Corrugated plate production line for Box Culverts: A part of the broader family of Multi Plate Metal Corrugated Culvert Structure Production Line
News 2025-12-20
A corrugated plate production line for Box Culverts is a heavy-duty, automated production system designed to produce deep-corrugated galvanized steel (or aluminum) plates specifically for box culvert structures.
These box culverts are rectangular or square-shaped buried drainage systems assembled on-site by bolting together the corrugated plates, offering a low-profile alternative to traditional round arches or concrete box culverts—ideal for limited headroom applications.
Key Features and Process:
The corrugated structural plate production line for Arches and Bridges processes thick steel coils (typically 3-10mm) to create structural plates with deep corrugations [super corrugation] for superior strength and load distribution.
Main components include in the corrugated bridge structural arch plate manufacturing machine:
- Feeding and leveling ;
- Deep corrugation profiling ;
- Precision punching (for bolt holes) ;
- Curving/bending (to form top, bottom, and side plates) ;
The line is highly automated with PLC controls for accuracy and efficiency.
Feature & Description:
- Material Thickness: Typically ranges from 2.5mm to 9mm or more depending on load requirements ;
- Automation Level : High, often requiring only 1–2 operators to monitor the entire line;
- Product Shapes: Can produce components for single-cell, multi-cell, or bottomless (arch) box culverts;
- Feeding Options : Comp
- Available with both pre-cut plates and continuous steel coils.
Applications and Advantages：
Primary Uses — Highway/railway drainage with shallow cover, stream crossings, stormwater management, short-span buried bridges, and underground conduits where height restrictions apply；
Benefits — Faster and cheaper installation than cast-in-place concrete; excellent hydraulic efficiency; long lifespan (50-100+ years with galvanization); adaptability to poor soils; easy transport (plates nested flat).
This equipment is part of the broader family of Production line for Bolt-A-Plate Buried Metal Bridges and Culverts , commonly offered by specialized manufacturers for large-scale infrastructure projects.
