PURLIN ROLLFORMING LINES FOR THE
SOLAR INDUSTRY
TO PRODUCE GROUND AND ROOF MOUNTED SOLAR RACKING SYSTEMS
CZ Purlin Rollforming Equipment for the Solar Industry
With more than 75 years of experience, ASC provides proven rollforming solutions for manufacturers looking for reliable, flexible, and cost-effective CZ purlin rollforming equipment.
ASC’s MARK I/II and TKR-X Purlin Lines deliver exceptional value in semi-automatic and fully automatic purlin rollforming systems. Designed for demanding production environments, these systems combine flexibility, productivity, and precision to support today’s growing solar industry.
One Rollforming System. Multiple Profiles.
Both the MARK I/II and TKR-X Purlin Lines are capable of producing a broad range of cold-formed profiles, including:
- Cee (C) shapes
- Zee (Z) shapes
- U shapes
- Angle shapes
These versatile profiles are widely used in ground-mounted and roof-mounted solar racking systems, solar carports, and custom-designed solar structures.
Whether your operation requires standard profiles or specialized configurations, ASC’s rollforming technology can be configured to meet your production requirements.
Modular Hydraulic Punching for High-Throughput Production
The MARK I/II and TKR-X feature a modular hydraulic punching unit that can be customized to accommodate demanding production requirements.
This modular approach allows manufacturers to configure their punching capabilities around specific applications, helping maximize throughput while maintaining consistent quality and accuracy.
Fast Changeovers. Greater Production Flexibility.
In solar manufacturing, production flexibility is critical. The TKR-X is a fully automated Machine with changeover times of approximately 1 - 2 minutes, allowing manufacturers to move efficiently between different profiles and production requirements.
Fast changeovers can help reduce downtime, improve equipment utilization, and provide the flexibility needed to support a wide range of solar framing applications.
Automatic Stacking with ASC's Patented Purlin Stacker
ASC takes automation a step further with its patented purlin stacker, designed to automatically collect and stack finished purlins as they exit the rollforming line.
Automatic stacking helps reduce manual material handling while creating organized, production-ready bundles. By integrating stacking into the rollforming process, manufacturers can streamline the movement of finished parts and reduce labor associated with downstream handling.
For high-volume solar framing production, automated stacking provides another important step toward a more efficient, consistent, and highly automated manufacturing operation.
Built for the Evolving Solar Industry
As demand for solar installations continues to expand, manufacturers need equipment that can adapt to changing production requirements. ASC’s CZ purlin rollforming systems bring together decades of rollforming experience with modern automation and the flexibility required for solar structure manufacturing.
From standard Cee and Zee profiles to U and Angle shapes, the MARK I/II and TKR-X provide a versatile platform for producing cold-formed components used throughout the solar industry—with automated punching and stacking capabilities available to help streamline the complete production process.
