Hayes Rafted Rollformer

Available in a single-level configuration, Hayes Rafted Rollformers are an efficient way to accommodate a wide range of profiles when floor space is limited.

The Hayes Rafted Rollforming Line utilizes a common base and drive chassis unit, control system and transmission, together with demountable forming rafts. Each has dedicated tooling to manufacture a range of profiles according to customer specifications.

The drive and electrical connections to the raft are fitted with quick-release type couplings to facilitate quick changeover. The raft modules have balanced lifting points and are designed to be lifted on and off the chassis in sections. This gives extra flexibility to add more profile options to the existing raft base in the future.
