It's no secret for entrepreneurs working in construction that additional roof accessories (skates, wind boards, valleys, ebb, etc.) bring much more profit than simple corrugated board or metal tiles. But the problem often arises - how to get such products quickly, efficiently, and even without special costs? If you have not been in such a situation, then you can not read the article further (although who guarantees that such a problem will not arise tomorrow?). Well, we recommend everyone else to read all the material. After all, he tells how to quickly, simply, efficiently and inexpensively get bent metal profiles even in the conditions of a construction site, which means you will learn how to improve the quality of services and increase profits!

The secret here lies in a device with a simple name: manual bending machine. Simply put, this machine allows, almost as desired, bending steel, copper and aluminum sheets, turning them into finished products of various shapes.

In practice, this looks even clearer. For example, a roof made of corrugated board is ready, it remains to supplement it with drainage systems and finalize it with additional details. And here the bending machine is an irreplaceable assistant. We bring it to the construction site in an ordinary Gazelle, set it on a level place, put the sheet, mark the desired profile configuration, bend, and, please, get the desired product. Just? Yes! Is it reliable? Still would! Sparingly? Of course! And fast.

A logical question arises: where to get a manual bending machine? In principle, many companies make such machines, so there is a great choice here. But not every manual bending machine can boast of such an important combination of characteristics as the products of the Lipetsk Roll Forming Equipment Plant (LZPO). We will tell you about manual bending machines made by LZPO. Let's start with the LGS-26 listogib.

Manual bending machine LGS-

Manual bending machine LGS-26 with a cutting device allows bending and cutting sheet metal with paint and varnish and zinc coating. At the same time, with its help, you can easily make roof elements not only from steel, but also from copper and aluminum. It is important that the manufacturer of the machine guarantees that the LGS-26 owner will get rid of such a problem as damage to the metal surface during bending.

As you can see from the technical characteristics of the machine, it is quite compact. This means that a place for it can easily be found on any construction site, or in a small room. Accordingly, an entrepreneur who once bought a manual sheet bending machine LGS-26 will be relieved of a number of difficulties. The main thing is that he can significantly save his time and money. After all, if earlier the necessary profiles had to be ordered from partners, or produced in our own workshop, then delivered to the construction site, now everything you need can be obtained on the spot. It is enough just to bring a manual bending machine LGS-26 to the desired object and start earning more.

Benefits for buyers of manual bending machine LGS-:

Now let's talk about a more powerful model of manual bending machines LZPO - bending machine LGM-35.

Manual bending machine LGM-

The main “field of activity” for LGM-35 is the production of more complex profiles than on the bending machine LGS-26. With its modest dimensions and affordable price, the bending machine can give the sheet a given profile of almost any shape. At the same time LGM-35 works both with ordinary galvanized metal sheet and painted.

Let's figure out what a manual LGM bending machine gives its owner-

Business idea for any garage: making money with a bending machine

Bending machine or press brake is a device used for cold bending of sheet metal. The main application of sheet bending machines is the production of closed and open profiles, boxes, boxes, cylinders and other structural elements.

During construction or renovation, it is often necessary to use profiled metal sheet products created using a sheet bending machine. As a rule, these products are supposed to be used outdoors, because the main advantages of sheet metal are durability, strength, lightness and aesthetic appearance achieved by galvanizing or painting the metal.

The greatest demand for profiled products arises during the installation and installation of roofs and roofs: additional elements, ridge, canopies, snow protectors, gutter elements and parapets. This is a small list of the possibilities of a conventional mechanical bending machine. In addition, on a press brake you can make - strips, platbands, slopes and street window sills. That is, it is already clear that these products are used when installing windows and doors. And there are many more areas where a strong, reliable and lightweight sheet metal product is required.

The main key advantage is the local individual demand for profiled products. Even identical houses will have a small size run-off when roofing. This means that, for example, the visor elements will differ in their geometric parameters. That is, in any case, they will have to be made individually using a bending machine. And this is a job for an entrepreneur, owner of such a press, working in relative proximity to the point of demand.

The low cost of press brakes can be added to the advantage. Entry-level bending machines cost no more than 30 thousand rubles. But, they also allow us to manufacture a wide range of profiled products. More expensive bending machines differ only in the ability to work with longer workpieces or specific profiles. That is, they can be used to make at a time, for example, an additional element 3 meters long. And on a cheap machine, you will have to make 3 elements by the meter.

The main trump card of this business, in addition to local stable demand, is high profitability. Since manual bending equipment has practically no consumables, therefore, the payback period of the machine begins with the first order.

The overall payback of the entry-level listogib is achieved with the 300th order. Let's consider this in numbers.

The cost of an entry-level bending machine - from 30 thousand rubles.
The minimum cost of bending one workpiece is 100 rubles.
The total production time for one part is no more than 1 hour.
The customer pays for the material separately.

As a result, after 300 orders (300 hours or 37 working 8-hour days) the machine will pay off and will only bring profit to its owner. The calculation does not take into account the cost of renting a room for a machine and buying an initial set of sheet material for blanks. The calculation was made on the condition that only flat-square products will be formed on the bending machine - slopes, extensions, skates, boxes, and the like. That is, a press without using additional attachments.

Business expansion and main source of income - the production of gutters. For this, the bending machine is equipped with a special roller mechanism. Or a separate roller listogib is purchased (from 60 thousand rubles).

