Benefits of reconditioned machinery
IN 1985, Universal Tube & Rollform
opened its doors with a commitment of
being the number one supplier of used
tube, pipe and rollform machinery in the
world. Located in Perrysburg, Ohio, USA,
the company’s warehouse contains
one of the largest inventories of used
tube mills and rollformers available for
inspection.
When buying a used or reconditioned
machine, lead times are shorter because
the customer does not have to wait for
the machine to be built. The average lead
time for a reconditioned machine is 12 to
14 weeks. Universal Tube & Rollform
has many machines in stock that are in
running condition, ‘ready to go’ without
any updates needed. Customers have
the option to choose what they need and
have it updated to their specifications, or
to buy in ‘as-is’ condition.
Universal Tube & Rollform and
Universal Controls Group work
together to build new drive systems,
die accelerators, drives and other
accessories to retrofit existing
machinery in almost any industrial
environment, and can offer a complete
turnkey system, from initial design to
start-up.
The company specialises in complete
machine reconditioning, from single
machines to complete lines, and can
assess the current condition of machinery
and offer expert advice for upgrades.
Its experienced staff can clean, paint,
recondition and install, and can also
provide staff training. Universal Tube &
Rollform offers a 30-day return privilege
if a machine needs to be repaired or
returned.

Clamshell
pipe cutter
DWT has enlarged the product range
of its pipe cold cutter up to 72". The
clamshell pipe cold cutter has been
developed for high metal removal rate,
a large adjustment range and an easy
setup in-situ. The portable clamshell
pipe cold cutter machine for pipe cutting
and bevelling avoids heat-affected zone
(HAZ) in the pipe cutting process.
Designed for heavy wall pipes in
heavy-duty applications, the high
working speed and quick set up provide
fast operation on-site. The DLW-HD
clamshell cutter is able to operate
safely and precisely in most critical
applications. A rigid frame construction
in combination with high quality steel
pinion gear and bearings provide a
rugged combination for challenging
work.
