For steel structure house builders, the long service life of the C channel purlin forming machine is a very important concept.

I met a client from South Africa, Bestbuymetals, a manufacturer of building materials in the housing construction industry. He received a project to build a 2000 square meters steel structure workshop. Because C-shaped purlins are needed to build the house structure, only the C-channel purlins are in good shape and are not easily deformed in order to meet the quality standards and ensure their service life. In the past project, because the C-channel purlin molding process was immature, it could not meet his needs for long-life houses.

We provided him with a C channel purlin forming machine for building structure construction. Our raw materials are purchased from large domestic steel plants. Large domestic steel mills attach importance to quality and reputation, so they can ensure that the raw materials used to manufacture roller parts are steel and chromium, and they can meet the standards through quality inspections. Can meet the needs of quality standards.
Our molding process is designed by copra software and supported by data, which can ensure that the shape of the purlin is intact and not easily deformed during molding, and improve the service life of the C channel purlin molding machine.

Advantages of C channel purlin forming machine:
1. The forming thickness is large, the highest can reach 4mm
2. CZ purlin interchangeable model machines can be upgraded
3. Front shearing system, more accurate size, no waste
4. Bottom width can be adjusted

Later, Mr. Bestbuymetals continued to occupy the market share through the machines we provided and improved economic efficiency. We also became a happy partner.

Channel Purlin Forming Machine Overview

The C channel purlin forming machine is a specialized roll forming equipment designed for producing high-quality C-shaped steel purlins used in steel structure buildings. This line integrates decoiling, leveling, forming, punching, cutting, and stacking into one automatic process. With high precision and efficiency, it’s ideal for light steel workshops, warehouses, and prefabricated construction projects.

The machine can produce multiple sizes of C purlins without manual roller changing, which greatly saves setup time and labor costs. Supported by a PLC control system and automatic hydraulic cutting, the line ensures stable performance and long service life.

Applications of C Channel Purlins

C channel purlins are widely used in various metal building and steel structure applications, including:

  • Industrial workshops

  • Warehouses and storage buildings

  • Roofing and wall support systems

  • Prefabricated and modular buildings

  • Solar mounting structures

These C purlins provide strong structural support while reducing the overall weight of the building, making them an economical and durable choice for construction projects.


Production Process

  1. Decoiling – Automatic uncoiling of galvanized steel coil

  2. Leveling & Feeding – Ensures straight, flat material entry

  3. Forming – Step-by-step roll forming into C purlin shape

  4. Cutting – Hydraulic cutting system with high precision

  5. Output & Stacking – Finished C purlins automatically collected
