Direct Square Forming Tube Mill: LW120-LW2000
Cold bending profile steel and square/rectangular pipe line is the equipment used for production of open-mouthed and close-mouthed profile steel. With combined type of rollers, and multi points pre-bending forming technology, rollers can be changed quickly with no necessary to remove main axis or stands. Further, with the low loading, it can reduce 80% of rollers cost and 90% of time for changing rollers. All specified open or close mouthed profile steel can be produced with one set of combined rollers. lt is suitable for multi-specification small batch production and meet the market requirement as well.
DFT tube mill is an industrial production line used to manufacture square or rectangular steel pipes directly from steel strips through continuous roll forming, high-frequency welding, sizing, and straightening processes. Compared to traditional round-to-square forming, direct square forming improves precision and material utilization. As a professional square tube mill line supplier, Great Wall offers a complete range of high-performance tube mill equipment for square and rectangular tubes.
The process begins with steel coil uncoiling, followed by leveling and shearing. The strip is then fed into the forming section where rolls progressively shape it into square or rectangular forms. High-frequency induction welding bonds the edges, after which the welded tube undergoes sizing, straightening, cutting, and stacking. Great Wall’s square tube mill lines feature solid-state HF welding, CNC control systems, and automatic adjustment modules to ensure stability and consistency across production runs.
Square and rectangular steel tubes produced by Great Wall square tube mill lines are widely used in:
Steel structure construction (e.g., warehouses, stadiums)
Guardrails and fencing
Mechanical structures and frames
Automotive chassis and components
Solar mounting structures
Agricultural machinery
In-house CNC machining, roll forming, and assembly lines

Direct square forming technology eliminates unnecessary round forming stages, improving dimensional consistency while significantly reducing tooling cost and production downtime.
A direct square tube mill forms square and rectangular steel tubes directly from steel strip without first making round pipes. Compared with traditional methods, it offers better corner accuracy, lower roller costs, and faster changeover.
A direct square tube mill forms square tubes directly, while traditional methods first produce round tubes and then reshape them. A square tube forming machine improves efficiency, precision, and tooling flexibility.
A square tube making machine can produce square and rectangular steel tubes for construction, automotive, furniture, solar structures, and industrial applications.
Our square tube mill is suitable for carbon steel, galvanized steel, mild steel, hot-rolled steel, and cold-rolled steel strips.
Yes. One square pipe making machine can produce different tube sizes through roller adjustment or tooling replacement, improving production flexibility.
A square tube forming machine offers high precision, lower roller investment, stable welding quality, faster size changes, and improved production efficiency.
Yes. We provide installation, commissioning, operator training, and after-sales support for every square tube mill.
Yes. Our direct square tube mill can be customized according to tube size, material, factory layout, and production capacity requirements.
