FAN COMPONENTS & DUCT CONNECTIONS

Fan Flanging & Duct Connection Machines

Form casing flanges, fan components and duct connectors.

BOBO supplies vertical and horizontal machines for axial fan casing flanges, spinning equipment for fan inlets and front discs, and separate TDC flange-profile and corner-production equipment. Start with the component: a circular casing edge, a spun fan part or a rectangular duct connection requires a different forming route.

FIND YOUR MACHINE

Match the component to the machine.

For cylindrical fan casings, compare the vertical and horizontal flanging models by workpiece dimensions and edge shape. The spinning machine shapes sheet blanks for inlet and front-disc parts. TDC equipment serves a separate task: rolling flange profiles from coil or stamping corner pieces with a feed-and-press line.

PARTS & APPLICATIONS

Components for fan housings and duct joints

Circular fan parts and rectangular duct connections have different mating surfaces and assembly requirements. Use the finished component drawing to identify the forming operation and its tooling.

Axial fan casing flanges

01

Axial fan casing flanges

Vertical and horizontal flanging machines form the edge of a cylindrical fan casing. The casing diameter, height, wall thickness and required flange section guide the tooling and support arrangement.

TDC flange profiles

02

TDC flange profiles

Roll-formed connector lengths are assembled into frames for rectangular duct joints. Match the profile section and cut length to the corner pieces and duct connection design.

Stamped duct corners

03

Stamped duct corners

The coil-fed corner line combines strip straightening, feeding and press work. The corner drawing defines the outline, formed features and mating fit required from the tooling.

Fan inlet and front-disc parts

04

Fan inlet and front-disc parts

The spinning route shapes sheet material progressively over a mold for fan inlet contours and centrifugal-fan front discs. The required cross-section determines the blank, mold and forming sequence.

SELECTION GUIDE

Choose from the finished connection and incoming blank.

A casing flange is formed on an existing cylindrical edge; a TDC profile is produced as a separate connector. Fan inlet and front-disc shapes add another tooling task. Diameter or sheet thickness alone cannot distinguish these processes.

01

Define the connection geometry

Start with the casing edge, spun contour or connector cross-section and its mating part. Include flange height, radii, profile dimensions and any hole pattern so the tooling is based on the complete component.

02

Match the material and incoming blank

Review grade and thickness together with casing or blank size. Distinguish an already-formed cylinder, a sheet blank and coiled strip. These inputs lead to different clamping, feed and forming arrangements.

03

Check handling and the complete sequence

Plan loading, unloading and tool changes as well as forming. For connector production, include cutting, corner manufacture and frame assembly. Compare output over the complete workflow, rather than using a press-stroke or roll-feed rate alone.

Plan the next operations alongside forming. Hole-making, profile-frame assembly, attachment to the duct and sealing each need a defined place in the production sequence.

YOUR FINISHED PART

Start with your product drawing.

Include the material, dimensions and acceptance requirements.

From technical review and testing to delivery and after-sales.

Review the tools against the mating component.

Work with BOBO on the casing edge, spun contour or connector drawing and the material to be formed. Define the required rolls, molds or corner dies, then agree sample checks for fit and geometry. Include blank preparation, loading access, tooling changes and operator training in the project scope.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Before you choose a fan or duct-flange machine

Clarify whether you need a formed casing edge, a spun component or a separate duct connector.

Discuss your application

These are different jobs in this range. Fan flanging equipment works on the edge of a cylindrical casing. The TDC roll former feeds strip through forming rolls and cuts the resulting connector profile. The TDC corner line makes the separate stamped pieces used in the connection.

Compare casing diameter and height, material thickness, flange shape and the way the part is supported and loaded. Machine orientation changes the handling arrangement and floor layout. Select around the intended casing and trial, rather than assuming that one orientation gives better flange quality for every part.

Treat the bolt-circle diameter, hole pattern and hole-making operation as explicit requirements. Forming the casing edge does not by itself provide the mounting holes. The duct-corner press line is a separate product for stamped corner pieces; it is not a bolt-hole unit for circular fan casings.

The roll former decoils material, forms the flange profile and cuts it to length. The cut profiles are then assembled with corners and attached to the duct, followed by the required sealing work. Specify those downstream tasks separately when planning the connection-production workflow.

START WITH A DRAWING OR SAMPLE

Share the component drawing and incoming material.

For fan parts, send a section drawing with casing or blank dimensions, flange or inlet contour, material grade, thickness and tolerances. For duct connectors, include the profile and corner drawings, strip specification and cut lengths. Add batch sizes and required output.
