Synergy for turnkey tube
manufacturing
FASPAR, a specialist in coil processing
equipment, and Olimpia 80, an expert
in systems and equipment for welded
tubes, have shared their experience and
core business to ensure the quality of
strip products at the entry of tube mills.
This operation can be underestimated,
but it is important in order to fully exploit
the capacity of the tube mill.
Faspar has been a producer of
turnkey equipment for the processing
of metal coils since 1966. Its main
product range includes slitting lines;
levelling, straightening and cut-to-length
lines (with feeder, rotary shear or flying
shear); surface finishing lines; feeding
and pressing/punching/bending lines;
and tension/stretch levelling lines.
Olimpia 80 Srl specialises in the
engineering and manufacture of
systems and equipment for welded
tubes. Its main product range consists
of complete tube mills and components.
Faspar and Olimpia 80
recently put into operation
one slitting line and two tube
mills, positioned side by side,
in a Ukrainian plant of one of
the world’s largest titanium
producers. The final use of
these titanium tubes is in the
energy field (nuclear) and
heat exchangers.
The Faspar slitting lines
can process grade 1 and 2
coils, VT1-0 up to 10 tons, at
line speeds up to 200m/min,
and in thickness from 0.4 to 2.5mm, in
order to produce strips with width from
35 to 200mm, suitable for the tube mill
lines and final output tube diameter.
Olimpia 80 tube mills lines can process
tubes with outside diameters from 12
to 60.3mm, and thickness from 0.4 to
2.5mm, welded with a TIG system. The
final tube length is from 4 to 26m.
