Successful Commissioning of Metal Roof Snow Rail Kit Roll Forming Machine in Saudi Arabia
Successful Commissioning of Metal Roof Snow Rail Kit Roll Forming Machine in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia， June 19, 2025 — We are pleased to announce the successful commissioning of our Metal Roof Snow Rail Kit Roll Forming Machine, specially designed for the precision manufacturing of snow guard profiles used in metal roofing systems across cold and snowy regions.
The newly installed production line has been thoroughly tested and fine-tuned to meet full operational standards. During commissioning, the machine demonstrated excellent performance in speed, stability, and product quality—consistently forming 29-gauge steel snow rail profiles with high precision and smooth finishes.
The fully automated system features adjustable coil width (150mm–300mm), advanced GCr15 hardened roller tooling, and a high-speed shearing unit, ensuring production speeds up to 25 m/min with cutting accuracy of ±1mm. Its intelligent PLC control system with touchscreen HMI allows for easy operation, quick profile changeovers, and built-in safety diagnostics.
