Optimising tube production processes ERNST Blissenbach GmbH manufactures tools for the tubing industry that are designed and manufactured in-house and – if the customer so desires – commissioned on-site. Customers benefit from the

company’s ability to use its experience of production needs, not only for improving the tools, but also to optimise tube production processes. That is how the company guarantees top quality inside weld bead removal and failure-free manufacturing processes in the tube welding line. HF longitudinally welded tubes have been in use in various fields of technology since the 1960s. Based on advances in process engineering they are now being used for applications that – for quality reasons – used to call for seamless tubes. In

parallel with the more widespread use of HF longitudinally welded tubes, the demands on quality also increased and require even more fine-tuning of tool parameters. The company will advise customers specifically on what impact the impeder has on weld bead formation and how it influences the scarfing quality and its ability to remove the weld bead or how to improve interaction with the HF-welder to achieve perfect results. In all this Blissenbach always takes individual requirements and conditions into consideration to achieve inside tube scarfing at the highest level.

ID scarfing and bead rolling KENTCorporation has become the worldwide exclusive distributor for Phoenix Tool, offering the company’s full line of ID scarfing and bead rolling systems. The Phoenix design is said to be versatile and easy to adjust and set up. New high-grade materials allow for longer lasting tooling. Kent can offer retrofit tool holders and mandrels to work with almost all manufacturers’ ID mandrels. This can save money, by converting to a more standard and less expensive cutting ring. Kent has also introduced a new Tube Scrap Chopper. Initial designs are for 2" and 3" maximum diameter tube. The heavy duty, robust flywheel design has a separate material feed and multi-sided blades. By chopping scrap tube, users can save valuable floor space. One dumpster can take up to three times the space of chopped scrap. Kent Corporation – USA Fax: +1 440 237 5368
