Machine design for corrugated board production

Its profiled machine tool will help not only to produce good material, for example, for suburban construction, but also to start a profitable business, but you need to know a lot of nuances for this.

This device is quite simple to do at home by yourself, if you understand the principle of its operation.

Given that virtually no construction today does not do without this material, it is widely used in everyday life, and if you make your machine, you can make goods for sale.

Profiled sheeting today is an extremely demanded coating. It is used as a fence, a material for walls and roofs, a cladding material.

In this case, such sheets are relatively low cost and easy to install.

However, it should be understood that strict operational requirements are put forward to the corrugated board, which must be taken into account, especially if the material is made by hand on a self-made machine tool.

Features and material requirements for

There are several varieties of corrugated board, in the manufacture of which different raw materials are used. For example, metal profiled sheeting is very popular.

It is made of steel, using a cold rolling method.

For structures that will be used outdoors, for example for a picket fence, it is possible to make sheets coated additionally with a protective coating - enamel, polymers, fiber.

Each kind of raw material gives its thickness of the sheet.

In the case of steel, we can get a high quality corrugated board, which can also be galvanized to improve strength and resistance to aggressive environments.

If you make sheets completely uncoated, then the material wears out more quickly. Therefore, we can say that not only the machine itself plays a big role, but also raw materials.

It is better to assemble the rolling machine for profiled sheeting indoors, where there is a flat concrete floor.

In this case, the temperature in the room also plays a big role: it must be heated, without sudden changes. The temperature is chosen not less than 4 degrees.

If you plan to continuously produce such material, it is better to immediately prepare and storage facilities for rolls, dry and warm.

Design features and operation principle

To make such a device as a machine by yourself, it is necessary to understand the operating principle of industrial models.

This approach will help to compensate for many shortcomings by replacing parts with more affordable ones.

Any corrugated board is produced by cold rolling smooth sheet material through special nozzles and shafts.

In the end, a corrugated sheet of a given shape is obtained, which can be used as a fence, a fence, and a wall.

Even at home, the machine for the production of corrugated sheets requires the purchase of high quality raw materials. It is bought in rolls for ease of use.

These rolls still need to be deployed and everything depends on the thickness of the raw materials.

If initially you are aiming to make subtle modifications of corrugated board, then problems should not arise - the sheets can be straightened and hands.

And if you want to produce a fairly thick product, then you can not do without a bending machine.

The machine for corrugated board can be made of two types: manual and automated.

The first has a simpler operating principle, it's easy to do by your own hands and the cost of construction will be more affordable.

However, here the supply and adjustment of the shaft is done independently with the help of its own power.

The automatic device to construct houses at home is almost impossible. This is economically unprofitable and extremely difficult.

It is noteworthy that complications arise at the final stages of the rental.

The fact is that the rolls are of a decent length, therefore, in order to obtain finished products that can immediately be used as fences or fences, it is also necessary to provide a method for cutting the sheets.

Special guillotines can help. Such scissors are made of very good sharpened steel, and also equipped with protective boxes and mechanisms for safe operation.

The best option is to buy ready-made blades, as they repeat the shape of the finished sheet.

Also a hand-held machine for the production of corrugated board, as well as automated, can be designed both with the technology of simultaneous profiling and sequential.

In the first case, the corrugation is simultaneously obtained from both sides of the sheet. In the second it is necessary to drive the sheet twice from two sides.

Of course, you can do corrugation only on one surface, but not all the sheets are suitable for such purposes.

For example, for a home fence it is better to do two sides.

There are also machines that work with the method of hot rolling.

But at home they are not used, because it is necessary to first heat the steel and pour it into a mold that almost melts.

Finished sheets are suitable for a fence, but as a sheathing or device of walls - unlikely.

Step-by-step instruction for assembling the machine of the house

The main difference between corrugated board and other metal sheets is corrugated trapezoidal shape. It seems that it is impossible to make such material at home, but it is not so.

The machine for the manufacture of corrugated board, made by hand, can be made quite possibly by sheet bending.

However, it is worthwhile to understand that the home device will not always be able to help in making too thick products.

So, the maximum thickness of galvanized steel, which can be bent, should not exceed 5 millimeters.

On such a device you can do not only sheets for the fence, but skates, cornices and so on.

First of all, the frame of the machine is assembled. It is small in size, and does not require a complete closure of the walls.

It will be enough to make good supports and fix them on the concrete floor with the help of screws. Next, you need to prepare a table, on which the sheet will be fed.

Usually its length should be at least a couple of times the expected length of the product, because there must still be room for receiving the finished sheet. The table can be made of aluminum plywood.

The main thing here is to make a special bar that will allow you to fasten the roll or raw materials. It is tightly drawn to the table with bolts. The manual lever is also fixed in the same way.

It is needed to move the sheets on the table and adjust the feed angle. It is possible to provide such a structure with a regulating spring for greater reliability.

It is worthwhile to understand that some parts need to be bought ready. For example, rolling shafts. Make them at home from improvised means is impossible.

But you can order them - today this is not a problem, and the cost for a home workshop will be very low.

They are fixed on the frame and brought to the lever. The shafts should be fixed with brackets from pieces of metal corners.

This procedure requires pre-assembly. On it, and the first run-in of the corrugated board is carried out. All the bolts do not tighten, and the sheets are served with extreme caution.

It is necessary to be guided by the fact that during work the shelf of the corner and the shelf of the frame must be on the same plane.

If it was possible to give the corrugated board the desired shape, then all the details can be fixed. However, do not forget about safety.

This is especially true if guillotines are installed.

Work should be done very carefully, without haste, even if you are an experienced master, as there is an increased chance of injury.

The mechanism of operation of the device is quite simple, which is why it is possible to make such a machine at home. First we put a sheet of metal on the table. It is fixed with the help of paws or a bar.

The feed angle is then controlled by the lever. At the output it is important that the finished sheet does not fall, but evenly placed along the table. After it can be removed.

You can also cover the corrugated board with different compositions, but for this you need to equip a special table.

At all stages, you need to be dressed in protective clothing, gloves, and use protective goggles.
