2 In less than one day, our mobile roll former can produce all the framing required for a small house including walls, beams, ceiling and roof panels, even conventional trusses for roofs. A team of 4-6 men can produce, assemble and construct a typical 100 m2, light steel, house structure in less than one week, ready for contractors to complete all external & internal finishes. CRUPE Framing elements are produced with our automated roll formers, which are a range of compact frame production units that require only an electrical power connection. All the frames, beams, floor joists, roof panels and wall frames are produced in exact accordance with the architect s drawings complete with window and door openings, ready for simple assembly, using less steel while minimalising margin of error. CRUPE Framing machines are available for different sized C and/or U Sections ranging from 75mm to 150mm webs and can work with a variety of steel grades and thicknesses. The result is a very strong but lightweight frame that can be designed and manufactured for single and multi-storey structures. The CRUPE SP-Range roll formers are totally mobile and provide easy positioning anywhere in a factory space or at the project site and made ready for production in a matter of hours after being commissioned by our specialist team of Service and Support Engineer/ Technicians. The assemblies are inexpensively secured with air-operated rivet guns using steel rivets readily available at most local markets. The CRUPE MP150-HYBRID roll former is not totally mobile, but can produce C or U sections with 75, 90, 100, 140 or 150mm webs with a very simple change of settings.

3 AUTOMATED FAST-TRACK BUILDING SYSTEM UNLIKE TRADITIONAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES THAT REQUIRE HEAVY TOWER CRANES AND SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT, CRUPE S PORTABLE LIGHTWEIGHT FRAMESETS ENABLE FAR MORE RAPID CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHLY ACCURATE STRUCTURES BY LOCAL TEAMS, AND ALL WITHOUT REQUIRING SPECIALIST SKILLS. KEY BENEFITS: CRUPE Protect, CRUPE Finish and CRUPE Flooring products can be used with our steel frames, and also with any other building frame including traditional timber, bricks and mortar, or bamboo. > Automated Fast Track Building System available in profiles from mm > Uses less steel overall than conventional hot rolled steel construction and with less errors onsite > Rapid Deployment and Mobilization > Focusing-on and utilizing: Local Labour Local Resources Existing building Trade Professionals > Sustainability Steel is 100% recyclable Onsite production reducing the need for transportation Lighter buildings Lower carbon emissions > Low up-front capital Investment > Accurate computerized production based on pre-engineered standard CAD designs > Highly Portable Technology for both Factory & On-Site Production

4 The CRUPEFRAME SP-Range consists of five different machines, each producing a single-sized section: CU75, CU90, CU100, CU140 or CU150. These roll formers are light and robust allowing for mobility to factories and onsite building locations. > SP-Range Light Steel Roll Formers produce cold-formed steel sections of 0.5mm to 2.0mm in thickness > Electrical Spec: 8.5 KW, 3 Phase, HZ / V AC > Average production speed of 300 linear meters per hour (faster speeds are possible with simpler panels without bracing). All rollers are designed with integrated hinges for high-speed changes SP - RANGE > Fully automated and controlled by our proprietary operating system CRUPEFOS, developed by CRUPE with ABB, controlled from the onboard touch screen. This system increases performance, reliability and accuracy of the sections produced. USES: > LOAD BEARING EXTERNAL WALLS PROVIDING SUFFICIENT WALL FRAME CAVITY FOR INSULATION MATERIALS > LOAD BEARING AND NON-LOAD BEARING INTERNAL WALLS FOR ALL FRAMING REQUIREMENTS > MEDIUM TO LONG SPAN FLOORS, ROOFS, JOISTS, TRUSSES, CEILINGS AND ROOF SUPPORTS > INFILL WALLS > Powered by high precision, high accuracy ABB/ Baldor motion-controlled drivers and motors increasing reliability and performance. > Various printer options including Videojet s high-speed continuous printing with section barcoding capability and Matthews industrial printer sets (optional) > Dimensions: 2300mm x 700mm x 1400mm, Weight: 1500kg CLASS-LEADING, ROBUST & MOBILE.

6 HEALTH & SAFETY Our products are amongst the safest in the industy, however general guidelines should always be applied. All powered machinery can be hazardous to the people around them, and although we have designed our machines to be as safe as possible, you must still exercise caution when operating them. We recommend that you refer to our technical manual before operating any CRUPEFrame machinery. For additional documentation and full range of CRUPE products visit: CRUPE INTERNATIONAL P.O. Box Wollerau Switzerland t: f: e: STEEL FAQ Here we list the most frequently asked questions. For more specific enquiries, please contact CRUPE Engineering and Design office in the UK or your local CRUPE office. 1. How does the weight of a light steel framed house compare to that of a traditional timber framed house? The steel frames produced by CRUPE are made from thin gauge, high tensile steel, meaning that the frames are approximately 1/3 of the weight of comparable timber framing. 2. Has Light Steel Framing got a fire rating? What happens in a fire? Neither light steel framed construction nor light timber framed constructions are subject to descrete fire rating. Both require the application of fire resistant linings and when these are applied, both can deliver required degree of fire resistance. 3. Will I be able to renovate my steel frame home? And how do I fix the steel-frame to an existing timber frame when doing a renovation? Yes. Since steel framing allows for larger spans, the house can be designed without interior loadbearing partitions, making it easier for homeowners to do alterations without affecting the rest of the structure. Fixing the steel framing to an existing object can be done using a number of traditional methods. 4. Will vibrations loosen the screws or rivets? No. All steel frames are designed and braced to resist wind and earthquake stresses and the number of fasteners is more than adequate to rigidly hold the house frame together. Furthermore, because the steel is dimensionally stable, including around screws and rivets, they don t work loose over time as can frequently happen with timber. 5. Does lightning affect a steel-framed home more than any other, and is steel framing dangerous when lightning strikes? No. The steel frame offers better protection than other construction materials because it is a good conductor and provides many paths directly to the ground. Steel creates a positive earth and the electrical energy of the lightning is conducted straight to the ground. All steel frames are required to be earthed, thus lessening lightning effects since any discharge is not released destructively within the building as with other materials or framing. 6. Does the steel frame interfere with radio, mobile phone or TV signals? No. Electro magnetic waves pass through the spaces between studs which allow the use of radios, phones, and television sets in a steel frame home without interference. 7. Can I alter a steel-framed home at a later date? Yes. Additions are made in the same way as with any other building system but with the added benefit of original steel structures remaining straight and true regardless of their age, making the job of matching up the addition much easier. 8. Are steel frames noisier than timber? No. Steel home interiors are remarkably quiet. The exterior walls and ceiling are filled with thick insulation, restricting outside noise. Traditionally, wood contracts as it dries and at ambient temperatures it expands, whereas a steel framed home doesn t creak at all humidity variations and temperature changes have considerably less effect.
