CU Angular Solar Channel Roll Forming Machine

The CU Angular Solar Channel Roll Forming Machine (4 mm, 30 m/min) delivers high speed, high-precision production of durable C and U solar mounting channels for professional solar structure manufacturing.

Product description

CU Solar Channel Roll Forming Machine 

The CU Angular Solar Channel Roll Forming Machine (4 mm, 30 m/min) is a high precision production line designed for manufacturing solar mounting structure profiles with maximum accuracy, strength, and speed. Engineered for heavy duty applications, this machine forms C and U Angular solar channels from steel coils up to 4 mm thickness, ensuring reliable performance for large-scale solar projects.

With a production speed of 30 meters per minute, the line offers outstanding efficiency, stable forming, and consistent profile quality ideal for both utility scale and commercial solar installations. Equipped with servo feeding, hydraulic punching, and precise cutting systems, it guarantees clean edges and exact dimensions for every profile.

The robust structure, advanced PLC control, and high grade forming rollers help achieve long service life and reduced maintenance, making it the perfect solution for manufacturers demanding durability and accuracy in solar structure production.
