Auto Duct Line 2: Transforming Rectangular Duct Production

In today’s competitive HVAC market, efficiency and accuracy are essential for success in duct manufacturing.

Preda Machine’s Auto Duct Line 2 is designed to automate the production of rectangular ducts,

streamlining processes that traditionally relied on manual labor.

This innovative machine enhances production capabilities and sets a new standard in duct manufacturing.

Comprehensive Duct Production Cycle

The Auto Duct Line 2 efficiently performs almost the entire cycle for manufacturing straight sections of rectangular ductwork.

Its capabilities include:

•Leveling: Ensures that sheets of metal are perfectly flat before further processing, which is critical for maintaining quality and accuracy.

•Grooving: Creates grooves that improve the interlock of duct sections and facilitate secure connections.

•Cutting Corners Under the Flange: Precision cutting allows for better fitting and assembly of ducts.

•Cutting: Capable of producing accurate cuts necessary for shaping and sizing ductwork.

While the line covers most steps in producing rectangular ducts, it does not include folding, Pittsburgh lock forming, or TDF flange forming.

These functions can be efficiently integrated with additional machines, such as a Pittsburgh seam closer or a TDF folding machine,

which can be connected at the ends of the line.

Enhancing Speed and Precision

With Auto Duct Line 2, manufacturers can produce ducts that are faster, more economical, and of higher precision than those produced manually.

This increase in efficiency translates into the capability of producing large volumes of high-quality ducts,

allowing businesses to capture a significant portion of the market quickly.

With these advanced capabilities, manual shops find it increasingly difficult to compete.

Key Components of the Duct Line

The Auto Duct Line 2 is equipped with essential components that contribute to its performance:

•Metal Sheet Cradle: Typically consisting of two or four decoilers, this cradle feeds different thicknesses of raw materials suited to varying duct diameters,

allowing for versatility in production.

•Feeding System with Servo Drive Motor: This ensures accurate and efficient feeding of materials, enhancing the overall speed and reliability of the line.

•Beading Rollers: These rollers create stiffener ribs on the duct surface, reinforcing structural integrity and improving airflow.

•Shape and Square Notching: The notching functions allow for precise cuts and fits, ensuring that ductwork assembles seamlessly.

•Hydraulic Cutting Guillotine Station: For clean cuts that are crucial in the production of quality duct sections.

Advanced Control and Performance

The Auto Duct Line 2 is controlled by a CNC PLC system, which utilizes high-precision servo motors with feedback systems.

This advanced control mechanism allows for:

•High Accuracy: Achieving a length deviation of ±0.5mm and diagonal deviation of ±0.8mm, ensuring consistent production quality.

•Max Operating Speed: The line operates at impressive speeds of up to 16 meters per minute, significantly improving production capabilities.

•Multiple Control Modes: Operators can choose between automatic, semi-automatic, manual, or customized modes to suit specific production needs.

Additionally, the line can be configured with one, two, or three decoilers depending on customer requirements,

further enhancing adaptability to various manufacturing demands.

Productivity Potential

With the capabilities of the Auto Duct Line 2, manufacturers can automate the duct production process

and achieve up to 30,000 square meters of air ducts per month.

This level of productivity not only maximizes output but also reduces labor costs and improves overall efficiency.

Preda Machine’s Auto Duct Line 2 is a transformative solution for manufacturers seeking to elevate their duct production processes.

By automating the cycle of rectangular duct fabrication, this system delivers speed, precision,

and economic benefit—empowering businesses to thrive in a competitive market landscape.

Investing in Auto Duct Line 2 positions manufacturers at the forefront of the HVAC industry, setting them apart from traditional manual operations.
