Our IBR Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine is designed to manufacture high-quality IBR profiles from galvanized steel, PPGI, and other coil materials.IBR stands for Inverted Box Rib, a square-fluted roofing and cladding profile with an effective coverage width of 686mm. Originally introduced in South Africa in 1958, IBR has become one of the most widely used metal roofing profiles in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and other African countries. It is commonly applied for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, and residential roofing and wall cladding systems.
Our company’s IBR Roof Roll Forming Machine is primarily used to produce this type of sheet material.
IBR sheets have a square fluted (trapezoidal) design with an effective coverage width of 686mm, a profile height of ~36mm, and stiffening ribs that improve strength and reduce oil-canning (surface distortion).

The whole process is fully automatic. One operator can set length and quantity on the touch screen, and the machine cuts automatically at the exact length. Speed up to 30m/min.
The forming rollers are made from 45# forged steel, CNC-machined and finished with hard chrome plating. With a hardness of HRC 58–62, the rollers offer excellent wear resistance, high forming precision, and a long service life.
The machine is built with a Q345 high-strength steel welded frame and equipped with Ø75 mm precision shafts. The robust construction provides excellent rigidity and stability, even during high-speed continuous production.
The machine is equipped with a Siemens or Delta PLC control system and touchscreen interface. Operators can easily set the required production length and quantity, while automatic control simplifies operation and improves production efficiency.
The cutting system uses hardened Cr12MoV blades to provide clean and precise cutting with minimal burrs. The cutting tolerance can reach ±1.5 mm, helping ensure consistent finished product dimensions.
The machine can be customized to match the electrical standards of different countries and regions, supporting common configurations such as 220V, 380V, and 415V, 50Hz or 60Hz.
We provide a 12-month warranty, lifetime technical support, and a recommended spare parts list to help customers maintain reliable machine performance and minimize downtime.
The same main machine can be configured to produce different profiles by changing the roller tooling sets, providing greater production flexibility and helping reduce equipment investment.
As a direct roll forming machine manufacturer, we control the production process from component selection and machining to assembly and testing. This allows us to provide consistent machine quality, direct technical support, and responsive after-sales service.
