Materials and Weights That Can Be Used in Decoilers Used in Roll Forming Lines

Decoilers used in roll forming lines make metal sheets ready for roll forming process by opening them into strips of a certain width and thickness. The type and weight of the material that can be processed in these machines varies according to the technical characteristics of the machine, the sharpness of the blades used and the properties of the metal.

Types of Materials That Can Be Processed

Generally, the following materials are processed in roll forming lines:

• Steel: Different types of steel are often used, such as forged steel, sheet steel, stainless steel, etc.
• Aluminum: Due to its light weight and easy machinability, aluminum sheets are also widely preferred.
• Copper: Copper plates can also be machined because of its high electrical conductivity.
• Brass: Brass plates are also preferred due to their corrosion resistance.

• Stainless Steel: Due to its durability and aesthetic appearance, stainless steel plates are also processed.

Material Weights That Can Be Processed

The weight of material that can be processed depends on the capacity of the decoiler and the thickness of the metal. This capacity, which is usually expressed in tons, varies from machine to machine. There are lightweight decoilers designed for small businesses, as well as powerful decoilers that can unroll multi-ton materials used in large industrial plants.

Influencing Factors:

• Machine Capacity: Factors such as the motor power of the machine, the thickness and structure of the blades, and the diameter of the rolls determine the weight of the material that can be processed.
• Material Thickness: Thicker materials require a more powerful machine.
• Material Hardness: Harder metals may require more powerful machines because they are more difficult to open.
• Material Width: The width of the material to be rolled out also affects the capacity of the machine.

Considerations

• Safety: Decoilers are powerful machines. Safety precautions should be observed during operations.
• Maintenance: The machine should be maintained regularly, the blades should be replaced in a timely manner.
• Settings: The settings of the machine should be made according to the thickness and type of material.

Cooling: In some cases, especially in thick and hard materials, cooling systems are used to prevent heating.
