Your Guide to Rollforming & Folding Innovation
ONROLL: The Mobile Rollformer That Actually Works
CIDAN Machinery just solved the portable rollforming problem.
We’ve seen plenty of “revolutionary” portable rollformers over the years. Most disappoint when rubber meets road. ONROLL is different. Built with direct input from contractors who’ve battled with inferior portable units for years, this machine delivers incredible performance whether you’re on a factory floor or a remote job site.
The Numbers That Matter:
Speed: 28 metres per minute on 0.55mm BMT
Capacity: Dual 1,360kg decoilers
Material range: 0.42mm to 0.95mm mild steel
Warranty: 5 years on stainless steel tooling
Profiles Made Easy

The centre-drive system eliminates the panel twist that plagues traditional portables. No guide rails needed. No constant adjustments. The 10.1” touchscreen works with gloves on and won’t fail in rain (IP66 rated).
Power Flexibility That Makes Sense:
Petrol: 14HP Briggs & Stratton for off-site
Single phase: For workshop use
Three phase: For production runs
Switch power units in under 5 minutes. One machine, every situation covered.
Customer Milestone: Why They Keep Buying CIDAN

Our team in NZ just commissioned the fourth CIDAN unit for one of our long-term customers—with
two more to be installed in the coming weeks.
This unit offers automatic straightening, 5 x knife slitting, a part cut shear with incorporated
label printer that can then be scanned by the downstream folder. Orders are sent to the machine
via our nuIT software solution, that allows your customers to draw and order their flashings
and consumables online via a secure portal embedded within your website.
This end to end solution heavily reduces both paperwork and manual entry of information,
reducing the likelihood of human error during keying operations.

Freight Update: Finally, Some Good News
Shipping costs are finally dropping, substantially.
Recent shipments have shown savings in the thousands of dollars compared to peak rates earlier this year. While we’re cautious about declaring victory just yet, the trend is encouraging and should provide some breathing room for customers planning equipment investments.
Every dollar saved on freight is a dollar that can be invested in the machinery itself, delivering better value for your capital expenditure.
We’ll keep monitoring these costs closely and passing on any savings.
Shutdown Servicing: Book Now
As we move through spring and approach the summer shutdown period (just 10 weeks to go),

Machine Spotlight: 15 Years and Still Running Strong

Sometimes the best testimonials come from the field.
Lance was recently called out to a 15-year-old Thalmann folder that had a small electrical issue
in the cabinet, that turned out to be simply a loose connection.
During post-repair testing, the operator happened to run a 15 by 15 step profile – and the results
speak for themselves. Clean, uniform, and accurate forming that demonstrates what great service
a Thalmann built machine can offer you, providing you look after it.
It’s a reminder that well-maintained equipment doesn’t just last – it continues to deliver the
precision and consistency your business depends on. Regular electrical checks, preventive
maintenance, and prompt attention to small issues can keep machines performing like new for
decades.
Whether your equipment is 15 months or 15 years old, consistent care pays dividends in
reliability, accuracy, and longevity. Small maintenance investments today prevent major
disruptions tomorrow.
