C Z Purlin Roll Forming Machine
in short, A cee purlin and z purlins are horizontal beams or bars used for structural support in buildings. in fact, Wuxi LOTOS purlin roll former can Produce different size purlins. ▷ Purlin Roll Forming Machine and Purlin Machine 2022 ◁ are the roll forming machines for producing steel z Perlin, also called Interchangeable purlin roll forming machine or z purlin making machine.in addition, in steel construction, the term purlin typically refers to roof framing members that span parallel to the building eave and support the roof decking or sheeting.
The steel c purlins in turn support by rafters or walls. So pre-punched purlins are quick to install and suitable for both insulated and uninsulated roofs and walls. almost, The thickness and height of the purlin selected depend on span length and loads.
Applications of C & Z purlin include:
- Industrial construction
- Hall and warehouse construction
- Extension construction and renovation
- Agricultural projects
CZU Roll Forming Line
As roll forming technology continues to advance, there are now automatic quick-change C and Z steel purlin roll forming machines. In fact, these machines are designed to quickly switch between forming different shapes, such as the Z-shaped steel purlins. Furthermore, the Automatic Interchangeable U purlin roll forming machine, also known as the PLC automatic purlin making machine, offers even greater versatility. This means that one machine can produce not only steel C purlins but also customize the flange and lip dimensions with precision.
As a result, these innovations significantly enhance production efficiency by allowing manufacturers to produce multiple purlin types and dimensions without the need for time consuming manual adjustments. Consequently, businesses can meet varying project requirements quickly and efficiently.
C PURLIN PRODUCTION LINE
In the steel industry, it is common practice to assign structural shapes representative designations to simplify descriptions in drawings and documentation. For example, channel sections, with or without flange stiffeners, are typically referred to as C shapes. Meanwhile, channel sections without flange stiffeners are often called U shapes. In particular, in steel building construction, secondary members like purlins for roofs and girts for walls are frequently cold-formed into C, Z, or U sections. Additionally, G purlins are commonly used for similar purposes.
In this regard, LOTOS offers versatile machines capable of producing Z, C, and G purlins, along with other Purlin Roll Forming Machines. These machines are available in a variety of sizes and feature highly precise punching options, ensuring accuracy in production. As a result, they meet the diverse needs of modern steel construction projects.
CU purlin machine
The 5mm C Purlin Machine is a cutting-edge roll forming machine, specifically design to produce robust C-shaped purlins from 5mm thick metal sheets. Moreover, its precision engineering ensures that each purlin meets stringent quality standards, making it an indispensable tool for modern construction projects. Furthermore, the machine’s advanced design allows for seamless and efficient production, significantly reducing the time and labor require compare to traditional methods.
One of the standout features of the 5mm C Purlin Machine is its ability to maintain consistent quality across large production runs. The machine’s automate control systems enable precise adjustments, ensuring that each purlin is formed to exact specifications. As a result, this level of precision not only enhances the structural integrity of the purlins, but also minimizes material waste, leading to cost savings for manufacturers. Additionally, the durability of the produce purlins makes them ideal for various structural applications, including roofing, walls, and support beams in construction.
In addition to its technical capabilities, the 5mm C Purlin Machine offers significant operational benefits. Its high-speed forming capabilities enhance productivity, allowing manufacturers to meet tight project deadlines without compromising on quality. Consequently, the machine’s robust construction requires minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and further contributing to overall operational efficiency. Therefore, for businesses in the construction industry, investing in the 5mm C Purlin Machine translates to improved production efficiency, reduced costs, and superior product quality, making it a valuable addition to any manufacturing setup.

The Main Purpose and Characteristics
in truth, This Fully automatic purlin making machine uses the same set of equipment to produce all the specifications in the C and Z Galvanised Steel Purlins plate type drawing, and the C specification conversion is completely automatic, and the operation is convenient and fast. Specifically, The structural design of the coaxial sliding sleeve eliminates the old cantilever unilateral forming unit and solves the problems of the insufficient structural strength and speed difference, and deviation. moreover, an industrial PLC, auxiliary electrical components, and a human-computer interaction interface completes the control system. the production efficiency is high, the specification adjustment can be completed in a few seconds, and the control system automatically adjusts as long as the parameters are input on the display screen.

(4) Install the material guide plate and the discharge plate before and after the shearing, structure to ensure smooth material in and out.
C and Z Purlin Roll Forming Machines: Gearbox vs. Chain Transmission
we want to compare two types of c and Z Pearl and roll forming machines type 1 multi-size CZ purlin machine with gearbox transmission and thickness of about 5 millimeters.type 2 multi-size CZ purlin machine with chain transmission.
- Type 1 (Gearbox Transmission) is better suited for applications where high precision, stability, and working with thicker materials (like 5mm) are required, and where the production volume justifies the higher initial cost.
- Type 2 (Chain Transmission) is more appropriate for lighter-duty work, smaller budgets, or applications where thicker materials or high precision are not essential, but cost efficiency is.
