2. Formation of the Pipe Once the paper is prepared, it is wrapped around a mold or core. The wrapping is done in a controlled manner to ensure uniform thickness and adhesion. Some machines employ heat and pressure to bond the layers of paper together, enhancing the integrity and strength of the pipe.
Innovation in roll forming technology has led to the development of more efficient and versatile equipment. Manufacturers are now integrating computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) systems into their machinery. These technologies enable greater precision in the manufacturing process and reduce human error. Additionally, advancements in materials science have allowed manufacturers to work with a wider range of metals, including high-strength steel and lightweight alloys, expanding the applications for roll-formed products.
