Bevelling benches for use on- and off-shore

PROTEM specialises in the design and manufacture of portable pipe-end preparation tools such as pipe bevelling, tube cutting and surfacing machines, ranging from three to 3,600mm OD. The

company also designs specific machining and welding equipment according to customer needs. The company’s electric BB machine can be used either on-site or in the

workshop. The heavy duty beveller will bevel, face and counterbore heavy wall pipes individually or simultaneously. It will perform repeatable high quality weld preps on most metal pipes including stainless, duplex, super duplex from 3" to 16" outside diameter (88.9 to 406mm), or from 12" to 24" outside diameter (323.9 to 610mm). The bench beveller can be fixed to the floor and is easily installed. It clamps the outside diameter of the pipe, and can be controlled by one operator. Used with an optional profile tracking device, it will machine oval pipes, leaving a root face of a consistent width, which is required when using orbital welding heads.
