Photovoltaic Bracket Roll Forming Machine — PV Mounting Profile Line

HOPEX-Photovoltaic Bracket

Utility-scale photovoltaic projects consume bracket profiles by the kilometre. This HOPEX photovoltaic bracket roll forming machine answers that demand with continuous output of 41×41, 41×52, 41×62 and 41×72 sections at 10–15 m/min.

The line forms galvanized strip 1.5–2.5 mm thick. Moreover, servo non-stop punching places mounting holes inline, so brackets leave the mill ready for site assembly without a separate drilling stage.

Configured for suppliers feeding PV EPC contractors and mounting system brands on project schedules.

Built for PV Project Volume

• Continuous inline punching — dual-module reverse punching keeps the line running.
• Four PV bracket sections — 41×41, 41×52, 41×62 and 41×72 from one mill.
• 6000 mm lengths — long brackets cut in one piece by tracking circular saw.
• Galvanized input — coil arrives pre-coated, so no post-forming treatment line is required.
• 26 forming passes — Cr12 vacuum-quenched rollers at HRC 58–62.
• 95 KW installed capacity — full line from decoiler to output platform.

Matching Bracket Supply to Project Schedules

PV installation crews work to fixed milestones. Therefore bracket supply cannot depend on batch punching or manual cutting.

On this photovoltaic bracket roll forming machine, coil loads onto a 3-ton hydraulic decoiler, passes a 5-roll leveller, and moves through servo feeding into the punching modules. Then the 26-pass mill forms the section, and a tracking circular saw delivers finished lengths up to 6000 mm.

In addition, two 3 m idler output platforms stage finished brackets for bundling, which keeps the discharge end clear during continuous runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is the bracket punched inline?

Yes. Servo non-stop punching with dual reverse modules forms holes as the strip advances.

Q2. Which PV bracket sections are supported?

41×41, 41×52, 41×62 and 41×72, fed by 135, 157, 177 and 197 mm strip.

Q3. What output can be expected?

10–15 m/min, depending on bracket length and hole quantity.

Q4. What is the maximum single-piece length?

6000 mm, cut by a tracking circular saw.

Q5. Does the machine handle pre-galvanized coil?

Yes, the line is designed for galvanized strip 1.5–2.5 mm thick.

Q6. What is the footprint?

26 × 3 × 2 m, with approximately 95 KW installed capacity.
