Application of RC-1 & RC-2 Resilient Channels

Resilient channels are slim metal framing components designed to significantly improve sound insulation performance in walls and ceilings.

Soundproofing Benefits

• Isolates drywall from framing studs

• Reduces sound transmission and vibration

• Enhances acoustic comfort in residential and commercial buildings

Installation Notes

• Installed perpendicular to framing members

• Pre-punched holes allow easy screw attachment to wood or steel studs

• Nails are not recommended for RC-1 Pro installation

RC-1 vs RC-2

• RC-1: Standard sound isolation for walls and ceilings

• RC-2 (Double-Leg): Ideal for ceilings with multiple gypsum board layers

Both profiles offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for improving sound transmission loss.

Main Components of the Resilient Channel Roll Forming Machine

1. Entry & Feeding System

Ensures smooth and stable feeding of metal strips into the forming section.

2. Roll Forming Stations

A sequence of precision rollers gradually shapes the metal into the required hat channel / omega profile with consistent dimensions.

3. Rotary Punching Unit

Performs high-speed pre-punching without stopping production.

4. Servo Tracking Cutting System

Cuts channels to exact lengths while the machine continues running.

5. PLC Control System

Operators can easily set:

• Channel length

• Quantity

• Production speed

• Batch orders

6. Automatic Output & Packaging

Finished products are conveyed, stacked, and packaged efficiently.

Hat Channel & Omega Profile Description

A hat channel, also known as an omega profile, is a cold-formed steel component widely used in:

• Drywall suspension systems

• Ceiling frameworks

• Wall furring systems

• Industrial support structures

Its distinctive cross-section resembles a hat or “U” shape, offering strength, stability, and easy installation.

Compliance with North American Standards

CEMCO-style RC-1 resilient channels feature:

• 1-1/4” top flange

• 1/2” attachment flange

• 1/2” total furring height

This machine is capable of producing profiles that meet North American construction requirements.
