Once the roll forming machine is acquired, the operational costs begin to accumulate. These costs include energy consumption, labor, and maintenance. Roll forming machines generally require a significant amount of energy to operate, and businesses must factor in the costs of electricity. Over time, this energy expense can add up, especially in high-volume production environments.
After extrusion, the freshly formed copper pipes undergo an annealing process to relieve internal stresses and enhance ductility. Annealing ovens use controlled heating and cooling cycles, ensuring that the pipes are soft enough for bending and installation. Once annealed, the pipes proceed to the tubing stage, where they are cut to length and undergo quality inspections. Sophisticated laser cutting machines are often utilized for their accuracy and speed, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
