Technical Parameters

What Is An Aluminium Long Span Roof Sheet Roll Forming Machine?

An Aluminium Long Span Roof Sheet Roll Forming Machine is an advanced automated industrial cold rolling system designed to continuously transform flat aluminium or coated steel coils into long-span corrugated or stepped trapezoidal roofing sheets.

Because aluminium roofing sheets are lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically attractive, long span aluminium roofing has become the predominant choice for modern residential, commercial, and church roofing in Nigeria and West Africa.

The continuous roll forming process operated by Hangzhou Star Form Machinery involves:

Guide device: Feeding flat metallic coils smoothly into the entry machine body.

Progressive Bending: Passing through multiple precision-machined roller stations to gradually form ribs, valleys, and side laps without cracking the aluminium surface coating.

Electric Shearing: Cutting the formed panel to exact custom lengths automatically via PLC length-measurement encoders.

Applications of Aluminium Long Span & Roofing Roll Forming Machines

Aluminium long span and trapezoidal roof profiles produced by Hangzhou Star Form Machinery are widely used across multiple structural and architectural applications:

Residential Housing in West Africa: Long span aluminium roof panels are the top choice in Nigeria for modern bungalows, villas, duplexes, and estate developments due to their rust-proof performance in tropical, humid, and coastal environments.

Commercial & Industrial Roofing: Ideal for factory warehouses, shopping malls, logistics parks, and office buildings requiring long uninterrupted roof spans and efficient rainwater drainage.

Public Facilities & Religious Buildings: Extensively installed on churches, schools, hospitals, and community centers across African urban and rural centers.

Wall Cladding & Exterior Facades: Can be mounted vertically or horizontally to provide sleek, weatherproof exterior vertical wall systems.

Agricultural Buildings: Used for poultry farms, crop storage, and livestock sheds where anti-corrosion properties against animal waste and moisture are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions：

Q1: Why is Aluminium Long Span Roofing so popular in Nigeria and West Africa?

A: Aluminium long span sheets offer high corrosion resistance, zero rust, excellent heat reflectivity in tropical climates, lightweight structure (reducing building frame costs), and long service life exceeding 30 years compared to traditional galvanized iron sheets.

Q2: What coil widths and raw materials are used for the Nigerian Long Span machine?

A: The standard coil input width for the Nigerian market is usually 1200mm or 1000mm. The materials include Aluminium Coils, Prepainted Aluminium (PPAL), PPGI, and Aluzinc/Galvalume coils.

Q3: How to protect the surface of aluminium coils from scratching during roll forming?

A: Hangzhou Star Form Machinery applies high-precision chrome-plated rollers (0.05mm hard chrome coating), soft protective feeding guides, and specialized roller angle designs. Additionally, protective film applicators can be integrated to coat the aluminium sheet prior to forming.

Q4: Can one machine produce both Longspan profiles and Step Tile profiles?

A: Depending on design preferences, we can manufacture a Dual-Level / Double-Deck Roll Forming Machine that incorporates both a Longspan trapezoidal line and a Step Tile line within one compact machine frame, saving both floor space and investment costs.

Q5: How long does it take to ship a machine from Hangzhou Star Form Machinery to Lagos/Tincan/Onne Port in Nigeria?

A: Manufacturing typically takes 60–80 days. Sea freight shipping from Shanghai/Ningbo port to major Nigerian ports (Lagos Apapa/Tincan/Onne) generally takes around 35–45 days.

Q6: Does Hangzhou Star Form Machinery provide installation, testing, and operation training?

A: Yes! We offer comprehensive user manuals, detailed video setup guides, online remote commissioning, and optional dispatch of technical engineers to your local factory in Nigeria or other global destinations for installation and team training.
