Snap lock roofing panel roll forming machine Snap lock metal roofing machine
Snap lock roofing panel roll forming machine is designed and manufactured by our company as one of the flagman equipment for metal roofing panels production. Following machine makes standing seam roofing panels with self-closing lock on sides (snap lock).
The main advantage of such lock system is the easy way of installation: to connect two panels with each other you just need to cover bottom part with top part and press it with some force, you will hear specific click noise at this very moment. That is why name of system is self-closing lock one. Comparing to standard standing seam roofing panels with mechanical lock which you need to close with special tools or equipment, snap lock panels are much easier to install and don’t require additional expensive devices for work.
To fix panels at the roof frame you can use standard self-tapping screws, to make it possible, while rolling machine makes special fixation holes on one side of roofing panels. Such simple product design also helps to save costs and make installation process easier, not spending money on clips purchasing, comparing to the standard standing seam metal roofing with mechanical lock installation. So standing seam roofing with snap lock is easier to install, does not require high skilled employees and cut expenses for additional machines purchases.

Snap lock metal roofing machine working process operates as following
The metal coil material gets feed into the machine from the decoiler.
The chain drives rollers to pull the metal through the inside of the roll forming machine system.
The metal goes through the forming rollers at each forming station, where the panel or gutter gradually forms into the desired end product.
Depending on the profile, most portable metal roofing and gutter machines have around 15 forming stations on each side.
The panel or gutter is cut using a shear or guillotine at the specified length, which is either measured by hand or controlled by a computer (either manual or automated depending on the machine).
Snap Lock portable metal roofing panel machines are capable of producing 12 and 16 inch wide architectural snap lock (Nail Leg) style metal roofing panels for residential and light commercial applications. This machine forms continuous metal roofing panels for eave to ridge installation and its design eliminates the need for an additional fastener. Metal panels can be produced from steel, aluminum or copper.
