A perfect end preparation is required when assembling pipes, using an automatic or semi-automatic welding process. For this purpose, Protem manufactures high-speed and heavy-duty pipe facing machines (PFM) to end prep pipe from 6-60" (HSB series) in a minimal time. These PFMs usually clamp the pipe from the inside, but due to the heavy wall thickness and reduced inside diameters often required by some applications, Protem also has a new generation of PFMs – branded OHSB – that can grab the tube from the outside.
