Tube B ending & Endforming Technology
Buigstaal Tube Bending Alkmaar, the
Netherlands, is a supplier of tube bending
services for petrochemical projects.
The company has just completed 3 projects
for petrochemical plants in the Middle East.
The three projects were 1,249 pigtails (UNS
N08811 and TP304H) for Technip USA, 2,500
pigtails (UNS N08811 and TP347H) for KTI
USA, and 864 internally finned tubes (353
MA/UNS S35315) for Sandvik, Sweden.
Buigstaal was awarded these projects due
to its in-house quality systems and bending/
tooling is available for squares, solids
and other profiles.
A heavy-duty two-speed gearbox with
improved bend speed accommodates
workpiece centerline bend radii up to 15".
Programmable control with digital display
stores thirty individual programs with
nine separate bend angle and material
springback values in each program.
CML also supply a series of Ercolina angle
rolls that are capable of bending a wide
range of profiles and materials to centerline
radius as small as four times diameter of
the workpiece. CE35 offers capacity to
1½" schedule 40 pipe and 1½" angle iron.
It is designed to operate in the vertical or
horizontal position with a roll speed up to
20ft/min.
Standard universal tooling adjusts easily
to most material profiles. A side mounted
lateral roller system adjusts as necessary to
create a coil effect in the workpiece. There
is also centre roll movement controlled
manually of centre roll with visible scale for
position reference and repeating location.
All drive shafts mounted in conical roller
bearings reduce the number of passes
and increase workpiece consistency.
Single-phase 220v connection makes
this machine ideal for shop and jobsite
fabrication, tube and pipe, ornamental
iron, custom automotive frame and other
applications.

machining capabilities. Work includes
bending of tubes up to 13m, multiple radii
tube bending, and machining of tube ends.
The projects were carried out under
specific material test procedures, with
cutting, beveling, bending, packing and
transportation of the products.
