Automated Duct & Coil Line Systems: Quick Overview

Ductformer is a premier manufacturer of high-output automated duct lines and coil line systems. Our sheet metal fabrication machines are engineered for end-to-end efficiency, integrating decoiling, duct beading and edge rolling, notching, and rollformers specifically designed for HVAC duct flange connectors (TDFC/TDC).

System Variety: Offering Fully Automatic Wrap Brake Lines, Inline Duct Lines, and Feed-to-Stop Front-End systems.
Automation Capabilities: Processes 60″ and 72″ wide coils into L-sections, U-sections, or full-wrap ductwork with precision folding.
Industry Compliance: All systems are designed to exceed SMACNA standards for industrial and residential HVAC ductwork.

Automated Duct Coil Line Systems

Ductformer builds fully automated Duct Coil Line Systems at our home facility in St. Louis, MO. First, we focus on making sure every machine is tough and easy to use. Because the HVAC industry moves fast, your shop needs tools that keep up. Our systems help you turn raw metal into finished ducts with very little waste. As a result, you save both time and money on every job.

Upgrade Your Existing Machinery

In addition to new systems, we help you fix up the gear you already have. Specifically, you can retrofit any brand of coil line with Ductformer parts. For example, you might add our high-speed Rollformers or Insulators to your current setup. Furthermore, we offer tools for Tie Rod Hole punching and Wrap Brakes. By doing this, you can modernize your shop without the cost of a brand-new line.

Boost Your Shop’s Total Output

Consequently, you get better results from the tools you already own. Instead of struggling with old tech, you can add our automated shearing and notching units. Moreover, all our parts are made in the USA. This means they are built to last and easy to fix. Since labor costs are rising, automation is the best way to stay ahead. Ultimately, these upgrades help your team work faster and better.

Why Choose Ductformer Technology?

Not only do we build great machines, but we also offer great support. As a result of our modular design, you can grow your line as your business grows. Meanwhile, our team in St. Louis is always ready to help with your tech needs. Therefore, you never have to worry about downtime.

In summary, Ductformer gives you the power to build better ducts. Whether you buy a new line or upgrade an old one, we make the process simple. Therefore, we invite you to call us today. Let’s look at your shop and find the best way to boost your production.

Automated Duct Coil Line FAQ

How does a coil line reduce material waste?

By feeding material directly from large coils rather than individual pre-cut sheets, Automated Coil Lines use precision CNC shearing to eliminate off-cut scrap. This “Cut-To-Length” accuracy ensures that you only use the exact amount of metal required for each duct section.

Can you customize the line layout for small shops?

Absolutely. We design both Inline and U-Shape configurations to maximize throughput in your available floor space. Our compact designs allow for full-scale automation even in shops with limited square footage.

What type of duct connectors are supported?

Ductformer systems are highly versatile, supporting C-Style and F-Style flanges, Slip and Drive, and Raw Edge production. Switching between connector types is handled through a simple user interface on the central control console.

What kind of labor savings can I expect?

An automated coil line typically requires only 1 to 2 operators to produce what would take 5 to 8 workers using manual station-to-station methods. Most shops see an ROI in under 24 months due to these significant labor reductions.
