Stalatube Oy installs new tube laser, bending
machine, sae line and welding robot
The installation of tube laser, bending
machine, saw line and welding robot
at Stalatube’s new facility has created
capacity to supply customers in new
ways.
The company serves end-users in
various industries in cooperation with
its distributors and stockholders,
which allows it to supply expertise and
individual service from the beginning
of a project through to the end.
Instead of 6m-long standard tubes,
customers can order ready-to-
assemble components. The tubes
can be delivered cut-to-length, bent,
welded or with perforations in set
areas. This reduces the amount of
scrap and creates less on-site costs.
The company can handle all kinds of
material, including austenitic, ferritic or
Duplex stainless steels.
Another aspect of value-adding service
is the development and production of
special grades, such as special Duplex
grades or materials like 904L.
The special grades can offer customers
fit-for-purpose materials. The know-how
of working with special grades is gained
by the company’s own R&D department
and cooperation with suppliers and
universities.
Stalatube predicts increasing demand
for special grades, and sees a huge
potential especially for Lean Duplex
grades.
The greatest advantages are the higher
yield strength combined with good
corrosion resistance and higher price
stability. As Lean Duplex grades contain
less nickel, this grade is less dependent
on the volatile nickel price.
The special grades can be used for a
wide range of applications.
Stalatube’s customers mainly use them
for projects in the oil and gas industry
but also for construction, waste water
treatment and desalination plants.
Stalatube’s product diameters range
from 20 x 20mm to 300 x 300mm, and
30 x 20mm to 400 x 200mm, and wall
thickness varies from 1.2 to 12mm.
The company has an international
distribution network covering all
continents and 45 countries.
The head office is in Lahti, Finland, and
sales offices are located in the United
States, the Netherlands and India.
