Plate Rolling Machines Used

We are a professional manufacturer of plate rolling machines with more than 10 years of experience in the industry. Today, we would like to introduce you to the specific application areas of plate rolling machines:

Rolling machine is a kind of mechanical equipment that uses rollers to bend and shape metal sheets, which can efficiently and accurately process flat plates into curved or cylindrical structures. Its core principle is to cause plastic deformation of metal through the rotation and pressure of the rollers, and the operation is divided into manual, hydraulic and CNC and other types. As the plate rolling machine has the characteristics of strong adaptability and high molding precision, it plays an important role in modern manufacturing industry, and is widely used in many fields such as pressure vessels, construction, shipping, energy and so on.

1,  Pressure Vessel Manufacturing

In the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other industries, pressure vessels are key equipment for storing and transporting gases and liquids, and their cylinders are usually rolled and welded from steel plates. The plate rolling machine can ensure the roundness, straightness and dimensional accuracy of the cylinder, and meet the sealing and safety requirements under high-pressure environment. For example, the manufacture of large vessels such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks, reactors, boiler ladles, etc. relies on the precise molding capability of the plate rolling machine.

2, Construction Steel

In large-scale construction projects, many steel components require specific curvatures or cylindrical structures, such as domes for stadiums, arch girders for bridges, and curved curtain wall support frames for high-rise buildings. Plate rolling machine are able to bend thick steel plates or profiles into precise curves according to the design requirements, ensuring that the components are tightly fitted during installation. In addition, building ventilation ducts, decorative metal fences, etc. are also often processed with plate rolling machine to improve productivity and consistency of appearance.

3,  Marine and Offshore Engineering

Ships' hulls, bulkheads, decks and other components often require a certain degree of curvature to minimize navigational resistance and enhance structural strength. Plate rollers are able to handle high-strength marine steel plates and bend them into shapes that meet hydrodynamic requirements. In the field of offshore engineering, such as offshore oil platforms, floating storage and offloading units (FPSOs) and other large steel structures, coilers are used to fabricate key components such as barrel struts and curved hulls to ensure their stability and durability in harsh marine environments.

4,  Energy Equipment Manufacturing

Energy industries such as wind, nuclear and thermal power rely on a large number of cylindrical structures, such as towers for wind turbines, reactor shells for nuclear power plants and chimneys for thermal power plants. Plate rolling machines are capable of efficiently rolling thick steel plates and ensuring that the formed workpieces meet strict industry standards. In the case of wind turbine towers, for example, which are often several meters in diameter and require extremely high quality roundness and weld seams, the precise forming capability of the plate rolling machine significantly reduces the amount of work required for subsequent calibration and welding.

5,  Transportation and Machinery Manufacturing

In the field of rail transportation, plate rolling machines are used to process curved shells and structural parts of high-speed railways and subway carriages. In the automobile manufacturing industry, some special vehicles (such as tanker trucks, fire trucks) tanks also need plate rolling machine molding. In addition, engineering machinery such as excavators, cranes, part of the structural components, drums, etc. also rely on plate rolling machine manufacturing to ensure their load-bearing capacity and service life.

The application of the plate rolling machine penetrates into almost all industrial fields involving metal molding, and its efficient and accurate processing greatly improves production efficiency and product quality. With the progress of automation technology, the degree of intelligence of the plate rolling machine is increasing, and will play a greater role in the future in high-end manufacturing, new energy and other fields.
