Innovation Brief from Samco Machinery: Bridge Decking Roll Forming Line

TORONTO, September 9, 2015 – Samco Machinery introduces a continuous and high-performance bridge deck roll forming line with a post-cut operation. All four profiles (2-inch, 2-1/2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch) are roll formed, end formed in the press and cut-to-length, utilizing quick changeovers from one profile to the other using rafted tops (cassettes) with quick-coupling disconnects.

Key features:

  • 20K single-ended uncoiler with coil car, hydraulically powered full time, driven with mandrel expansion.
  • Hydraulically powered Up/Down threading table to assist in threading raw materials into the system.
  • Length control system helps operator set length and quantity.
  • 28-pass rafted roll former with gear box drive at every station.
  • Stationary hydraulic cut-off press, suitable for “stop-and-go” cut and form operation.
