Find answers to common questions about US Rollformers equipment, custom configurations, pricing, materials, manufacturing schedules, delivery, and financing.
General Roll-Forming Machine Questions
What is a roll-forming machine?
A roll-forming machine passes metal coil through a series of forming rollers. Each stage progressively shapes the material until it reaches the intended cross-sectional profile.
What products can your machines manufacture?
US Rollformers manufactures equipment for producing gutters, box gutters, half-round gutters, downspouts, elbows, coping profiles and custom-formed metal products. Available machine configurations depend on the required profile, dimensions, material and production requirements.
Are your machines manufactured in the United States?
Yes. US Rollformers manufactures its machinery in the United States and serves customers nationwide.
Customization and Specifications
Can you build a machine for a custom profile?
Yes. Custom-machine feasibility depends on the profile geometry, dimensions, material type, thickness, tolerances and production requirements. Send an available drawing, sketch or sample with your quote request so our team can evaluate the project.
What materials can the machines process?
Depending on the machine and profile, equipment may be configured to process aluminum, steel, Galvalume or copper. The material type, alloy, temper, coating, thickness and coil width must be approved for the specific machine configuration.
What information do you need to recommend a machine?
Provide the desired profile, finished dimensions, material type, gauge or thickness, coil width, required production speed or volume, finished cut lengths, available electrical power, floor space and any required auxiliary equipment. You do not need to have every detail finalized; submit the information currently available, and our team will explain what else is required.
Pricing and Manufacturing
How much does a roll-forming machine cost?
Selected roll-forming machine configurations may begin at approximately $150,000. This is not a guaranteed price. Final pricing depends on the approved specifications, tooling, controls, automation and optional equipment.
How long does it take to manufacture a machine?
Custom machinery may require approximately 10–14 months to manufacture, depending on the machine configuration, engineering requirements, component availability and current production schedule. The estimated lead time for your project will be stated in your individual quotation.
What is included in a machine quote?
Your quotation will identify the proposed machine configuration, major included components, selected optional equipment, pricing, payment requirements, estimated manufacturing schedule and applicable delivery terms. The exact contents may vary according to the project.
Delivery, Operation and Support
Do you ship roll-forming machines nationwide?
Yes. US Rollformers ships machinery to customers throughout the United States. Freight costs, delivery arrangements, unloading responsibilities and placement requirements depend on the equipment, destination and terms stated in the individual quotation.
What must I prepare before the machine arrives?
Site-preparation requirements may include adequate floor space, an appropriate foundation, approved electrical service, unloading and lifting equipment, material inventory and trained personnel. The exact requirements for your machine should be confirmed before delivery.
Do you provide installation and operator training?
Installation, commissioning and operator-training availability depends on the machine and services included in the individual quotation. Your proposal will identify which services are included, available as optional services or handled by the customer.
What warranty and technical support are provided?
Warranty coverage and technical-support terms are provided in the applicable equipment quotation, warranty documentation or purchase agreement. Coverage, exclusions, support procedures and replacement-parts availability may vary according to the machine and included components.
Financing
Is financing available?
Financing may be available to qualified businesses through an independent third-party financing provider. Application approval, rates, payment requirements, documentation, terms and funding decisions are determined by the financing provider.
How do I begin the financing process?
First, request a machine quotation from US Rollformers. After the proposed machine configuration and estimated project amount have been established, complete the application required by the independent financing provider. Financing is subject to application review and approval.
