Rafted
Available in dual and single level configurations Hayes Rafted rollformers are an efficient way to cater for a large range of profiles when floor space is limited. Rafted rollformers are available in much the same configuration as Hayes single, and dual level rollforming lines; designed to support most industry standard coatings and coil sizes including Galvalume/Zincalume, Coloursteel, Resin coatings and more. The Hayes Rafted Rollforming Line utilizes a common base and drive chassis unit, control system and transmission, together with demountable forming rafts each having dedicated tooling to manufacture a range of profiles according to customer specification. 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.
RAFTED ROLLFORMER STANDARD COMPONENTS
INFEED
- Adjustable infeed guides to suit coil discrepancies and control under/overlap length; positioned via Siko type screw adjustment.
- Built in lubrication system with felt wick applicator that applies lubricant to both sides of the sheet.
- Manually operated hand slitter with D2 hardened steel knives to reduce waste material.
CHASSIS
- Fabricated steel chassis ins segments for ease of handling, painted with a lacquer finish.
- Reference marking and leveling feet for ease of alignment.
- Locating pins make for aligning rafts onto chassis
RAFTS AND PEDESTALS
- Welded steel design with a lacquer paint finish manufactured in segments to allow changeover without heavy lifting equipment.
- Pedestals are a heavy duty welded steel design with all working surfaces precision machined.
- Each pedestal houses heavy duty self-aligning bearings with tooling shaft locking collars.
TOOLING
