Heavy duty pipe bevelling machines
For over 20 years PIPE Ltd has been
manufacturing and supplying a range
of portable pipe bevelling machines to
industries across the world, including
chemical, oil, gas and power generation.
The company is constantly evaluating
its products, modifying and improving
based on customer feedback and
requirements. The latest incarnations of
PIPE’s heavy duty pipe bevelling range,
the Supermaxi series, will be unveiled at
this year’s Schweissen & Schneiden fair,
16 to 21 September.
Covering a range of 4" to 24" pipe in
just two machines, the new Supermaxi
series has been designed to suit the
arduous conditions and materials faced
by pipe fabricators.
Designed with a removable centre
shaft for rapid and simple set up in
the pipe, the revised six-point locking
system, together with the new motor
and gearing system, enables the
Supermaxi machines to bevel pipe
of almost any wall thickness, and any
material.
For
high
volume
repetitive work where
consistent,
high
quality machine finish
bevels are required,
the Supermaxi series
of bevelling machines
are suitable for any
job site or workshop
application.
The machines are available with electric,
pneumatic or hydraulic power options
and a range of tooling to suit all styles of
weld preparation and materials.
Visitors to the company’s Schweissen &
Schneiden stand – A244 in Hall 4 – will
be able to see the Supermaxi series,
together with PIPE Ltd’s full range of
pipe and plate working equipment,
including portable pipe bevelling
machines, portable pipe cutting and
bevelling machines, pipe alignment
clamps, pipe stands and pipe handling
equipment, pipe purging equipment,
plate bevelling machines, tube pulling
and expanding equipment, and tube to
tubesheet welding machines.
Among the other new equipment on dis-
play will be the E-Z Fit Red range of pipe
clamps to complement the existing E-Z
Fit range of pipe clamps. Also on show
will be the latest range of inflatable and
silicone purging systems for high purity
welding, together with a comprehensive
range of weld purge oxygen monitors to
suit all exotic pipe welding applications.
Technical staff will be available to discuss
specific requirements.
