Plate Rolling Services

Customers in Raleigh and surrounding areas come to Oak City Customs when they need to make flat metal plate curved!

Our plate rolling services can help you keep your metalworking project moving. Here are some key features:

1. Types of Machines:
- We have a 'Three-Roller Plate Roller': It consists of three rolls—two lower rolls and one upper roll. The upper roll applies pressure, while the lower rolls support and guide the material. This configuration is common for producing cylinders and cones.

2. Bending Process:
- The metal plate is fed between the rolls. The upper roll applies downward pressure, and as the rolls turn, the plate is gradually bent into the desired radius.

- The operator can adjust the rolls to achieve different bend angles and shapes.

3. Material Compatibility:
- Plate rolling machines can handle various materials, including steel, aluminum, and other metals, with thicknesses typically ranging up to 3/8".

4. Control Systems:
- Modern plate rolling machines may feature CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems that allow for precise control over the bending process, improving accuracy and repeatability.

Applications:

- Cylindrical Tanks: Used to create tanks for storage and processing in industries like oil and gas, water treatment, and chemicals.

- Conical Structures: Producing conical shapes for various applications, including hoppers and funnels.

- Pipe and Tube Fabrication: Rolling plates into tubes or pipe sections for structural and fluid transport purposes.

- Architectural Elements: Creating curved components for buildings, such as arches and domes.

Benefits:

- Efficiency: Capable of quickly bending large sheets of metal into desired shapes.

- Versatility: Can produce a range of shapes and sizes, accommodating different project requirements.

- Durability: Machines are built to handle heavy materials and repetitive bending tasks, ensuring longevity.

Challenges:

- Material Limitations: The type and thickness of material can affect the machine’s ability to achieve the desired bend without defects.

- Skill Requirements: Operators must be skilled to set up and operate the machine effectively, ensuring quality results.
