Wind tower manufacturing represents one of the largest and fastest-growing applications for heavy-duty plate rolling machines, driven by global renewable energy expansion. A typical onshore wind tower consists of multiple rolled conical sections welded together, with tower heights reaching 100 meters or more and base diameters up to 5 meters requiring plates 20mm to 60mm thick from high-strength S355 steel. Offshore wind foundations demand even larger components, with monopile foundations requiring rolling of plates 2 to 7 inches thick into diameters ranging from 23 to 50 feet. Four-roll plate rolling machines are specifically configured for wind energy applications, featuring extra-long roller lengths up to 4 meters to accommodate wide plates, heavy-duty hydraulic systems capable of processing high-strength steel, and CNC controls with dedicated wind tower programming functions that manage everything from material handling through the rolling process. The ability to produce true conical shapes without secondary processing is essential for tower sections where diameter changes along the height, while consistent roundness from section to section ensures proper fit-up during field erection. RAYMAX’s plate rolling machines are equipped with the latest CNC controls systems, adding automation and accuracy to operations and increasing accuracy and efficiency of production with the least time used in processes. A recent collaboration with a renewable energy firm involved customizing a 4-roll hydraulic roller to form 10mm-thick stainless steel tubes for wind turbine towers, with the machine’s variable-geometry top roll and side supports enabling precise control over ovality, reducing post-bending rework by 80%. Davi, a major global manufacturer, has installed a four-roll plate roller with a capacity of 4,000 by 145 mm at Bladt, Denmark’s largest wind energy fabricating company, demonstrating the scale of equipment required for wind tower manufacturing. RAYMAX rolling machines are manufactured to mitigate the various requirements of the buying market worldwide, with our range of machines addressing various thicknesses and types of materials which demands the diversity of production. The products are widely used in shipbuilding, offshore equipment, wind power nuclear power, aerospace, bridge steel structure, automobile locomotive, non-ferrous metals, pressure vessels, and other fields. Our plate rolling machines are ideal for use in automotive, shipbuilding, power generation, and other industries.
