The TDFC Lock & Cleats Roll‑Former is a cutting-edge HVAC duct fabrication machine designed for high-volume production of sheet metal ducts. Perfect for manufacturers in USA, it automates the creation of TDC and TDF flanges, S-cleats, and drive cleats, delivering consistent, high-quality results with minimal labor.
How It Works
Traditional duct fabrication requires multiple manual steps: cutting, smoothing edges, matching corners, and fastening flanges with screws or welding. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors.
The flang forming machine streamlines the process. By feeding notched sheet metal into the machine, it automatically:
- Forms precise TDC or TDF flanges
- Bends ducts to exact dimensions
- Finishes corners with an integrated corner fixing mechanism
This automation saves time, reduces labor costs, and ensures every duct section meets high-quality standards.
Types of Connections Produced
- TDC/TDF Flanges: Standard flanges for fast, secure duct connections without screws or welding.
- S-Cleat: Removable metal strips wrapping duct edges for reliable joints.
- Drive Cleat: Straight cleats for long joints, providing extra strength and space for sealant.
- Grooved / Reinforced Flanges: Stronger joints with space for adhesives or sealant.
