Duplex Rollformers
Many manufacturers of steel studs, purlins, roof trusses make more than one product on the same roll former. In many facilities, an entire day can be spent changing each roll on the rollformer getting ready for another product. In the stud industry where the speed of a rollformer is critical (rollformers run at over 500 fpm) because the volumes are so high, this downtime causes a huge ineffiency.
Samco has a duplex rollformer for these customers. The width of the web or flange for example can be changed at literally the touch of a button. On our purlin rollformers for example, even changing from a CEE to a ZEE purlin can be done in 7 seconds at the touch of a button! The stud and track industry cannot afford to have this downtime with the increasing demand for their products. All the stud manufacturers are using duplex rollformers.
