TDFC TDCF Lock & Cleats Roll‑Former – HVAC Sheet Metal Duct Machine
The TDFC TDCF Lock & Cleats Roll‑Former is a high-precision HVAC duct machine for forming flanges (standard TDC and TDF), locks, and cleats on sheet metal ducts. This rollformer produces flanges that perfectly fit standard TDC and TDF profiles, including Cornermatic, VDCI, VDCI-F, Auto C, Cornermate C/F corners.
Why It’s Different
Using a TDFC TDCF flange forming machine automates the process, reducing labor and material costs. Manual flange making requires multiple steps: cutting, smoothing, matching corners, and fastening with screws or welding. This is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
With the TDFC TDCF rollformer, the operator simply notches the sheet, and the machine:
- Forms the flange
- Bends the duct
- Finishes corners automatically with a corner fixing machine
This lock & cleats rollformer significantly saves production time and improves consistency.
Key Features
- Entrance slitter on the cleat side for converting leftover metal into cleats
- Convertible flange: switch between flat or grooved reinforced flanges
- Grooved flanges provide stronger joints and space for sealant or glue
- Fully compatible with TDC and TDF standard flanges
- Durable, efficient, ideal for high-volume HVAC duct fabrication
Benefits
- Saves labor and time compared to manual methods
- Increases precision and consistency
- Supports standard TDC and TDF duct connections
- TDFC TDCF machine for sale with 3-year warranty
