Advanced Effective Ridge Cap Roll Forming Machine With Safety-Fold Profile Design

1. Production Line Overview

This ridge cap roll forming line is designed for small to mid-sized roofing manufacturers focusing on galvanized and pre-painted metal profiles. Its cost-effective setup, safety-oriented profile, and stable forming process make it ideal for residential and light steel building markets worldwide.

2. Profile Description

The metal ridge cap is made from galvanized or pre-painted steel sheets, with thickness between 0.3–0.6mm. The profile features symmetrical raised peaks and folded edges for water protection and installer safety. It's mainly used in metal roof systems as a joint cover at the ridge section.

3. Production Process

Flow Chart:

Manual Decoiler → Entry Guide → Roll Former → Hydraulic Cutter → Out Table

Process:

Steel coil is manually loaded and guided into the roll forming unit, where the sheet passes through 17 forming stations to achieve its final shape with folded edges. After shaping, a hydraulic cutter ensures precise cutting to length. The formed ridge cap is then collected on the output table.
