Roll Forming Portable Hemming Unit
Roll
Forming Portable Hemming units are essentially roll forming
machines that form 180-degree hemson the edges of a flat
strip of metal. Hems are primarily found on lighter gauge
material to either strengthen the profile
and/or improve safety when handling.
Typically, the hems are
formed before the metal strip is introduced into the roll
forming mill or another forming process. Most hems are small
(to reduce the amount of material required) and can
be formed in four stations
Hemming units can be
configured in numerous ways, such as:
-
Non-driven (pull-through)
-
Driven (with overriding clutch or
continuous drive)
-
Mounted directly onto the existing roll
former base
-
Freestanding, fabricated base
-
Variable product widths – “quick change”
-
Single or double hem
-
Custom applications

Another advantage of integrating a
Roll-Kraft Hemming Unit into a roll forming system is to
save you money. There are numerous occasions when an
existing
Roll Forming Mill does not have enough
forming stations to produce a particular hemmed
cross-section. Instead of purchasing a new mill or mill
extension, a Roll-Kraft Hemming Unit can be an affordable
solution. Also, the portability of these units allows them
to be moved from mill to mill when multiple hemmed profiles
are produced.
