CR8-SDC Rollformer FAQ

Why is the CR8-SDC described as the quietest in its class?

Ductformer utilizes a Direct Drive Oil Bath Gear Reduction Transmission (U.S. Name Brand). By eliminating standard chains and sprockets, we ensure a precision-running machine that is significantly quieter and smoother than competitors.

How many roll sets can I run at once?

The CR8-SDC is highly versatile, capable of running two (2) inboard roll sets (Standard S & Drive) and two (2) optional outboard roll sets simultaneously, allowing your shop to switch between profiles without changing tooling.

Are the roll tools manufactured in the USA?

Yes. All CR8 tooling options are engineered and produced in our own St. Louis, MO machine shop on state-of-the-art CNC centers. This ensures maximum precision and perfect fitment for your ductwork.

What is the benefit of sealed bearings?

Our Sealed Bearings are designed to be maintenance-free. They are protected from metal dust and shop contamination, which prevents premature wear and eliminates the need for a daily lubrication schedule.
