Technology Update
ABBEY Products Division has
announced its most recent
ERW tube and pipe mill
projects. The first project is a
heavy wall 1.5" mill for a large
Southcentral USA plant.
The second project is a
24" combination API and
structural mill for the Chinese
market. Both of these projects
showcase the wide range of
heavy duty ERW mills that
Abbey Products can engineer
and manufacture.
The Abbey Products series
1KH-1.5" mill includes a
squaring section to produce
shapes and can achieve
speeds of 600 fpm. The
key feature of this mill is the
patented CCT Quick Change
System.
The CCT System allows
for completely automated
tube size changes in minutes
without the use of an overhead
crane.
The series 24KH Mill produces
line pipe for oil and gas as well as
structural shapes. Utilising the Abbey
Products patented TBS System allows
this customer to run 8"–24" OD up
to 0.750" wall thickness with minimal
downtime during size changeover. The
TBS System has driven rolls at several
locations in the mill to aid in making
extreme sizes.
Fives Bronx – Abbey Products has
been designing and manufacturing
world class tube and pipe production
equipment since 1901. Their product
innovation combined with their
experience makes Fives Bronx – Abbey
Products the quality choice for ERW
mills no matter what size tube you are
