Pipeline and plant construction equipment PROLINE Pipe Equipment, with headquarters in Alberta, Canada, has been serving the needs of the domestic and international pipeline industry for over 40 years. The company manufactures and supplies a wide variety of specialised equipment for pipeline and plant construction. Proline operates from a 2,518m 2 (27,100ft 2 ) facility that houses a manufacturing shop, consumable products warehouse, equipment and product service department, sales and management offices. The company states that its products are proven in field tests to ensure customers have high performance equipment for pipe bending, handling and finishing. The first internal pneumatic line up clamps and bending mandrels with the ‘No Roll’ or self-centring technology left the Proline manufacturing shop and onto contractors’ jobs decades ago. Products manufactured by Proline include hydraulic pipe bending machines, bending mandrels, pneumatic internal line up clamps, rubber tyre and rolli-cradles, welding inspection bands and ditch pumps. The company can also supply pipeline related items such as tape/primer, welding supplies, plastic pipe supports, manual pipe cutters, and manual/hydraulic external/ internal line up clamps. Proline is a factory authorised sales, service and repair facility for SPY holiday detectors, Metrotech line/fault locators, and H&M bevelling machines.

Bevelling bench

PROTEM’s electric BB machine can be used either on-site or in the workshop and the heavy duty beveller will bevel, face and counterbore heavy wall pipes either individually or simultaneously. It will perform repeatable high quality weld preps on most metal pipes including stainless, duplex and super duplex, from 88.9 to 406mm OD (3" to 16"), or from 323.9 to 610mm OD (12" to 24").

Used with the optional profile tracking device, the bench beveller will machine oval pipes, leaving a root face of a consistent width, which is required when using orbital welding heads.
