape the flat, punched strip into the desired complex cross-section of the shelf upright. This cold-forming process guarantees exceptional strength, dimensional consistency, and a superb surface finish.

| Roll forming speed | 0-20 m/min |
| Number of rollers | 18 pairs of rollers |
| Rollers |
Material: Cr12 Diameter: 140 mm Roller Hardness: 55-60 (HRC) Chromium Plating Thickness: 0.01-0.015 mm
|
| Shafts | Material: 40Cr Diameter: 70 mm Hardness (bore diameter): HB 250-HB 280 |
| Electric motor |
1. Motor power: 15 kw 2. Quantity: 2 engines 3. Speed is adjusted via a frequency converter.
|
| Transmission method | Gear transmission |
5. Cutting
Once formed, the continuous profile moves to a precision cutting unit. The cutting system accurately cuts the profile to the required length without stopping the line, maintaining a high production rate.

| Cutting type | Hydraulic cutting |
| Blade material and hardness | Cr12MoV, hardness 58 - 62 (HRC) |
| Cutting speed | 2 seconds per product |
| Cutting force | 30 Tons |
| Hydraulic system | Oil pressure: 12 MPa Hydraulic motor power: 7.5 kW Oil cooling: Fan |
| Cutting ability | Mobile non-stop editing |
6. Finished product receiving rack
Finally, the finished uprights are gently transferred onto an outfeed rack or stacking system, organizing them for easy handling, packaging, or direct transfer to subsequent welding or finishing stages.

| Size | 3000 x 800 x 800 (mm) |
| Weight | 50 kgs |

FAQ
Q: Are you a trading company or a factory?
A: We are a factory with a professional production team and service consciousness, just for exporting various types of cold roll forming machines.
Q: Can a machine produce only one style of panel profile?
A: Not complete. Suitable for a Metal Shelf Upright Roll Forming Machine Production Line. It can produce more than 3 panels.
Q: How long does it take to manufacture the machine?
A: In general, the Metal Shelf Upright Roll Forming Machine Production Line be completed in 20 to 45 business days. But if you need machines urgently, we can save you time.
Q: Is there quality control when producing the production line?
A: Yes, we have a team that is responsible for quality control, including the laying of raw materials, processing rolls and other parts, processing, assembly, testing, and packaging on the roll surface and shaft.
Q: What can you do if the machine breaks?
A: Our machine is warranted for 24 months. If the damaged part cannot be repaired, we can send a new part to replace the damaged part, but you will need to pay the courier fee yourself. If the warranty period is exceeded, we can resolve the issue through negotiation, and we provide technical support for the entire life cycle of the device.
