Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine – Stepped Metal Roof Tile Line
Stepped glazed metal roof tile roll forming lines with 12-16 forming stands, hydraulic step-pressing (150-250 mm adjustable pitch) and Cr12MoV 3D contour shear. Built to your profile drawing.
APPLICATION & EQUIPMENT
Define the product you need to sell.
Create metal roof sheets with a tile-like appearance. These machines form metal, rather than ceramic tiles. Specify both the cross-section and stepped side view so the forming, pressing and cutting discussion starts from your roofing design.
Typical applications
- Stepped metal roofing
- Residential roofing material production
- Architectural metal roof profiles
Decisions to make early
- Provide the cross-section and stepped side view.
- Include the pressing cycle in your output target.
- Review the surface finish as well as the tile dimensions.

Speed, power, tooling, tolerances and control components belong in the agreed machine specification. They are not fixed across this equipment category.
ENGINEERING REFERENCE PARAMETERS
Verified workshop baseline specifications.
The following engineering baseline reflects measured workshop machine parameters and tooling standards. These figures are category references, not a fixed machine specification.
| Engineering Subsystem | Design Range & Workshop Baseline |
|---|---|
| Forming Profiles Baseline | Classic stepped glazed metal roof tiles (828 / 840 profiles; 840 is a China-market trapezoidal profile); simulates traditional ceramic tile aesthetics with modern sheet metal durability |
| Roll Stands & Stepping Unit | 12 to 16 continuous precision roll forming stands followed by dedicated heavy hydraulic step-pressing mold station |
| Stepping & Cutoff Specifications | Hydraulic step pressing unit with adjustable pitch (150 to 250 mm step pitch, step depth 28 to 30 mm); precision profile-contoured 3D shear dies |
| Tooling & Blade Material | Cr12MoV (≈ AISI D2 / SKD11) cold-work high wear resistance die steel (vacuum quenched) for long tooling life on prepainted steel |
| Motor Power & Operating Speed | Main drive motor: 5.5 to 7.5 kW; line speed: 8 to 15 meters per minute including step pressing dwell cycle |
| Electrical & Safety Adaptation | Drive motors carry CE attestation (Certificate M.2023.206.C82549) under EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, verified by UDEM International through March 2028. PLC touchscreen control with automatic length and batch counting; regional electrical codes and safety guarding adapted upon engineering consultation |

Common buying questions.
How are the stepped tile pitch and step depth adjusted on this line?
The step pitch is freely adjustable between 150 mm and 250 mm through the touchscreen PLC interface, while the step depth is calibrated between 28 mm and 30 mm using high-tonnage hydraulic stepping dies made of vacuum-quenched Cr12MoV alloy steel for crisp tile ridges.
Does the stepping and press-forming cycle cause paint peeling or surface scratches?
No, every roller is mirror-finished and coated with hard chrome over 0.05 mm thick, while the step pressing mold uses smooth radius transitions. This prevents paint micro-cracking, crazing, or coating peel on matte, polyester, or PVDF prepainted color coils.
What is the typical production speed including the hydraulic stepping dwell?
Glazed tile machines operate at an effective forming speed of 8 to 15 meters per minute. The PLC synchronizes the continuous roll forming feed with the intermittent hydraulic step-pressing and 3D profile contour shearing cycle for continuous automatic batching.
How is the machine packed and loaded into containers?
The machine body is protected with anti-rust oil, wrapped in waterproof film and shock-absorbent foam, and securely braced inside 20GP or 40HQ containers. Sensitive PLC control cabinets and hydraulic pump stations are packed in seaworthy wooden crates.
What is the typical lead time for this machine?
Typical fabrication lead time commonly ranges from 30 to 60 working days after receipt of the deposit and formal sign-off on tooling profile drawings. Multi-profile configurations or custom electrical specifications are scheduled per project agreement.
What after-sales support do you provide?
We provide technical assistance including remote video troubleshooting, rapid express delivery of spare parts, and on-site engineer dispatch for commissioning or repairs where agreed in the project contract.
What spare parts are included with the machine?
Each line ships with a standard wearable parts kit including limit switches, relay fuses, hydraulic seals, and adjusting tools. Custom spare packages including profile shear blades and punch die inserts are quoted per project requirements.
Can you customize the voltage for my country?
Yes, all drive motors and electrical cabinets are customized to match your local industrial grid, such as 380V, 415V, 440V, or 220V 3-phase at 50Hz or 60Hz. We configure industrial electrical components from recognized suppliers with proper thermal overloads to ensure stable operation.
Do you provide installation and commissioning service?
We provide comprehensive step-by-step video manuals and remote video technical support for machine setup and trial runs. On-site engineer dispatch for commissioning and operator training is available upon request and confirmed in the sales agreement.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order quantity is 1 set. Whether you are starting a new fabrication workshop or adding a specialized line to an existing plant, we design, test, and ship complete custom roll forming lines with full technical documentation for single-machine orders.
What payment terms do you accept?
We accept T/T with a 30% advance deposit upon contract signing and 70% balance payment after factory trial acceptance and prior to sea shipment. Irrevocable letters of credit (L/C at sight) are also accepted upon mutual financial agreement.
