The Steel keel roll forming machine is built for producing light steel frame profiles used in ceiling, wall and building decoration work. It follows the same cold forming idea used in Baoqiang Machinery's wider product line, including C/Z steel machines, floor deck machines, tile pressing machines, leveling machines and other auxiliary equipment. The Steel keel roll forming machine forms strip steel through several roller passes instead of heating the material, so the basic strength of the material is kept. The line is more useful when the buyer gives a clear drawing first, because the roller design, cutting system and speed all depend on the final keel shape.

Product Advantages
Highly Integrated, Fully Automated Production Line
The system integrates the entire process workflow, from raw material uncoiling to finished product collection. Operating as a fully synchronized line, it not only ensures a stable output of 6,000 to 8,000 meters per single 8-hour shift but also optimizes labor allocation through fully automated processes.
Modular Tooling Exchange: Versatility in a Single Machine
The equipment boasts exceptional versatility, capable of producing a wide range of keel cross-sections-from C-profiles to U-profiles. Thanks to a quick-change mechanism, the time required for model changeovers has been reduced to a mere 15 to 30 minutes. This multi-product capability within a single machine significantly enhances the utilization efficiency of factory floor space.
Servo Compensation and Precision Forming
The forming rollers are meticulously crafted from premium-grade mold steels-GCr15 or Cr12MoV-with a surface hardness maintained within the HRC 58–62 range. Combined with servo-driven flying shear technology, cross-sectional dimensional tolerances are strictly controlled within ±0.2 mm. The finished products require no secondary grinding or finishing, thereby facilitating higher installation efficiency at the job site.
User-Centric Interface and Extended Service Life
Controlled by a Siemens PLC system with touch-screen parameter adjustment, the equipment allows operators to achieve independent proficiency within just 1–2 days. Designed for a service life of 8–10 years, the machine requires only routine lubrication and fastener checks for daily maintenance.
Applications
1. Construction & Decoration Industry
Production of C-shaped and U-shaped keels for interior partition walls and suspended ceilings.
2. Prefabricated Construction Industry
Production of wall and floor keels for light-gauge steel villas and modular housing units.
3. Industrial Plants & Warehousing
Production of keels for factory partitions and back-support bracing for warehouse racking systems.
4. Commercial Interiors & Specialized Projects
Production of non-standard cross-section keels for unique suspended ceiling designs, maintenance walkways, and other specialized engineering applications.
Company Profile
Dongguang Baoqiang Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 2017 and specializes in cold roll forming machinery and tile pressing equipment. Leveraging its in-house CNC machining center, the company independently manufactures both the forming rollers and the complete machinery units.

The company provides comprehensive services, including pre-sales consultation and solution matching, transparent communication throughout the sales process, and free lifetime remote technical support.
FAQ
Q: Can punching be added on the line?
A: Yes, punching can be arranged before or after forming. We need the hole drawing to confirm the position and cylinder layout.
Q: Is the Steel keel roll forming machine only for one profile?
A: One machine is usually made around one profile family. Similar sizes may share rollers, but we check this before confirming the order.
Q: What service is available after delivery?
A: The company can offer instruction for installation, testing, adjustment and repair, matching the one-stop service described in the factory information.
