What's Lamina R101 y R72

The R-101 and R-72 profiles are both trapezoidal metal roofing sheets, but they differernt in width, structural strength, and applications. Here’s a detailed comparison:

Key Differences: R-101 vs. R-72 Roofing Profiles

Feature R-101 Profile R-72 Profile
Profile Shape Trapezoidal Trapezoidal
Effective Cover Width 101 cm (1.01 m) 72 cm (0.72 m)
Total Width ~110 cm ~80 cm
Rib Height ~3.5 cm ~2.5 cm
Material Galvanized/Painted Steel Galvanized/Painted Steel
Available Gauges 22, 24, 26, 28 22, 24, 26, 28
Best For Large industrial roofs, warehouses, factories Small roofs, walls, fences
Load Capacity Higher strength, supports heavy loads Lighter, best for medium loads
Installation Covers more area per sheet, fewer overlaps needed Easier to handle due to smaller width

Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose R-101 if you need stronger roofing for large industrial buildings, warehouses, or commercial structures.
  • Choose R-72 if you need a lighter, easy-to-install sheet for smaller roofs, fences, or walls.

How to make R-101 y R72?

Steps of an R-101 y R72 Roll Forming Machine

1.Material Input:

  • Handles galvanized steel, aluminum, or pre-painted steel coils.
  • Thickness range: 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm (varies by model).
  • When do you R101 y R72, just put different coil width, there is handle wheel in the two sides, you can adjust it manually

2.Roll Forming Process:

  • Ensures precise and consistent sheet dimensions.
  • There is total 24 roller stations ro produce R-101 y R72 profile.
  • Speed: 15m/min, also can do high speed 30m/min if you have high demand capacity requirements.

     

3. Hydraulic Cutting System:

  • Includes a hydraulic or mechanical cutting system to cut sheets at the required length.
  • Can be programmed for custom lengths, it is cutting automatically.

   

4.Control System:

  • Operated using a PLC with a touchscreen interface, Siemens brand
  • Setting different lengths and quantities production.
  • Language can be set English and Spanish.
  • Operation table is hanging over to sace space

   

Applications of R-101 y R-72

  • Industrial and commercial roofing.
  • Residential roofing (where a modern metal look is preferred).
  • Warehouse and factory walls.
