Composite Deck Machine

A composite deck machine produces steel decking profiles with embossed or lugged surfaces that mechanically interlock with poured concrete to form composite floor slabs. The embossments create a shear bond between the steel deck and concrete, enabling the two materials to act as a single structural unit. Composite deck profiles—such as 1.5”, 2”, and 3” depth designs—are specified in virtually every multi-story steel-framed building worldwide for their proven structural efficiency and construction speed.

Core advantages:

• Embossed surface pattern for verified concrete shear bond performance

• Multiple depth options: 1.5”, 2”, 3” (38mm, 50mm, 76mm)

• Forming speed 12–20 m/min with heavy-duty roller stations

• Material thickness: 0.8–1.5mm galvanized and black steel

• Profiles compliant with ASTM, BS, and regional composite slab design standards

FAQ: What makes a composite deck different from a form deck? — Composite deck profiles include embossments that create mechanical shear bond with concrete, allowing the steel and concrete to share structural loads; form deck profiles lack these embossments and serve purely as stay-in-place formwork without composite action.
