Bending & Folding Machine — Bend, Fold and Tear Testing
A testing machine rather than a fabrication one. It bends and folds steel specimens and tears samples, so plate can be proved before it goes into service. The bed and tooling are built to suit the plate rather than to a fixed working length, and a specimen can be folded right back on itself through 180 degrees.
Every Bending & Folding Machine is engineered to your process at our Pithampur works in India and exported to plants in 22+ countries across five continents. Capacity, control scheme and the voltage and frequency of your own supply are fixed before fabrication, and the machine is trial run at the works — under your inspector’s witness if you ask for it — before it is packed for sea.

Export Supply and Shipping
- Shipping: Containerised where the machine’s envelope allows, otherwise flat rack, open top or break bulk; FOB Nhava Sheva or Mundra, or CIF your port.
- Electrics to destination: Motors, drives and control panel built for your supply — 380, 400, 415 or 440 V at 50 or 60 Hz — and CE marked where required.
- Packing: Sub-assemblies crated on ISPM-15 heat-treated timber, machined faces preserved against sea air, and hydraulic circuits drained and blanked.
- Erection support: Foundation and utility drawings issued at order; a commissioning engineer can be deputed to your plant, or erection supervised remotely.
- Documents and payment: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, material test certificates and bill of lading; quoted in US dollars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What plate sizes can the bending and folding machine test?
The bed and tooling are built to suit your plate size rather than to a fixed working length, so the machine is sized to the specimens you test. Bending force is built to 250 ton.
What tests does the machine perform?
Bend and fold tests on steel specimens, including folding a specimen flat back on itself through 180 degrees, and tear tests on samples.
Is the bending & folding machine customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
Do you export the Bending & Folding Machine, and will it run on our supply voltage?
Yes on both counts. We have shipped to buyers in 22+ countries across five continents, and motors, drives and the control panel are built for your own supply — 380, 400, 415 or 440 V at 50 or 60 Hz. The machine is trial run at our works before packing, under your inspector’s witness if you ask for it.
