Floor decking forming machine is a specialised piece of construction equipment used to automate the placement and fastening of metal floor decking (profiled steel sheets) onto the structural steel frame of a building.
Its primary purpose is to significantly increase the speed, safety, and efficiency of constructing composite floors in multi-story buildings like offices, apartments, hospitals, and hotels.
Main Components
| Decoiler | Holds and feeds steel coils smoothly into the line |
| Levelling System | Ensures flat, uniform material before forming |
| Roll Forming Unit | Precision-engineered rollers shape steel into different profiles with accuracy |
| Hydraulic Cutting System | Provides fast, clean, and burr-free cuts to required lengths. |
| Control System | User-friendly interface for automatic operation and easy adjustments |
| Output Table | Collects finished products for efficient handling and packaging |
Key Features
- Efficient Automated Production: A PLC control system enables automatic length measurement and cutting, reducing manual intervention.
- Material Savings and Structural Strengthening: The rolls are manufactured using high-strength steel (such as 45# steel) and combined with hydraulic shearing technology to efficiently cut thin sheets of 0.8-1.2mm, reducing steel and concrete usage by approximately 20% compared to traditional formwork.
- High Production Efficiency: A chain drive structure allows for line speeds of 8-12m/min, increasing production efficiency by over 30% compared to traditional equipment.
- Adaptability to Various Construction Scenarios: Supports the laying of corrugated steel sheets on multiple floors, combined with a layered concrete pouring process, for rapid steel structure construction. It can be used as a formwork in cantilevered conditions, and adjustable stiffener and negative reinforcement design can accommodate varying cantilever lengths.
