LIMA SL-3-W | Downpipe Machine
Full-Electric Precision for Downpipe Forming and Joining
The LIMA SL-3-W is a full-electric round bending and forming machine designed for high-quality downpipe production, delivering consistent diameters, clean seams, and repeatable results across common roofing materials.
Developed for modern roofing workshops, the SL-3-W supports efficient production of round downpipes and pipe sections, with precise control over forming accuracy and finish quality.
Backed by European engineering and distributed locally by Total Rollforming, the SL-3-W is trusted by fabricators producing steel, aluminium, copper, and titanzinc downpipes for residential and commercial applications.
Key Features – LIMA SL-3-W
Precision Round Pipe Forming: Produces consistent round downpipes with clean geometry across standard diameters, suitable for both short runs and repeat production.
Wide Diameter Capability: Capable of forming round pipe diameters from approximately 70 mm up to 200 mm, covering the majority of roofing downpipe requirements.
Material Versatility: Designed for common roofing materials including steel, aluminium, copper, and titanzinc, within typical downpipe thickness ranges.
Fully Electric Drive System: Quiet, energy-efficient operation with smooth, controlled forming for improved finish quality and operator comfort.
Integrated Reinforcement Compatibility: Supports reinforced pipe profiles where required, improving rigidity and long-term performance of finished downpipes.
Workshop-Ready Design: Robust construction, stable frame, and straightforward setup suited to daily production environments.







Safety and Ease of Use
Operator Safety Features
Laser Safety Monitoring: Integrated laser beam safety sensor (6000 model) provides active protection during forming operations, ensuring safer setup and running conditions.
Stable Electric Drive: Full-electric operation removes hydraulic risk points and delivers smoother, more predictable movement throughout the forming cycle.
Protected Forming Zone: Hardened rollers, guided material flow and fixed forming geometry reduce the chance of operator contact with moving components.
Reliable Control Systems
CNC Touchscreen Control: 12.1” touchscreen with up to 200 stored programs (6000 model) enables precise radius, bead and gutter settings with consistent repeatability.
European System Architecture: Built with HI-WIN linear guides and high-tolerance components for stable forming and long-term accuracy.
Flexible Configuration
Multi-Profile Capability: Produces round pipes, multiple gutter styles, reinforcement beads and water channels without re-tooling, supporting high-mix production across ANZ.
Adaptable to Any Workshop: Suitable for small fabrication shops through to large commercial manufacturers needing fast profile changes and reliable output.
