New T-Drill HFT-2000 stainless steel
tee forming unit
THE patented T-Drill tube tee forming
method has been used globally for
almost 40 years.
T-Drill continues to expand its product
range with the introduction of the semi-
automatic HFT-2000 tee forming unit to
be used in conjunction with the powerful
T-Drill T-65 SS collaring machine for
small volume stainless steel manifold
production.
The HFT-2000 SS is a solution for
making tee joints of OD 17–51mm in
main run tubes up to 114mm in just a
couple of minutes. With the HFT-2000
SS five 51mm collars can be produced
in less than ten minutes without moving
the tube.
While giving comparable quality to
commercial tee fittings, profit increases
because the T-Drill tee forming method
eliminates cutting of pipe, two welded
joints and the fitting cost. If tube
polishing is required at the weld points
that is also reduced along with final
inspection costs. Branch pipe can be
connected to formed outlet either by
orbital or manual welding.
