This machine manufactures roofing panels featuring single snap-lock seams, designed for rapid assembly without the need for specialized tools. It accommodates various metal types, including coiled or sheet steel (with or without a polymer coating), copper (including patinated copper), aluminum, and zinc-titanium. Panel width adjustment is achieved in discrete steps.

Snap-lock seam panels are essential for simple double-pitch roofs with a minimum slope angle of 15 degrees. The equipment enables on-site or factory production of panels of virtually any length.

As a roofing professional seeking efficient installation solutions for such low-slope roofs, this roll-forming equipment is ideal. It simplifies the fabrication of snap-lock standing seam panels using diverse metals, offering manual control over both panel length and width.

Operators can select between straight or trapezoidal panel profiles. Additionally, the vertical roller pressure is adjustable, influencing panel stiffness and effective thickness. Optional rollers facilitate the creation of half-round or trapezoidal ribs. The machine also includes integrated hole drilling for concealed panel fasteners.

Understanding Snap-Lock:

The snap-lock mechanism enables straightforward, tool-free installation. Panels securely interlock with a simple pressing action, confirmed by an audible click. This design significantly reduces installation time and associated costs.

Customization & Versatility:

Our machines produce bespoke panels tailored to customer requirements, including specific colors, coatings, and profiles. Suitable for both residential and commercial applications, they generate long panels minimizing field seams. The snap-lock design expedites installation, eliminating extra tools and fasteners, and saving time and expense for installers and clients. The resulting panels are durable, heat-resistant, and low-maintenance.

Distinctive Capabilities:

This equipment uniquely handles materials up to 24 gauge, employing a multi-stage forming process that ensures consistent quality, high output, and minimal scrap. It features user-friendly controls for setting diverse plate lengths and widths, along with integrated safety systems for operator protection.

Adjustable Width Model:

An alternative configuration offers adjustable width capability, providing enhanced flexibility to meet virtually any custom width requirement.

System Advantages:

1. Superior Weather Protection: The fully interlocking joint system ensures excellent waterproofing and drainage across any roof shape. The absence of exposed fasteners allows natural thermal movement, eliminating leakage risks associated with screw-fixed systems.
2. Chemical-Free Sealing: Eliminates reliance on sealants, avoiding related pollution and degradation issues.
3. Integrated Design: Mature solutions for roof penetrations and lightning protection.
4. Enhanced Ventilation: Promotes air circulation, maintains structural dryness, and extends building longevity.
5. Design Flexibility: Efficiently produces distinctive three-dimensional curved profiles.
6. Structural Performance: Lightweight yet robust construction offers high resistance to negative wind pressure, ideal for severe weather regions.
7. Retrofit Capable: Well-suited for roof renovations or overlays.
8. Efficient Installation: Ensures construction is safe, swift, precise, and cost-effective.
