On August 29, 2025, our factory reached another important milestone as we loaded a KR18 roll forming machine into a container, ready for shipment to Costa Rica. This delivery is not just about sending out equipment; it represents the continuing trust our overseas customers place in our technology, engineering expertise, and service support.

The KR18 machine being shipped is a highly efficient, electrically powered roll forming machine equipped with a 5.5 kW main motor. Its design makes it a versatile solution for both in-factory production and on-site installation work. The flexibility to operate within a factory or be transported directly to construction sites and powered by a generator is one of the main reasons why KR18 machines are popular among international builders and contractors.

A Machine Designed for Flexibility

Unlike traditional stationary roll forming machines that are confined to a production line in a factory, the KR18 machine combines mobility with strength. Its portability allows contractors to take the machine directly to a construction project, which reduces transportation costs of finished panels, saves time, and ensures that the panels are produced exactly to the required length without waste.

For projects in countries like Costa Rica, where construction often happens in diverse environments ranging from coastal areas to mountainous regions, the ability to bring the machine directly to the job site provides significant advantages. Panels can be manufactured on demand, reducing storage needs and ensuring precise measurements for each roof.

Technical Highlights

This particular KR18 machine is powered by an electric motor of 5.5 kW, giving it the strength to roll form steel sheets with consistency and precision. While electric power ensures stable performance in a controlled factory environment, the machine can also be connected to a generator, allowing it to function in remote or outdoor locations.

The KR18 profile produced by the machine is widely recognized for its hidden fastener design, which not only provides excellent waterproofing but also enhances the roof’s aesthetic appearance. Panels created by the machine are strong, durable, and suitable for a wide variety of buildings, including warehouses, industrial facilities, and residential housing.

Meeting the Needs of Costa Rican Construction

Costa Rica has seen a growing demand for modern roofing systems, particularly in regions where durability against heavy rains and humid climates is essential. Metal roofing systems like the KR18 are ideal because they provide long service life, low maintenance, and resistance to corrosion when made from quality coated steel.

By adopting the KR18 machine, Costa Rican builders can achieve higher efficiency, minimize material wastage, and ensure that projects are completed faster with greater precision. This is especially useful for large-scale projects where long-length panels are needed.

Commitment to Customer Success

Our engineering team took great care in preparing this machine for shipment. Before loading, the KR18 machine underwent comprehensive testing to ensure that all functions—from feeding and forming to cutting—were operating smoothly. The packaging team also made sure that the equipment was secured safely in the container to prevent any damage during sea transportation.

Beyond the shipment, our company remains committed to supporting our customer in Costa Rica. After the machine arrives, our technical staff will be available to provide guidance on installation, operation, and maintenance, ensuring the customer’s team can quickly put the equipment into production.

A Step Toward Expanding Global Reach

This shipment also highlights the continued expansion of our global presence. Costa Rica is an important market in Central America, and delivering advanced roll forming equipment there strengthens local construction capabilities. It also demonstrates the confidence that international customers have in our machines’ quality and reliability.

As we continue to ship machines worldwide, each delivery represents not only a successful transaction but also a partnership built on trust, innovation, and shared growth.

Today’s shipment of the KR18 machine is another step in that journey. From our factory floor to a construction site in Costa Rica, this equipment will soon begin shaping steel into high-performance roofing panels, contributing to durable buildings and sustainable infrastructure in the region.
