Plate rolling is incredibly popular within the construction and engineering industries. It is also an essential feature when it comes to metal fabrication. Find out more below, and view the latest plate rolling machine to join the Masterhitch workshop!
WHAT IS PLATE ROLLING?
Plate rolling can be known as various things such as plate bending and even roll bending. Essentially, the machine is used to roll sheets of material in order to manipulate the shape of them. If you’re looking to buy new excavator buckets, then this is the process commonly used to bend the metal into the shape of a bucket.
Additionally, plate rolling is used for the following:
- Pipes
- Tanker trailers
- Pressure vessels
- Cylindrical parts
- Car / Transport parts
How does it work?
Whilst there are many types of plate rolling machines, most of which will bend the metal into cylindrical shapes. There are also machines that will do the opposite and create straight pieces of metal!
The plate rolling machine is made up of 3 or 4 metal rollers as standard. Hydraulics are then used in addition to the rollers in most scenarios to bend the material around the rollers.
MASTERHITCH’S NEW PLATE ROLLING MACHINE
The team at Masterhitch Europe Ltd have been extremely excited for the delivery of the new Davi MCB 4-Roll plate rolling machine. Since the machine has arrived in the warehouse, it is now our latest bit of kit.Productivity is of the essence at Masterhitch and that’s why our new 4-roll machine was the obvious choice. Using the latest technology, the bottom roll clamps the plate to ensure we have perfect control over the position of the sheet during the whole forming process.
We can now roll up to a 22mm thick plate of metal, which is 3000mm wide. We can roll this into a tube with a minimum internal diameter of 1700mm. How impressive!
