What is AG Panel?
AG Panel (short for “Agricultural Panel”) is one of the most popular exposed fastener metal roofing and siding profiles in the construction industry — particularly dominant across the United States and Canada. It has become the go‑to choice for post‑frame (pole barn) buildings, farm structures, residential metal roofing, and light‑commercial projects because it balances cost, durability, and ease of installation.
The distinguishing feature of this profile is 3/4″ tall major ribs spaced 9″ on‑center, delivering efficient water shedding while maintaining high structural strength. Each panel typically contains 5 major ribs plus 8 stiffening ribs that effectively eliminate oil‑canning (surface distortion).
Our company's AG Panel Roll Forming Machine is primarily used to produce products featuring this specific panel profile.
The rollers of our AG Panel Roll Forming Machine are manufactured from GCr15 bearing steel or forged 45# steel, subjected to precision CNC machining and hard chrome plating (with a hardness of HRC 58–62). The machine frame is welded from high-strength 350H steel and equipped with precision-ground main shafts ranging in diameter from φ75mm to φ80mm.

Optional equipment:
- Manual / hydraulic decoiler (5 tons / 10 tons)
- Automatic stacker (count by pieces)
- Pre‑cut or post‑cut system (pre‑shear available)
- Double‑layer (dual‑deck) configuration — AG panel on upper level, R‑Panel /PBR panel on lower level

- Safety covers and E‑stops
How the AG Panel Roll Forming Line Works
Decoiler → Leveling & Feeding → Roll Forming (16‑22 stations) → PLC Length Setting → Hydraulic/Servo Cutting → Output Table → (Optional Stacker)
The entire process is fully PLC‑controlled. One operator sets panel length and quantity on the touchscreen. The machine automatically forms the AG profile with 3/4″ ribs on 9″ centers, cuts precisely to length, and delivers finished panels ready for packaging or installation.

FAQ
Can you produce both AG Panel and R‑Panel on the same machine?
Yes — with our double‑layer (dual‑deck) machine, you can produce AG panels on one level and R‑Panel / PBR panels on the other. Only one level runs at a time, but two profiles from one footprint
What material thickness does the machine support?
29 gauge, 26 gauge, and 24 gauge — approximately 0.3mm to 0.8mm depending on material type
What power supply is required for USA/Canada?
Standard US power is 480V/60Hz. We customize to your local voltage. 380V/50Hz and 220V/60Hz also available
Can you customize colors and finishes on the panels?
The machine forms the profile — color comes from your coated coil supplier. We can help you understand coil specifications needed for AG panel production.
