Lockformer

The Pittsburgh lock revolutionized the HVAC industry in the late 1940’s and is still used today for its strength and ease in assembling ductwork. And for nearly that long, the Lockformer Pittsburgh Lock Roll Formers have set the standard for product quality and performance. Available in six (6) different configurations with varying capacities, configurations, and forming speeds to fit your specific operational needs, all Lockformer Pittsburgh Lock Roll Formers feature industrial motors, high precision needle-type bearings, heavy 3/4″ chassis plate, case-hardened and ground roll shafts, and arc-welded steel stands protected with Lockformer’s top-quality primer and paint finish.

The Lockformer Auto-Guide Power Flanger attachment is available as an optional component for both the Model 20 and Model 24 Lockformer Pittsburgh Lock Roll Formers. This flanging attachment will automatically follow any edge – straight, inner, or outer radii — while forming a 7/32 (outside) flange height and no change over is necessary between Pittsburgh Lock and flanging operations… just turn up a starting flange in the table slot, feed materials into the rolls and let go. Handles radii down to 3-1/4” or 1-3/8” manually at speeds of 16-18 fpm.

Lockformer Transverse Duct Connector (TDC) Roll Formers allow you to produce transverse duct connector (TDC) flanges during the manufacturing process. These are the only transverse duct connector machines on the market certified to comply with SMACNA Duct Construction Standard (DCS) T-25a based on actual laboratory tests across the full range of water gauges. Available in multiple configurations to server your operational needs:

Model TDC V (12 Station)
Model TDC 14 | 2-Plate
Model TDC 14 | 3-Plate
Model TDC V (16 gauge)

Cutting insulation manually is a slow, costly and inexact procedure. The Lockformer Vulcan 1600 Fiberglass and Insulation Foam Waterjet Cutting System automates the insulation cutting and fabrication process for mechanical contractors delivering an unrivaled level of quality and efficiency. The machine will cut up to 4″ fiberglass or 2″ foam insulation at a maximum positioning speed of 3,000 IPM. Whether you require precise insulation shapes for square to rounds, radius elbows or transitions, the Lockformer Vulcan 1600 Waterjet Cutting System can deliver savings of over 95%. With its precision speed and efficiency, the Lockformer Vulcan 1600 Waterjet Cutting System can fabricate insulation fittings for about one-tenth of what it costs to buy them or one-tenth the time it takes to cut them by hand while also reducing your scrap waste by up to 75%.
