FIVESBRONX’s six roll series machine
is very versatile and will process the
full range of API grades pipe as well as
the speciality alloy tube market. The six
roll straighteners can be found in all the
leading seamless and ERW pipe mills
worldwide. This can only be done with
a knowledgeable and fully committed
staff of engineers, designers and project
managers. Its staff are continually
searching for that next innovation that will
make the FivesBronx straighteners better
than before.
FivesBronx has recently completed
a deal for a Series 6CR11 hot
straightener to China’s Wuxi Valin. The
new 258mm hot rolling seamless mill
will produce the tubes 60-244.5mm OD
with 30mm wall and 15m long tubes.
The steel grades are for casing, casing
coupling, tubing coupling, drill tube,
line pipe, high pressure boiler tube,
low and medium pressure boiler tube,
gas cylinder tube, seamless hot-rolled
steel tubes for hydraulic pillar service,
structure tube, tubes for liquid service
and other high alloy tubes. The annual
production will be 500,000 tons. The
machine will process plain and upset
API pipe with temperatures ranging
from ambient to 750°C.
The new installation is coupled with
the patented FivesBronx Computer
Aided Setting System (COMPASS),
utilising the latest in industrial electrical
and electronic technology to provide the
customer with consistently high quality
product and throughput capacity. With
the COMPASS system, machine setup
times for a size change are reduced
to less than three minutes, while its
data collection and storage is vital to
the producer when processing such
sensitive and critical components.
Other design features include
incorporating all of the upset movements
into the top passes of the machine,
eliminating the need for maintenance
access to hydraulic cylinders in the base
of the machine, an area typically flooded
with scale and water.
