Excellent Long Span Mobile Roll Forming Machine Power System Selection Guide

Power up the machine and it runs. That is how most equipment works.

But your job site may not have three phase power. Rural areas, remote locations, and temporary sites often have only single phase power or no power at all. The machine arrives. You cannot connect it. Your schedule slips day by day.

Our long span mobile roll forming machine gives you a second option. The 305 and 680 models use electric motors, suitable for fixed workshops with stable three phase power. The 800 model comes with a 40HP diesel engine and a full hydraulic system, running without any external power connection.

This article helps you understand the application scenarios for both power options, so you can choose based on your actual site conditions.

Machine Highlights

• Electric motor drive is proven and reliable, ideal for fixed workshops with stable three phase power.

• Diesel engine solution solves production challenges on job sites without power access.

• Full hydraulic system handles forming, bending, and cutting in one smooth process.

• Diesel drive stays unaffected by power grid voltage fluctuations, delivering more stable operation.

• Detachable bending section makes transport and site relocation easier.

• Siemens PLC control system offers straightforward operation; regular workers can learn it in half a day.
  

How to Choose Between Power Options

Does your site have stable three phase power?

Where power is available, electric motor drive is a proven choice. The 305 and 680 models of the long span mobile roll forming machine use electric motors with a total power of 16.7KW. They run steadily in fixed workshops and are simple to maintain.

If your site has no three phase power, or if you move between sites frequently, the 800 model with its full hydraulic diesel system is more practical. This machine has a 4 cylinder 40HP diesel engine. Forming, bending, and cutting all run on hydraulic power. Fill the tank and start production. No electrical cabinet needed. No waiting for the utility company to run lines.

Two practical facts about the diesel engine. Noise level is about 85 decibels at one meter, roughly the volume of a normal conversation. Fuel consumption is about 5 to 6 liters per hour at full load.

The selection rule is simple. For fixed workshops with stable three phase power, electric drive is the most economical choice. For frequent site changes or remote locations without power, the diesel solution is the only practical option.

Applications

• Large volume roofing panel production in fixed workshops

• Temporary structures and emergency shelters in remote areas

• Agricultural barns and farming facilities

• Storage buildings in mining and remote locations

• Projects requiring frequent site changes

Power System Specifications

Installation and Operator Training

Installation is the first step when the Long Span Mobile Roll Forming Machine arrives.

The electric driven 305 and 680 models of the long span mobile roll forming machine need an electrician for wiring, with proper voltage and phase matching. The electrical standard is 380V/60Hz/three phase. Incorrect connections can damage the control system.

The diesel driven 800 model is simpler to install. No electrician needed. No electrical cabinet. Check the fuel lines, fill the tank, start the engine, and the machine is ready.

Both models come with Siemens PLC controls and an intuitive interface. Regular workers can master basic operations in half a day.

Panel Profiles

Three Model Profiles

Below are typical panel cross sections produced by the 305, 680, and 800 models of the long span mobile roll forming machine. Different effective widths match different spans and applications. You can see the differences in rib height and overlap design.

Other Available Profiles

Beyond these three standard profiles, we also produce many other cross section shapes. Different projects require different rib heights, groove depths, and effective widths.

If you have a specific profile requirement, send us the drawings and we will evaluate the feasibility.
