Advantages

Three - roll: Simple and Cost - effective

The structure of three roll plate rolling machines is relatively simple, so this style of machine can be offered at a lower price than others. They are used for general purpose tasks of rolling plates, especially of small to medium thickness plates.

Four - roll: Enhanced Shape Control and Load - bearing

Shipbuilding and manufacturing large industrial equipment are heavy duty applications that require specialized machines with high load bearing capacity. These machines also aid in the improvement of shape control, especially with complex shapes and tight tolerances which makes four-roll plate rolling machines the best choice.

Yeshun's three-roll and four-roll plate rolling machines serve different applications. Three-roll machines, available in mechanical or hydraulic types, are cost-effective for general bending, handling plates up to 30mm thick. Their simple design enables easy operation but may require additional pre-bending equipment. Four-roll machines, hydraulically driven and often CNC-controlled, offer four rolls (two lower, two upper) for precise pre-bending and continuous curvature control. Capable of bending plates up to 100mm thick, they eliminate the need for separate pre-bending steps, improving efficiency in producing large cylinders and cones for shipbuilding and energy sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which one is more suitable for thin plate rolling, three roll or four roll plate rolling machine?

For thinner plates, there is often a three roll plate rolling machine available that can provide proper adjustment and gentle rolling. However, if additional control is needed, a four roll machine may also be used due to its greater accuracy.
Three roll plate rolling machines are generally cheaper due to their simpler structure. Four roll machines are more expensive because of their more sophisticated design and increasing cost effective components, however, in certain situations, they can prove to be more efficient.
