This plate rolling equipment, typically featuring four driven rolls, offers precise control over the bending process, allowing for the creation of cylindrical, conical, and other complex shapes from metal plates. A common application is the fabrication of pressure vessels, tanks, and pipes in industries such as shipbuilding, petrochemical, and construction.
The advantage of this four-roll configuration lies in its ability to pre-bend both plate edges, minimizing flat ends and reducing material waste. This increased efficiency and precision translates to lower production costs and higher quality end-products. The development and refinement of this technology over time have significantly improved the capabilities of metal forming, contributing to advancements in various industrial sectors.
