Dallan Machines for Metal Suspended Ceilings

Dallan has been producing machines for metal suspended ceilings since the early 1980s, and it is with these products that the company built its reputation as a global specialist in thin and pre-painted materials.

Metal ceiling profiles serve many purposes, such as concealing ventilation or lighting systems positioned above them, accommodating fire protection systems, and providing significant sound-absorbing functionality, especially in the case of perforated profiles.

Suspended ceiling profiles come in various types: linear ceilings (doghe), baffles, T-bar profiles for 60×60 cm or 60×120 cm tiles, profiles for hidden suspension systems, and the supporting profiles for gypsum panels.

Another popular type is open-cell ceilings, commonly used in airports and supermarkets due to their excellent sound absorption capabilities and ease of integration with fire suppression systems. Let’s take a closer look at some of Dallan’s most innovative machines for metal suspended ceilings, each accompanied by a demonstration video.

Dallan D93: Line for Linear Ceilings (Doghe)

The Dallan D93 is one of the most compact systems for starting suspended ceiling production. Its flexibility allows the production of both the linear panels and the supporting profiles, known as crossbars, thanks to the integrated press.

The Combi system enables easy changes between different profiles, including the production of L-shaped perimeter angle profiles. In the video below, you can see the D93 line producing curved, rectangular, and cubotto-type baffle profiles.

Dallan D82: Line for Open-Cell Ceilings

The Dallan D82 is designed for the production of open-cell ceilings.
This machine includes a decoiler, a multi-die press for performing all lateral operations and hooks, and a 16-station roll forming machine with short pitch.

The profiles are delivered ready to assemble. Dallan offers lines with varying numbers of dies to achieve different production speeds, reaching up to 50 pieces of 600mm profiles per minute.

Machine for Wide Linear Panels (300mm)

This machine is ideal for producing wide linear panels, up to 300mm. It processes both sides of the profile, and the integrated cutting system provides 90° bending on the ends of the profiles.

It can handle materials like aluminum, pre-painted sheet metal, and even perforated materials.

Wide Panel Production Machine (Up to 600mm)

This machine produces linear panels up to 600mm and features a duplex roll forming machine with two heads.

The profiles made by this machine can be used both for suspended ceilings and as facade profiles. In addition to processing both sides of the profile, the final cutting system performs simultaneous cutting and bending of the ends.

The precision roll forming machine is duplex and can work on panels of any width between 200mm and 600mm.

Dallan D51: T-Bar Profile Line

We conclude with a Dallan classic: the Dallan D51 for producing T-bar profiles.

This machine can produce all the profiles needed for a T-bar system at speeds of up to 30 meters per minute. The Main Runner, the Cross T of 600mm (2 feet), and the Cross T of 1200mm (4 feet) are all produced efficiently.
The modular machine design allows future upgrades to double productivity, and it can also be paired with automatic packaging systems.
