Overview Points

Complete Diameter Range

Forms ¢80-1600 mm spiral lock-seam ducts covering residential HVAC to industrial ventilation.

Multi-Material Processing

Handles galvanized steel (0.4-1.3mm), stainless steel (0.4-0.8mm), aluminum (0.4-1.3mm).

High-Speed Production

Feeding speed up to 60 m/min maximizes output per shift depending on material thickness.

Quick Die Changes

Cast aluminum forming molds reduce weight for faster diameter changeovers without lifting gear.

Clean Cutting System

PLC-controlled slitting cutter delivers spark-free, noise-free cuts with no finishing required.

Automatic Pipe Handling

Automatic pipe turning after cut reduces manual handling and maintains production flow.

CE Safety Standards

Multiple integrated safety protections including emergency stop and guarding meet CE standards.

Complete Line Setup

Three-unit system: main machine, decoiler, run-out table. Total weight 2900 kg.

Key Features

The BTF-III forms spiral ducts from ¢80 mm up to ¢1600 mm, handling galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. This range covers everything from compact residential HVAC branch ducts to large-diameter industrial ventilation mains, reducing the need for multiple machines on the shop floor.

With a maximum feeding speed of 60 m/min and an integrated decoiler for uninterrupted coil supply, the BTF-III sustains long production runs. PLC-controlled fixed-length cutting triggers automatically, so operators set the desired pipe length and the machine delivers repeatable, accurate output without manual measuring or stopping.

Forming molds are cast from aluminum rather than steel, significantly reducing die weight. Operators can change diameters faster and with less physical effort, shortening downtime between batch runs. NTBOBO maintains over 300 mold sets, supporting custom and standard diameter requests.

The slitting cutter system separates finished duct lengths without sparks, noise, or burr formation. This eliminates the need for post-cut deburring, improves workplace safety, and allows the machine to operate in environments where open sparks are restricted.

The BTF-III incorporates multiple safety protections — emergency stop, guarded forming zones, and controlled automatic turning — built to meet CE requirements. These measures protect operators during high-speed production while keeping cycle times unaffected.

Technical Specifications

The spiral duct machine BTF-III is widely used in air conditioning ducts. And prefabricated pipes for construction works. High standards to meet customer needs, a number of safety protection measures, cast aluminum molds. More automation. Minimize labor intensity and maximize production efficiency. It is the best choice for high standards.
