Working Principle of Spiral Duct Forming Machine
 

The first step in the working principle of a spiral duct machine is coil strip loading and feeding The operator loads the slit coil onto the mandrel of the machine using a forklift. The machine operator then tightens the coil onto the mandrel to ensure that it is secure and ready for the next step. The coil is then fed into the machine through a feeding rack, which ensures that the strip is fed evenly into the machine.

 

The second step in the working principle of a spiral duct machine is strip leveling and pre-cutting. The leveling and pressing machine ensures that the strip is level and that any imperfections or irregularities are corrected. The strip is then pre-cut to the desired length before it is fed into the forming and welding machine. This step is important to ensure that the final product is of the correct size and shape.

 

The final step in the working principle of a spiral duct machine is forming and welding of spiral ducts. The strip is introduced into the pipe welding machine through the feeding machine, and the machine forms the strip into a spiral bite made of metal strips. The machine then welds the spiral bite together to create a thin-walled pipe that is round, without welding, air leakage, or water leakage. The automatic spiral duct machine cuts the spiral ducts to the desired length and shape using a sawtooth cutting method or plasma cutting, depending on the customer's requirements. The final product is a high-quality, durable spiral duct that can be used in a variety of applications, including HVAC systems and industrial ventilation.
