What is a rack roll forming machine? A rack roll forming machine produces the steel components of storage racking systems — uprights, beams and shelf panels — by continuously forming steel coil into high-load-bearing profiles. Zhongyuan supplies a full range of racking roll forming machines covering the three core component series.
Which racking components can the machines produce? Zhongyuan rack roll forming machines cover three series: the Upright Series (heavy pallet upright, slotted angle, light upright), the Beam Series (P-beam, closed box beam, bracket beam) and the Panel Series (shelf deck, mezzanine floor deck, reinforcement rib) — a complete component set for pallet racking and shelving systems.
What material does the rack beam machine process? The P-beam roll forming line processes galvanized steel sheet from 2.0 to 3.0 mm thick with a high yield strength of 550 MPa, fed from a 5-ton decoiler with 508 mm coil inner diameter — thick, high-strength material that demands heavy-duty forming equipment.
What components does the beam roll forming line include? The beam line includes: a manual or electric 5-ton decoiler, a roll forming system with about 30 stands driven by four 5.5 kW motors, a hydraulic stop-and-cut unit with Cr12MoV tool-steel blades, a 4 kW hydraulic power unit, a PLC control system (Delta from Taiwan or Mitsubishi from Japan), and two non-powered run-out tables totaling 3 meters.
How does the machine achieve high load-bearing capacity? Zhongyuan beam roll forming machines feature large shaft diameters and high-load rollers, allowing them to process thicker steel plates and wider profiles with excellent forming stability — the key requirement for racking beams that must carry heavy pallet loads safely.
