Rollforming— Various edge joint profiles are formed by the rollforming units, the tooling can be easily changed 

Deep Profile Roof (DPR) machine— The optional DPR machine operates by feeding a continuous length of steel from the coil into the 19 station rollformer which forms a series of ribs in the panel face. The sheet is then fed into the laminating machine continuously where adhesive is applied and the insulation is bonded to the steel in the laminating process. 

Bandsaw Cut off— The Bandsaw is specially designed for ‘on the run’ cutting of the laminated panel. The computerised batching program ensures panels are cut to exact lengths
