The TDFC TDCF Lock & Cleats Roll-Former is a high-precision industrial machine designed for automated production of HVAC duct components from sheet metal. It is used to form TDF/TDC flanges, locks, and cleats, ensuring accurate geometry and consistent quality of duct connections. The machine significantly simplifies the duct fabrication process and increases workshop productivity.

This is a key machine in the production of rectangular (square) HVAC air ducts, as it provides the main connection system used for assembling duct sections quickly, securely, and with high structural strength.
