What is ridge cap?

A ridge cap is a building material that is installed along the ridge line of a sloped roof. A traditional gabled roof on a home is made up of two sloped sides that meet in the middle. The point where these two sides meet forms the apex of the roof, and is known as the ridge or ridge line. A ridge cap fits over the joint between these two edges to keep rain and snow out of the home. It also helps to finish off the look of the roof by creating a tightly sealed joint along the two sides. Now in the market as far as I know, there are two types: bending type ridge cap and round wave type ridge cap. So for making ridge cap machine there will be two types too. Here are some picture for your reference:

How the metal round ridge cap is made by machine?

Same as other roll forming machines, this machine principle is also roll forming. From decoiler to runout table, it processes by several parts. But this roll forming machine is the special high speed roll forming machine for steel sheet cold-form industries. It can continuous form the steel sheet according to customer’ s requirement, automatically cut to length. This equipment has many advantages, just like high forming speed, low noise, stable transmission, easy operation, good look and so on.Here is one machine of the machine for your reference:
