Production of front cartridges. Equipment for the production of facade cassettes

Facade cassettes - they are also called metal cassettes - are facing materials that look like completed metal structures, bent at the sides. This type of finishing coating is actively used in ventilated facade systems.

This unique building material is firmly and rigidly mounted on a rivet or self-tapping screw to the surface, which allows to ensure the integrity of the lining throughout the entire operational period. Facade cassettes can be attached in one of two ways: open, when each product is attached with hardware to the supporting frame separately; and hidden when the upper cassette clings to the lower.

Metal structure

Most often produce steel and aluminum facade cassettes. By its design, the product is a box, in the upper part of which there are special holes designed to secure the profile handle. The fastening edge is at the bottom of the cassette.

In addition, the coating in question provides openings for ventilation of the walls, as well as condensate drainage. The manufacture of facade cassettes, depending on the specification, can be carried out in different ways, so they can have different sizes.

At present, piece lining materials are also produced (metal cassettes of square, rectangular or any other arbitrary shape), and linear (in the form of two-, three-meter panels). Often metal sheets are coated with polymers: PVDF, polyester, powder coating.

Advantages and disadvantages

Before talking about what is needed for the production of facade cassettes, we will consider their inherent properties. So, these designs have several advantages, including:

• ease of installation - the cassette facade makes it possible to mask surface irregularities;
• corrosion protection - the applied material with polymer coatings is effectively protected from physical and chemical damage;
• an extensive range of color solutions - through the use of polymers, metal cassettes can be made in any desired color scheme;
• long service life without painting and repair - the coating does not change properties when exposed to atmospheric precipitation and does not fade under the influence of sunlight.

Meanwhile, the facing material in question has its drawbacks. Among them, a relatively high cost should be noted. Compared to other types of finishes, the cassette facade is one of the most expensive. However, due to the lack of wet processes, the use of this technology in most cases is justified.

Using metal cassettes

Such systems are used in residential buildings, administrative and commercial buildings, public facilities for covering ceilings / walls / columns. Often, facade cassettes are used to transform the appearance of shabby, old buildings, in which, after renovation of the facade, the market value can increase several times.

Equipment for the production of facade cassettes

To make such metal structures, modern equipment, including computerized, is required. As a rule, lines of foreign companies are used, since they allow the production of the highest quality products.

In addition, only using such equipment for the production of facade cassettes will it be possible to accurately comply with the required dimensions of the parts, which will subsequently guarantee easy and quick installation of the facing material.The thickness of the initial metal sheet can vary from 0.7 to 1.2 millimeters, with the help of special aggregates it is bent and given the desired shape.

So, what is required for the manufacture of structures?

1. Mechanical or manual guillotine

A foot-operated device designed to dissolve roofing sheet material and cut plastic and non-ferrous metals. It is better to use a mechanical guillotine, which allows you to free the operator's hands for handling the workpiece and facilitate the work of the machine.

The cost of such an aggregate is on average 85 thousand rubles. The package includes two stops with rulers on the sides, a manual feed stop, a retractable front stop (designed for long sheets), an emphasis for cutting at an angle, two front support rods.

2. Bending machine for the production of facade cassettes

Segment bending machine used to bend facing material. It performs its function due to the presence of the main - bending - and pressure beams, each of which is equipped with segments of different widths, and sometimes with knives. Clamping of sheets having different thicknesses is carried out by adjusting the clamping force of the sheet blank. Such a device on average costs from 124 to 200 thousand rubles.

3. Angle cutting machine

A press designed for punching holes in holes and cutting corners. As a rule, it is equipped with both foot and manual drives. On this unit, corners are cut out on the blanks, which are then bent on a sheet bending machine.

To cut a difficult angle and punch a hole in one stroke of the lever, it is necessary to use special cutting dies made individually for each specific product. The cost of such equipment ranges from an average of 24 to 47 thousand rubles.

Among the necessary equipment, you can also include a measuring table used for cutting sheet material.