The advantage of this line of business is that gutters are assembled from several elements: the gutters themselves, connectors, plugs, and more. Each element for the customer has a certain price - in running meters or pieces. But, all this is made from the same sheet metal, which is bought per square meter. Thus, depending on the complexity of the product profile, the margin, when converted to the cost of the material, reaches 1000%. Therefore, despite the higher price of mechanical bending rolls, their payback is achieved much faster compared to straight bending rolls. And the total profit of a business owner can be increased by an order of magnitude.

Starting your own business on the services of a listogib should not be neglected in one direction or another, since the cost of manufacturing profiled products depends on their complexity. The more complicated the detail, the more expensive.

In general, the press brake business is quite capacious and the demand is local. Consequently, one should not be afraid of high global competition, since a customer with a one-time order will turn to the nearest point of service provision, practically regardless of the price of the final product.

It's good if you already know what exactly you need and can choose the right technique yourself. If there is not enough information, we will be happy to help by telling you about it.

To begin with, there are several varieties of bending machines as such, each of them is designed to perform certain operations. Choosing the type of machine is the first thing to do when choosing. Let's consider each in more detail.

Flanging Machines

The folding machines that you can buy in our online store are manual (Jet RM-22N 754022, Enkor Corvette 520 27520). They are compact in size, easily attached to the desktop with a clamp. Material processing is carried out by two rollers of different diameters and the same or mirrored profile, between which the part is rolled.

These devices are most convenient to use on construction sites, as they are easier to transport due to their low weight. An important role is also played by the fact that the presence of a network at the site for the operation of the machine is not necessary.

Principle of operation. Having securely fixed the equipment on the working table, the operator with the help of one crank handle adjusts the machine, setting the required gap between the rollers. Next, a workpiece is tucked in between them, after which the user begins to turn the second (rear) handle, which sets the working elements in motion.

Expert advice. This machine is most effective for two people. One person turns the handle while the other holds and guides the workpiece.

Choice of technique. To find a good flanging machine, consider the maximum overhang of its console (the distance from the rollers to the edge of the part). It affects the size of the fold that results. For models of equipment in our online store, the value of this characteristic reaches 180 mm. The permissible thickness of the sheet material is also important. You can buy a machine for sheets up to 1.4 mm thick from us.

Plate bending machines

Principle of operation. To process the part, it is fixed on the bed with a special clamping beam, then a bending traverse is launched, which deforms the material. Thanks to the design of the machine, the load is evenly distributed, which in turn ensures uniform bending and high work results.

The history of business knows many examples when exactly a well-chosen equipment brought success to entrepreneurs. For example, the installation of copiers with patterns for lathes, invented by the Russian mechanic Andrey Nartov, increased the productivity of the equipment several times.

“You don't have to be an inventor, like Andrey Konstantinovich Nartov, to make your production competitive,” explains Igor Malyugin, an expert on startups. - It is important to find the demanded commodity item or their line, as well as the equipment with the help of which their efficient production is ensured. Such a pragmatic approach will definitely lead to success. "

The expert advised to pay attention to roofing materials, more precisely to additional elements for them, the release of which, in his opinion, seems to be an interesting business decision.

Roof installation foreman Ivan Kuznetsov told why additional elements are important for roofs: “They represent the necessary details, for example, without a ridge, you will have to, figuratively speaking,“ fence a town ”. If the roof is complex, then you cannot do without the upper and lower valleys. " According to him, they not only provide a high-quality installation of the roof, but also give it a gloss. Therefore, they are sometimes called fittings.

Meanwhile, the demand for additional elements is growing from year to year. Moscow-based architect Irina Goldman argues that roofs have become the most important design solution for the home. “A beautiful and therefore complex roof, with many elements, increases the market price of a house by fifteen percent,” says the architect. “This is especially true for cottage settlements.”

Roofing experts say the demand for roof accessories is growing at an outstripping pace. If in 2021 the market for such a popular roofing material as metal tiles was estimated in physical volumes at 110-115 million m 2, then in 2021 we are talking about 140 million m 2. In other words, the annual growth was estimated on average at the level of 12-15%, while the demand for additional elements every year increased by 30% per year. “This trend will continue for at least another 3-4 years,” Igor Malyugin is convinced. - Therefore, the business idea of producing additional elements for the roof is relevant. The main thing is to correctly determine the sheet bending machines with which they are produced. "

TAPCO

Indeed, numerous posts on the forums, where the topic of roof installation is discussed, are full of this brand. “The problem with other listogibs is defects on the extensions,” writes a member of the forum AK-47. - The point is in the movable pressure hinges. If they do not self-regulate, as is done in TAPCO, then the sheet either "fidgets" or the paint coating is damaged. In the first case, this is a marriage, visible immediately, and in the second, a couple of years later. Already on the roof, when rust appears on the extrusions. "

Businessmen who are actively involved in the production of roofing accessories also note this fact. “It’s foolish to look for cheaper equipment,” says Mikhail Kruglov, an entrepreneur from Tver. - The same listogib TARCO MAX-20 with a length of 2600 mm has a price tag of only 145,000 rubles. They do not seek good from good. "

Payback as math

As a rule, the payback, despite the assurance of consulting experts, is determined approximately - on the basis of certain empirical formulas. However, this approach is quite fair, because no one can 100% predict demand and other factors. In other words, we are talking about probabilistic models. “The range of popular roofing accessories is not that long,” says Ivan Kuznetsov. - It starts from the "starting strip" and ends with a "low tide" (table No. 1). Prices range from 50 rubles to 145 rubles per item. "
