CR8 Auto Feed Rollform System

CR8-CF Cleat Former

Ductformer’s Model CR8-CF forms the Drive Cleat Flange on the end of the Duct. This is in a single pass-through operation for use with both L-Shape or Full Wrapper Duct. All our standard Rollformers, the System features an All-Gear Drive, Direct Oil Bath Gear Reduction and Sealed (lube for life) Bearings to provide the smoothest, quietest Rollformer on the market to date.

The Roll Tooling forms the 180° Drive Cleat hems on one edge of the pre-notched sheet metal. As the pre-cut Duct passes through the Model CR8-CF, the System senses the notch to form the Cleat Edges for L-shape and Full Wrapper Duct. The Small Parts Feed for smaller Duct or Fittings comes standard on the Drive Cleat Edge Former. Parts are clamped onto the Roller Guide and fed through the Rollformer.

CR12-TDFC Rollformer

Ductformer’s CR12-TDFC produces the C-Style Transverse Duct Flange Connector direct onto the ends of the duct. This saves time and money by eliminating secondary fastening of Quick Duct and other bolt on applications as a result.

The TDFC Flange application has proven to be the most cost-effective method to construct and install commercial rectangular ductwork. The C-Style Flange provides the extra strength and rigidity to sustain the Air Duct System.

CR14-TDFC Rollformer

Ductformer’s CR14-TDFC produces the F-Style Transverse Duct Flange Connector direct onto the ends of the duct. This saves time and money by eliminating secondary fastening of Quick Duct and other bolt on applications as a result.

The TDFC Flange application has proven to be the most cost-effective method to construct and install commercial rectangular ductwork. The C-Style Flange provides the extra strength and rigidity to sustain the Air Duct System.

Decoiler Systems

Ductformer has developed a totally new concept to make your coil changeovers easier, faster and above all safer. It’s the first Multiple Expanding Mandrel Decoiler System designed specifically for the Duct Fabrication Industry.

This System not only saves you hours of load time, but eliminates the dangers and hazards associated with the handling of awkward Coil Mandrels with heavy shafts and flanges.

The Ductformer Multiple Expanding Mandrel Decoiler System is a very cost justifiable upgrade and can be adapted to any Coil Fed Duct Fabrication Line.

Fully Automatic Wrap Brake 60″ or 72″

Ductformer’s AUTOBRAKE DB-60-( or 72) is a Fully Automatic Wrap Brake System that receives a part and bends either Full Wrap Duct or L-Sections. The DB-60 (or 72) can be installed in any manufacturers Duct Coil Line providing duct fabricators the opportunity to upgrade and modernize existing lines.

The AUTOBRAKE DB-60 incorporates the latest technology offered by name brand industrial component manufacturers including PLC technology using Compact Flash Memory Backup, color Touch Screen Operator Interface Controls, brushless A-C Vector Motion Control Drives for the part feeding, and a Pressure Compensated Hydraulic System.

TDFC Power Brake

The TDFC Power Brake is designed specifically for bending the 90° bends on rectangular duct work. It is an extremely efficient tool to use for bending straight duct joints and fittings for Full Wrapper or L-Shape Duct with TDFC style (F-Style & C-Style) flange connectors.

One Operator can quickly and easily slide a part into the machine and align the notches in an instant on the alignment blade located on the bending line. Other types of duct such as Slip and Drive or raw edge duct can also be folded or bent to 90°. The machine can also fold any angle less than 90°.
