Purlins
C & Z section purlins
C & Z type purlins
Arkhon Z and C sections are accurately roll-formed from high-strength zinc-coated steel to provide an efficient, lightweight, economical roofing and cladding support system for framed structures.
Arkhon purlin types C & Z are lightweight steel sections that are necessary static elements of metal buildings. Their dimensions vary, depending on the requirements of each structural design. C & Z type cross sections used in metal buildings as purlins, rafters or any other support elements – supporting metal buildings.
Use of metal purlins C & Z can be achieved significant weight reduction on steel constructions, reduction of transportation cost and manufacturing time, while offering economy of raw material and increased strength in relation to weight.H
The light-weight steel sections C & Z are delivered to the customer at the requested dimensions, plain or with holes pre-punched, as derived from the drawings of each structural design.
C section purlin
Arkhon “C” purlins are produced from cold formed steel in order to provide high quality lightweight and economical support system for cladding.
The rafters “C” from arkhon are produced in any length on request, starting from 2000mm. Holes are punched in accordance with the order drawings, with diameter from F14 to F18 with minimum distance between the centers of the holes L = 40mm.
Ζ section purlin
Arkhon “Z” purlins are produced from cold formed steel in order to provide high quality lightweight and economical support system for cladding. The steel purlins “Z” from arkhon are produced in any length on request, starting from 2000mm. Holes are punched in accordance with the order drawings, with diameter from F14 to F18 with minimum distance between the centers of the holes L = 40mm.
C section purlin
The metal purlins “C” of Arkhon can be used in simple and non-overlapping consecutive spans. The connection between them is made by connecting sleeves. The cross-sectional profile “C” can not be used overlapping.
Ζ section purlin
Steel purlins Z of Arkhon can be connected between them either by connecting sleeves or by overlapping consecutive spans.

Handling, unloading and storage purlins type C & Z
C type metal purlins placed in pairs and stacked in rows of 3,4,5 or 6 pieces, while the height of the package may reach up to 20 rows, depending on the size of the purlin and order. The weight of each package does not exceed 3-3.5 tn.
Different packaging is used for Z purlins which are stacked into each other and the only restriction is the weight of the package that should not exceed 3-3.5 tn.
Unloading of the packages can be done both either using crane or forklift.
At the stage of the discharge, is recommended the bundles of purlins to be placed in the ground on (wooden pallets or beams polystyrene) every 2-3 m, depending on package weight, to allow the movement by using belts or a forklift.
If the purlins are not placed immediately into the building, is recommended:
- To be stacked with small slope (5%) to easily dislodged rainwater from their surface, and
- Stock them or store them in such a way as to avoid any damage due to weather conditions.
Environmental Concern:
The company applies environmentally friendly policy with recyclable materials and polyurethane production without harmful materials.

Anyway a tolerance of 15 days is allowed. Moreover, partial deliveries are always allowed.
The Seller will not be held responsible to the Customer for delays, losses, damages, costs or expenses caused by for instance, but not limited to – industrial actions (even if business strikes), lockouts, transport blocks or suspensions, chance, fires, import prohibition s, raw material delays or lack of supply, power source limitations, raw material scarcity or absence, adaptation to law regulation, government measures, right full or not, insurrections, war or similar, natural catastrophes, embargo, and any circumstances beyond reason able control. The Seller will not be held responsible for those events not even if, when they happened, the delivery were already late in respect to the contractual terms. If the causes of the delay last beyond 30 (thirty) days, the Seller will have the option to rescind the contract without this implying the Customer’s right to be refunded for t he loss attributable directly o r not to t he delay. When t he agreed terms of delivery expire, within 15 (fifteen) calendar days from t he reception of t he Product -ready notification, the Customer will have to pick up the ordered Products, or, in case of recipient delivery, the Customer will have to request the shipping.
Once this date is expired, the Products can be stocked outdoors, and this will relieve the Seller of any responsibility for the Product contingent flaws in consequence of the exposition to the weather; any warranty for the Customer will expire and he will be charge d extra movement and stocking cost of 1% of t he Product value per stocking w eek. The sellers has also the right to ship t he Products in a port assigned to the Customer, or to stock them at the expense of the Customer, or, finally, to sell the Products that we re not picked up promptly by the Customer to third parties charging the former for possible payments or greater damage. After 8 (eight) days f rom the issuing of the read y Product notification, the invoice will be issued anyway and the payment terms will transpire. Possible evident flaws or missing Products must be reported at the delivery taking not e on the customer receipt or the warranty will expire.
PACKAGING AND PROTECTION
The Products are provided without packaging. Possible packaging must be requested when issuing the order and they will be charged in the invoice.

The Customer is notified that using wrong or inadequate methods of shipping, transport, stocking, movement or assembly can cause condensation and oxidation phenomena and it can compromise severely – and sometimes permanently – the Product quality.
To ensure the panel and the prepainted ribbed sheet aesthetical integrity, it is essential that those surfaces during manufacturing, movement, transport and assembly are protected with a polyethylene sticky film which must be removed by the Customer before assembling the Products, anyway, within 8 (eight) days from t he Product delivery. If the Customer does not remove the film within the terms mentioned above, this can cause extreme film stickiness removal issues, and sometimes-unexpected interactions with the organic layer below, compromising the Product quality and aesthetic. The Customer asking or accepting ribbed painted sheet or panel without that protection supply, accepts the responsibility and relieves the Seller for any kind of damage.
If the above-mentioned expedient will not be adopted, the possible protest for affirmed sticky film anomalies and/or consequences directly and/or indirectly imputable to the already-mentioned film will not be accepted by the Seller.
