Product Description
Spiral Duct Machine
The Spiral Duct Machine is a high-efficiency, intelligent sheet metal processing equipment specifically designed for manufacturing round spiral ducts. It is widely used in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), building ventilation, industrial dust removal, and other fields. Utilizing automated coil-forming technology, the machine quickly processes metal coils into high-strength, airtight spiral ducts, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.
Spiral Duct Machine is specialized equipment for manufacturing spiral ducts.
Spiral ducts, also known as spiral lock-seam thin-wall tubes, were initially developed for applications in Western
countries, including ventilation systems for naval vessels and ships. Later, their use expanded to civilian facilities such as
trains, subways, and mines.
By the year 2000, statistics showed that spiral ducts had been adopted in 95.6% of U.S. office buildings, shopping malls, and subway systems. Additionally, 72.5% of residential central air conditioning systems utilized spiral ductwork.
Machine details
Functional Overview
The clamping device is an essential subsystem of the spiral duct machine, designed to securely hold and precisely position the metal coil strip during the continuous forming process. It ensures stable material feeding while maintaining proper alignment for consistent spiral duct production.
-
Precision Grip System: Hydraulically-actuated clamping rollers with adjustable pressure (5-15 bar)
-
Self-centering Mechanism: Automatically aligns coil strip to ±0.2mm tolerance
-
Wear-resistant Components: Hardened steel rollers (HRC 58-62) with replaceable polyurethane liners
-
Anti-slip Design: Diamond-patterned contact surface increases friction coefficient to 0.4-0.6
-
Quick-release Function: Emergency stop and rapid unclamping in <2 seconds
Features
High Production Efficiency
* Feeding speed: 0-35 meters/minute, supporting continuous automated processing with a daily output exceeding 2,000 meters
(depending on specifications).
* Integrated uncoiling, forming, seaming, and cutting, minimizing manual intervention and reducing production costs.
Precision Forming
* Equipped with hydraulic clamping + pneumatic shearing system, ensuring stable material feeding with roundness tolerance ≤ ±1mm.
* Steel molds offer superior wear resistance, and the outer lock seam provides better airtightness than traditional manual ducts.
Multi-Material Compatibility
* Supports galvanized steel (0.5-1.2mm), stainless steel (0.45-1.0mm), and aluminum (0.8-1.2mm), meeting various corrosion/heat resistance requirements.
Flexible Adaptability
* Diameter range: 100-1800mm, with customizable non-standard specifications.
* Optional plasma cutting or roller shear cutting for thick plates or special materials.
Energy-Saving & Eco-Friendly
* Compared to traditional rectangular ducts, spiral ducts reduce air resistance by 20%, significantly saving energy in long-term operation.
* Scrap recovery rate exceeds 90%, complying with green production standards.
