Purlin Machine
This heavy-duty roll former produces roof rafter and sidewall supports safely, rapidly and to exact specifications.
Because it's fully automated, operators with no special skills can master the controls in a very short time. Raw materials go in one end, finished products come out the other. Built-in safeguards protect operators.
Adapts quickly to changing requirements for gauge thicknesses, web widths, flange heights and cross section shapes. Designed for easy maintenance, setup and changeouts.
Productivity and long life
