TDFC 2-in-1 HVAC Square Duct Roll Former – HVAC Sheet Metal Duct Machine

What is a TDF Flange Forming Machine used for? 

The TDFC Flange & Cleats Roll Former is a high-precision HVAC duct machine designed to produce standard TDF flanges and cleat profiles for rectangular sheet metal ductwork. The formed TDF flanges are fully compatible with industry-standard corner systems, including Cornermatic, VDCI, VDCI-F, Auto C, and Cornermate C/F.

WHY CHOOSE THE TDFC ROLL-FORMER?

• High-Precision Production: Produces structurally perfect flanges that ensure tight, seamless connections for rectangular ductwork. Fully compatible with automatic corner insertion systems (Cornermatic®, VDCI, Auto C, Cornermate C/F)
• Convertible Flange: Switch effortlessly between rolling standard flat TDF profiles or grooved reinforced flanges. The built-in groove provides a perfect integrated pocket for mastic, sealant, or glue while maximizing joint stiffness.
• Code-Compliant: Forms standard profile dimensions that align perfectly with standard trade construction guidelines and installation codes. Your finished ductwork will easily pass on-site structural and pressure inspections.
• Waste Elimination: Stop throwing money into the scrap bin. The dedicated cleat side features an entrance slitter that automatically crops and rolls leftover sheet metal into perfect, ready-to-use mounting clips (cleats).
• Industrial Build: Weighing in at 2,100 lbs with a powerful 5 HP motor, this machine completely absorbs forming vibrations. It smoothly processes heavy-gauge structural steel up to 18 Gauge in 3 shifts, year after year, without losing calibration.
