The Iowa Precision Pro-Ductomatic Front-End Coil Line System has been designed to maximize your return on investment by delivering years of reliable production. Designed for light to heavy duty commercial applications with emphasis on slip and drive ductwork, this system provides you with the fastest feed rate in the industry, the most economical footprint in the world, and the capacity to add on to transform the system into a complete automated duct line.
The Iowa Precision® Pro-Ductomatic® Front End Coil Line was designed, engineered, and built to efficiently and precisely produce finished duct sections. This front end coil line will dramatically reduce your material, labor, and storage costs and will increase overall profits. The controls and processing features are designed, built, and serviced by Iowa Precision, providing total system support.
The Pro-Ductomatic Front-End Coil Line provides the fastest feed rate in the industry and the most economical footprint in the world. Every Pro-Ductomatic Front-End Coil Line has been designed to maximize return on investment by delivering years of reliable production. This system was designed for light to heavy duty commercial applications and allows future additional components to make this system a complete automated duct line. The Pro-Ductomatic is the start of a complete Pro-Fabriduct® Full Coil Line.
Maximized ROI: Fabrication from coil feed material — instead of sheets — improves productivity and throughput while reducing material waste.
E-Z Load Coil Drum Assemblies: Allow for rapid coil changeover without requiring additional lifting devices on your lift truck.
Hands-Free Operation: Hydraulically-powered gear-driven decoiler system and feed-up path on each coil station provides the high-torque precision needed to handle the heaviest coils without slippage. Paired with low-friction UHMW shaft pockets, this system eliminates metal-on-metal wear and reduces maintenance, ensuring smooth, quiet material feeding while allowing for hands off coil selection and feeding by selector switch and push button.
Optimized Material Flow: The integrated multi-grid skate roll system provides continuous, low-friction support across every coil station eliminating sag and “oil-canning”, preventing sheet deformation, and ensuring a perfectly flat feed into the processor.
Powered Multi-Station Coil Selection: Hands-free coil selection and feeding into the system processor allows operator to switch between different gauges or widths in seconds using a simple selector switch, eliminating the need to manually manhandle material into the machine.

The Industry’s Toughest & Most Stable Frames: Structured steel tube construction maintains structural strength and allows accessibility for maintenance, clean up and service.
Engineered with Heavy-Duty Left/Right Synchronization: Stabilizes cutting action and give the lowest moving mass — reduces shock and vibration during the cutting stroke.
Precision Control: Industrial solid-state PLC touch screen operating system with storage recall and state-of-the-art B&R True Machine Tool Control for remote self-diagnostics — manufactured, and serviced by Iowa Precision.
Quiet Efficiency: Operating sound levels remain below 67 DB, utilizing soft-start motors for extended component life.
Tool-Free Shear Head Squaring: Shear head squaring system designed for rapid, tool-free adjustment ensuring every cut is perfectly square for easier downstream assembly..
Full-Width Contact Feed Rolls: Industrial-grade, full-width contact feed rolls ensure slip-free precision for positive, accurate movement and consistent part lengths, even when running at maximum speeds..
Integrated All-in-One Fabrication: Comprehensive “Coil-to-Straight” processing flattens, bends, beads, notches, forms Slip & Drive cleats, and produces the male Pittsburgh or Snap Lock seam. This “start-to-finish” system eliminates the need for multiple standalone machines, reducing material handling and allowing a single operator to produce high-quality ductwork in a fraction of the time.
Versatile Blank Breaking: Automated breaking of blanks into L-sections, U-sections, or fully wrapped duct sections. Whether you need standard wraps or specialty fittings, the system provides the flexibility to switch configurations instantly, increasing your shop’s versatility and output capacity.
