I. Equipment Overview

The Floor Deck Roll Forming Machine is specialized equipment designed for the cold-roll forming of steel floor decking (also known as profiled steel decking or composite floor decking). Floor decking is a composite structural material made from galvanized steel sheets formed via cold-rolling; the resulting cross-sections feature V-shapes, U-shapes, trapezoids, or wave-like profiles. Utilizing a continuous cold-roll forming process, the machine integrates the entire production workflow—including uncoiling, guided feeding, roll forming, hydraulic cutting, and discharging—to directly produce finished floor decking.
The entire line features fully automated PLC control and a touchscreen HMI (Human-Machine Interface), ensuring a continuous, automated operation from uncoiling to the discharge of finished products. The equipment utilizes a wall-plate style chain drive structure, offering high rigidity, precision, and durability. It is compatible with various metal sheets, such as galvanized steel and Al-Zn coated steel, with thicknesses ranging from 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm. The forming line speed is adjustable between 0 and 15 m/min (excluding cutting time), enabling the production of floor decking with diverse rib heights and pitches. Requiring only one operator, this machine is core equipment for manufacturers of steel structure flooring materials aiming to achieve large-scale, standardized, and intelligent production.
Floor decking products are characterized by their light weight, high strength, high load-bearing capacity, and excellent seismic performance; they are widely used as permanent formwork for composite or concrete floor slabs. During construction, the decking serves as permanent formwork capable of bearing loads; during the service phase, it acts compositely with the concrete, functioning as bottom tensile reinforcement. In high-rise construction, it eliminates the need for traditional steel formwork and reduces the dead load of the floors. By achieving equivalent structural performance while reducing the total amount of steel required, it effectively lowers project costs.
