Portable Rainspout Roll Forming Machine

Portable Downpipe Roll Forming Machine for Rainwater Downpipe, Water Pipe, Drainpipe

1. FRAME CONSTRUCTION
        The frame construction is a weldment of structural steel welded into a rigid frame. The frame is machined to provide a true plane for the assembly of the forming stations.

        Adjustable feet are provided enabling the machine to be set level to within .005 of an inch. This insures the proper working and long life of the precision workmanship built into the machine.

2. FORMING STATIONS
        All the forming rolls coming into contact with the painted surface of the conductor pipe are hard chrome plated to insure long roll life and protect the finish on the pipe.

3. AIR CLUTCH AND BRAKE DRIVE
        The use of an air clutch and brake enables the drive motor to run continuously. This is essential when making short pieces for producing elbows. Elbow blanks can be made automatically at the rate of 1200 pieces per hour.

4. RUNOUT CHANNEL
        A runout channel is provided to receive the completed pipe. The channel is 10' long and has one adjustable leg support.

5. ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
        The machine can be provided with manual controls, semi-automatic controls or fully automatic controls. Length control is through an electronic measuring counter. The operator can program the length into the counter and the number of pieces to be run into the piece counter. When the operator presses the "START" button, the machine will run the pre-programmed length, stop, cut and restart. This cycle will automatically repeat until the "STOP" button is pressed or the pre-programmed number of pieces has been run.

6. CUTTING METHOD AND CRIMPER
        The Grover proprietary exit shear provides several advantages over alternative cut-off methods. It makes a quick, clean cut that is burr-free, and without the flying chips that come from saw cuts.

7. ECONOMICAL
        The exit shear is pneumatically driven and the blade movement is controlled by a cam. The blade goes around the downspout and does not pinch the corners. The Grover exit shear does not generate any scrap of material. Saw chips could foul electrical switches and blowback into the machine and stick to the driving rollers causing indentations in the finished downspout. With the Grover exit shear, these problems are overcome. You end up with a straight, sheared end on your downspout that cannot be achieved by another cutting method.

8. VERSATILE
        The Grover exit shear will also enable you to cut steel downspout. Since steel cannot be sawed except by an extremely slow-moving blade such as band saw, the exit shear is the only practical way to cut short pieces (elbow blanks for example) at your machine. Whether you are running steel or aluminum, the Grover exit shear will give you more efficient production, a cleaner work environment, and a higher quality, more sellable products for year to come.

9. SAFE
        The exit shear makes a lot less noise than a regular saw.
        It is totally enclosed and the operator cannot get cut with the exit shear.
