C channel roll forming machine
PUTAI Technology's C channel roll forming machine produces cold-formed C profiles from galvanized steel strip in one continuous line. The standard line runs web widths of 40–150 mm and flange heights of 30–50 mm in 0.35–0.6 mm material, at forming speeds of 25–40 m/min, holding ±0.5 mm on cut length and ±0.3 mm on web and flange.
C profiles from this line are used as the vertical framing of drywall partition walls, ceiling systems and light gauge steel structures.
Differences that matter at quotation stage: 12 forming stations with Cr12 forged rollers on 45# steel shafts, PLC control with servo tracking cut-to-length, and a reinforced frame option that extends the thickness range to 1.2 mm, or to 1.5 mm with a larger main motor.
Key Features
The C channel roll forming machine is supplied as a complete line. Main configuration points:
1. 12 forming stations — progressive cold roll forming rather than single-stroke bending, which keeps the profile consistent along the coil
2. Material: galvanized steel strip (GI / PPGI), 0.35–0.6 mm standard; 0.4–1.2 mm on reinforced frames; up to 1.5 mm with a larger main motor
3. Line speed: 25–40 m/min, up to 40 m/min productivity
4. Control system: PLC with servo tracking cutting; 12.5 kW main motor, gear drive transmission, 50 mm shafts
5. Cutting: servo tracking cut-to-length with GI/PPGI blade material, ±0.5 mm length tolerance
6. Rollers and shafts: Cr12 forged rollers, 45# steel shafts, heat treated
Profile and Size Range
The C channel roll forming machine is built to your C profile drawing. Standard coverage:
Web width: 40–150 mm
Flange height: 30–50 mm
Material thickness: 0.35–0.6 mm standard (customized)
One line covers both a C stud and a U track: the lip forming passes are adjustable, so the machine can switch between the lipped C section and the unlipped U track without a second line. This is the same CU stud & track system we build for drywall framing lines.

Customization and Optional Equipment
Most C channel buyers run more than one profile, so the C channel roll forming machine is normally configured to order:
1. Profile to your drawing — web, flange and lip dimensions are set from your C profile drawing
2. Punching — dimple punching and web notch patterns are configurable; embossing and logo marking available on request
3. Automation — optional automatic stacker and integrated packing system
4. Voltage — 380 / 415 / 460 V
5. Color — customized
6. Minimum order quantity — 1 set
FAQ: C Channel Roll Forming Machine
1. What material thickness can a C channel roll forming machine run?
Standard frames handle 0.4–1.2 mm galvanized strip; reinforced stands and a larger motor extend the range to 1.5 mm for structural profiles. The standard configuration covers 0.35–0.6 mm.
2. Can one machine make both C profiles and U track?
Yes. The lip forming passes are adjustable, so one drywall C U channel roll forming machine covers both profiles and switches between them quickly.
3. How do C stud and U track dimensions differ?
A C profile is a load-bearing member with return lips; the U track is the unlipped channel that receives it at floor and ceiling. The same line makes the U section by retracting the lip passes.
4. What accuracy and speed should we expect?
Length tolerance is ±0.5 mm, web and flange dimensions stay within ±0.3 mm, and typical running speed is 25–40 m/min depending on thickness.
5. What is the delivery time and how is the machine shipped?
Delivery is 60–90 days depending on configuration. Machines ship in standard seaworthy packing with plastic film wrap.
6. What about installation and service?
Engineers commission the line on site, train your operators, and provide remote PLC support, tooling and spare parts. Warranty is one year.
