If you’re weighing speed, price, and uptime, the 10-15m/min common roller shutter door machine tier is where many shops quietly make their margins. It’s not the flashiest. But it ships fast, costs less, and—assuming decent tooling—turns out straight slats all day. I’ve visited lines in Hebei and Bursa running this exact speed class for years with only routine bearing swaps.
Two flavors dominate: the faster 20–30 m/min “torrist” type for high throughput, and the 10–15 m/min wall-panel “common” type for cost-sensitive buyers. Lately, more SMEs are opting for the latter due to shorter delivery times and easier commissioning. Many customers say the common type hits a sweet spot—less capex shock, quick ROI, parts available off the shelf.
Decoiler → leveling → roll forming (≈12–18 stations) → online punching/embossing (optional) → hydraulic cut-to-length → runout table → bundling. PLC with touchscreen HMI, usually Siemens/Delta; electrical per IEC 60204-1. Materials: galvanized steel (ASTM A653 / EN 10346), 0.6–1.0 mm typical; 1.2 mm with upgraded power. QA uses straightness checks, burr inspection, width/tolerance vs EN 10143, and 8-hour endurance runs.
| Line speed | 10–15 m/min (real-world may vary with punching) |
| Material | GI coil, ASTM A653 / EN 10346, 0.6–1.0 mm (≈1.2 mm optional) |
| Stations | ≈12–18 forming stations; 45# steel shafts; GCr15 rollers, hard-chrome plated |
| Cutting | Hydraulic, Cr12MoV blades, heat-treated |
| Tolerance | Width ±0.5 mm @10 m/min; up to ±0.8 mm @15 m/min |
| Power | Main 7.5–15 kW; hydraulic 3–5.5 kW |
| Certs & Safety | CE (Machinery Directive), ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1 wiring |
The 10-15m/min common roller shutter door machine shines for quick delivery and lower price. It’s less power-hungry and simpler to maintain; chains and gearboxes are accessible, spare bearings are standard sizes. However, if you’re chasing supermarket-scale volumes, the torrist type’s 20–30 m/min might be worth the premium.
| Vendor | Speed class | Lead time | Notes |
| MachineYingYee (Shijiazhuang, Hebei; Room B1106, Zhongliang Plaza) | 10–15 m/min common; 20–30 m/min torrist | Short (often 20–35 days) | Budget-friendly; fast ship; customizable punches |
| Regional Integrator A | 10–12 m/min | Medium | Local service; fewer profile options |
| EU Brand B | 12–18 m/min | Long | Premium build; higher capex |
Options include slat geometry, embossing rollers, online perforation, coil car, servo flying cut, brandable HMI, and motor upgrades. Factory tests often run 500–1,000 m continuous forming; noise stays around 72–78 dB; gearbox temp is logged. Service life? With routine lubrication, 8–10 years is common; rollers last longer if you stick to coated coils and keep burrs in check.
• A Dhaka garment warehouse added a 10-15m/min common roller shutter door machine and hit payback in ≈9 months, mainly by in-housing slats and selling surplus to neighbors.
• A Polish installer swapped to common-type lines for custom colors; surprisingly, the slower speed reduced scrap during seasonal rush.
Look for CE compliance (2006/42/EC), risk assessment per ISO 12100, and electrical safety to IEC 60204-1. Material certs should reference EN 10346 or ASTM A653 with coating class; tolerance checks against EN 10143 keep customers calm.
