Electromechanical Seam Closing Machine RAS DuctZipper-V 20.10

Electromechanical Seam Closing Machine RAS DuctZipper-V 20.10


RAS DuctZipper-V 20.10 from RAS Reinhardt Maschinenbau GmbH is a high-tech electromechanical machine designed for forming and closing the longitudinal lock seam (Pittsburgh type) on small and medium-sized rectangular ducts. The “V” in the name indicates its vertical (V-shaped) construction, which ensures compactness and ergonomics. Similar to the “L” model, it replaces the traditional 2-3 steps (forming the lock, forming the flange, and closing the seam) with a single rapid pass, providing ideal seam quality and high economic efficiency.

Features and Advantages

Feature Advantage
Vertical V-Shape Convenience and Compactness — due to the V-shaped design, sheets naturally slide toward the joining point under gravity, simplifying loading and saving floor space.
One-Pass Operation Production Speed — significantly increases productivity by performing lock forming and closing in a single pass at a speed of 15 m/min.
Ideal Seam Quality Airtightness — ensures an exceptionally tight joint, which is critical for modern energy efficiency requirements in ventilation systems.
Duct Support System Ergonomics — a specialized support system bears the weight of the duct during the pass, reducing physical strain on the operator.
Improved Guide Rail Precision — the extended guide rail ensures perfect sheet guidance to the forming rolls, preventing cross-sectional deformation.

Standard Equipment

The DuctZipper-V 20.10 comes ready to work with common duct sizes and includes:

  • Robust and Stable Vertical V-Frame.

  • Electromechanical Drive.

  • 15-Axis Roller Set: Featuring forming and intermediate rolls for the Pittsburgh lock.

  • Hardened Steel Rolls: Mounted on high-quality bearings.

  • Shaft Seal System: Extends bearing life by preventing metal particles and zinc dust from penetrating the internal mechanisms.

  • Duct Support System: Typically includes three short and three long support brackets for handling small and medium-sized ducts.

  • Electrical Safety Systems: Including a pull-cord emergency stop switch.

Options

The following options are available for the DuctZipper-V 20.10 to enhance automation and achieve maximum airtightness:

  • SealJet System: Automatic injection of Mez-Bluemastic-Gel sealant directly into the seam during closure. This ensures a high airtightness class (compliant with VDI 6022 and EN 15780) and provides anti-corrosion protection.

  • AutoPilot: An automatic clamping system that ensures reliable 2-point pressure on the workpiece throughout the pass and guarantees a simultaneous start of the seam closure from both ends. AutoPilot models are also available for "Sliding seam / S-seam" types.

  • Duct Return Capability: The support system can be converted into a transport system to return the finished part to the entry zone if repeated operations are required.
