OVAL TUBEFORMER BOT-I
Convert round spiral duct into flat-oval ductwork for tight ceiling spaces.
Industrial spiral duct forming machine designed for HVAC fabricators serving commercial and industrial projects. Transforms standard round spiral duct into space-efficient flat-oval profiles, enabling installations in restricted ceiling spaces while reducing material costs by 20% compared to rectangular alternatives.

Key Features
The BOT-I accepts round duct from 330mm up to 1500mm in diameter and reshapes it into flat-oval profiles up to 2550mm wide and 900mm high, covering the majority of commercial and industrial HVAC duct specifications in a single machine.
At equivalent airflow capacity, oval duct requires roughly 20% less sheet metal than rectangular duct. This translates directly into lower raw material costs per meter of installed ductwork, giving fabricators a measurable cost advantage when bidding projects.
The forming process produces a consistent mechanical lock seam that eliminates air leakage without the need for additional sealant or tape. Fewer leak points mean better system pressure performance and reduced callbacks for HVAC contractors.
A dedicated oval pressing machine is included in the production line, converting round spiral tube into the final flat-oval shape in one continuous process. This removes the need for a separate forming station and shortens overall cycle time from coil to finished duct.
At 5.8m × 1.3m × 1.3m, the BOT-I occupies a narrow footprint suited to shops where floor space is already committed. Modular support frames and output tables can be arranged to match material flow in your facility.
Technical Specifications
Where space limitations prevent the use of round spiral duct, Oval tube is the answer. Our oval tube former will satisfy most Ductwork requirements in the Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning industry. It will adjust to a variety of Round Duct sizes between 18”(450mm) and 60”(1500mm) diameter into Flat-Oval Ductwork.
| Better air flow
Lighter weight Easier to install Longer length between joints Very good lock seam, without leakage |
Fewer hangers
Joints easier to seal Often requires less space Aesthetically pleasing Fewer or no joints |
In same acreage, girth of rectangular is about 20% more than that of oval, e.g., rectangular needs more materials and so the cost is higher.
Applications
Commercial HVAC ductwork for buildings with limited ceiling plenum height
Industrial ventilation systems requiring high-capacity airflow in tight spaces
Retrofit and renovation projects where existing structures restrict duct dimensions
Large-scale construction duct fabrication shops serving contractors and installers
Clean room and hospital ventilation where sealed, low-leakage ductwork is specified
Manufacturing facilities producing prefabricated duct sections for export or distribution
