Understanding Your Portable Roof Panel Machine Before Ordering Metal Roofing Coil

Before initiating your order for metal coil, it is crucial to comprehend the specific details of your machine. This knowledge will assist you in determining the amount of coil your machine can accommodate, the types and gauges of material suitable for producing high-quality roof panels, and how material consumption occurs during the profiling process to ensure you order the correct coil width.

Compatible Materials and Their Usage with Your Portable Rollformer

Let’s review material recommendations and how material consumption occurs during the rollforming process for specific profiles. This information varies based on your machine's specifications and whether you utilize an overhead reel rack or a free-standing decoiler.

What materials and gauges are compatible with your NTM portable rollforming machine? Although specific gauges and thicknesses differ among machines, New Tech Machinery's roof panel machines are designed to work with the following materials with minimal adjustments:

• Painted, Galvalume®, or coated galvanized steel: ranging from 28 ga. to 22 ga.
• Painted aluminum: ranging from .027" to .040"
• Copper: 16 oz. to 20 oz. 3/4 hard

Each portable roof panel machine has specified maximum coil widths based on the profile, determining the finished panel width. Material is consumed as the male and female legs of the panel profile are formed. Generally, 4" to 6" of material is used to create a specific profile, making it essential to be aware of your limitations when ordering coil.

The specified coil widths and finished panel widths for New Tech Machinery’s portable roof panel machines are as follows:

• SSR MultiPro Jr.: 15" to 20" maximum coil width for 10" to 16" finished panels
• SSH MultiPro: 14" to 24" maximum coil width for 10" to 20" finished panels
• SSQ II MultiPro: 15" to 30" maximum coil width for 12" to 24" finished panels

Using coil widths or materials outside of the specified parameters increases the risk of damaging the forming rollers or drive rollers, causing defects in the final panels or potentially voiding warranties if the machine sustains damage due to non-compliant materials.

Refer to your NTM machine manual for recommended material types and thicknesses relevant to your equipment.

Specifications and Towing Requirements of Portable Roof Panel Machines

When determining the appropriate quantity and sizes of metal coil for your portable roof panel machine, it’s vital to have a clear understanding of your machine's dimensions and capacity. Knowing the weight and capacity of accessories can significantly impact your ordering process.

Our company is recognized as the leading custom painted aluminum coil supplier, catering to all your needs. Our experienced staff are ready to assist you in finding the right products.

Depending on the weight and dimensions of your machine with a trailer, not all coil sizes may fit. Understanding the machine's weight on a trailer, the capacity of the overhead reel rack, and the maximum coil diameters is essential for proper ordering.

The trailers designed by New Tech Machinery carry a capacity of 12,000 lbs, with the weights of our machines on trailers as follows:

• SSR MuiltiPro Jr.: 4,451 lbs.
• SSH MultiPro: 5,116 lbs.
• SSQ II MultiPro: 5,586 lbs.

The overhead reel racks (weighing 336 lbs., except on the SSR, which weighs 316 lbs.) are capable of supporting two 3,000 lb. coils, totaling 6,000 lbs when both expandable arbors are loaded. Note that the SSQ II model, when equipped with optional notching, can support a maximum of two 2,700 lb. coils due to the additional weight of the notching unit.

The maximum coil thickness, or outside diameter, dictates how well the rolled coil will fit the overhead reel rack or free-standing decoiler. Maximum coil diameters are set at 32" with the overhead rack and 45" with the free-standing decoiler.

Key Information Before Ordering from Metal Coil Suppliers

When researching and engaging with various metal coil suppliers, it’s important to identify the most suitable partners for your needs and understand the ordering process. Here’s what to consider:

Project Considerations

• What is the scope of your project? Is it residential or commercial?
  • Understanding the full scale of your project, whether for residential or commercial applications, will assist in calculating the necessary roof size, square footage, and the amount of material required, including potential trim pieces.

• What material type and gauge is specified?
  • Some materials will incur higher costs per square foot and may have limited availability based on suppliers or manufacturers. Specific profiles might require installation over designated substrates to comply with manufacturer or testing standards. Knowing the materials compatible with your portable rollforming machine may also limit your project options.

• What profiles will be used for the metal roof? Will engineered profiles be necessary?
  • When selecting and ordering metal coils, it’s crucial to determine the profiles needed and whether engineered standards or non-engineered profiles are required. If your project demands engineered testing, the associated standards will dictate the panel profile and coil/panel widths allowed.

• What color has been determined for the project?
  • Ensure your client has selected a color and ascertain if the coil will require painting. There are numerous color options available for metal roofing, along with various paint types. Consult your coil supplier about the paint type used, its durability under specific weather conditions, and associated warranties offered.

Equipment Considerations

• What coil size can your machine handle? How does it affect transport and lifting? Conversely, if used in a plant, is there accommodation for a decoiler and metal coil stock?
  • Understanding the size of your machine is vital to meeting appropriate and safe towing requirements and the weight capacities of certain roof panel machine accessories like decoilers and reel racks.

• What finished panel widths will be implemented in the project?
  • For portable rollforming, establish the necessary finished panel width post-profile determination. This number differs by profile, dictated by the amount of material consumed creating the panel's male and female legs. This understanding will also aid suppliers in determining if material needs to be slit to a specific width.

• Does the supplier offer quality materials compatible with your NTM machine?
  • When evaluating coil suppliers, inquire about their metal sourcing and paint systems. Substandard coatings may lead to defects during the rollforming process.

When estimating the coil quantity required for the job, consider the profile being formed, material consumption rates, the actual panel width derived from the profile, required coil width for the project, roof coverage in square feet, and the waste factor percentage based on team experience and project complexity.

Consult your coil supplier to ascertain the exact amount of material necessary based on your machine specifications and project requirements. Utilizing manufacturer or supplier's profile cut sheets can assist in understanding coil widths, panel widths, material consumption, or accessing coil estimation calculators.
