Machines Designed By and For Sheet Metal Manufacturers
Profiilikeskus rollformers for corrugated and ribbed sheet metal are renowned for their ease of use, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
Built on over a quarter-century of experience in designing and using roll forming machines in their own sheet metal plant, Profiilikeskus machines are engineered with in-depth knowledge of the needs of metal panel manufacturers.
Robust and Profitable Roll Formers
Every component of the rollformers for corrugated and ribbed sheet metal is carefully selected. The control systems are assembled exclusively with components from the most reputable manufacturers, known for their functionality and reliability. Electric motors are chosen to ensure ample power while maintaining optimal energy efficiency.
The touchscreen control system allows easy programming of multiple lengths and quantities to be produced. As a result, a single operator can run a machine. When equipped with an automatic stacking system, one operator can even oversee several machines simultaneously.
To optimize space in the production workshop, the machines’ electrical cabinets are installed underneath the frame and mounted on rails, allowing for easy maintenance and troubleshooting access.
Custom Ribbed Sheet Metal Profiles
Each country has its own preferences when it comes to ribbed metal profiles. That’s why Profiilikeskus always builds ribbed sheet metal machines based on the profile drawing provided by the client. The machine design also considers the customer’s preferences for various material thicknesses, widths, and surface treatments (pre-painted or galvanized steel, aluminum, etc.).
Profiilikeskus has always focused on ensuring the flawless quality of the panels produced by its machines. Therefore, the machines are always long enough to include enough forming stations, preventing deformation of the sheet after profiling.
Decoilers
Profiilikeskus offers various decoiler options based on the coil sizes the customer plans to use in production. Decoilers are designed to automatically adapt to the machine’s production speed.
As with the roll formers, the decoiler design optimizes workshop space. For instance, the hydraulic reservoir is built into one of the decoiler’s support legs.
Decoilers can be equipped with coil-loading carts for easy feeding using a forklift.
Options That Boost Production Efficiency
Profiilikeskus rollformers for corrugated and ribbed sheet metal are available with many optional features.
Automatic stackers create neatly aligned piles of sheet metal at the machine’s output. Depending on your needs, stackers can handle piles of varying lengths and thicknesses. Various configurations are available depending on whether the stacks will be removed by overhead crane, forklift, or automatically transferred via conveyor to a packaging line.
One of the most appreciated options for corrugated and ribbed roll formers is the pre-cutter unit. During production, finished sheets are cut at the machine’s end using a shear shaped to the profile. The pre-cutter option allows the control system to recognize when the final sheet of the current coil is being produced.
The control system will then pause the machine once the necessary amount of material for the last sheet has entered the forming line. The pre-cutter cuts the material, and a pneumatic clamp holds the sheet on the coil side while the final sheet is formed.
This prevents material waste when changing coils, such as when switching to a new color. There will be no leftover sheet inside the machine, and the remaining material can be safely returned to the coil without risking scratches or damage from falling to the floor.

Forming stations are adjustable. The forming rolls and spacers form a solid packet. In addition, this packet is secured at both ends with axle nuts.
Forming rolls are nitrogen-hardened for exceptional durability. Each roller set is designed according to the customer’s profile drawing.
