Danobat equipment in new
threaded pipes factory
INTERNATIONAL company Tubos
Reunidos has a new facility, complete
with Danobat machines for the
manufacture of threaded pipes and
hoses. The project is the result of a joint
venture between Tubos Reunidos and
Marubeni. The premises total around
31,500m2 and include a workshop where
the Danobat machines manufacture the
threaded pipes.
The new production line will
manufacture highly technological pipes,
specifically threaded for drilling and
production of oil and gas wells. Danobat
machines finish the pipes with patented
premium threads that are claimed to
provide superior performance compared
to standard threads.
“They are perfectly suited for work
on sites at 4,000 or 5,000m depth,”
said Carlos San Martín, director of
technology and development of Tubos
Reunidos Industrial. Among other
facilities, the line will
have several horizontal
Danobat TTB lathes for
machining of pipes.
Important features of
this machine include
rigidity, high production
and chip removal ca-
pacities during turning
and threading opera-
tions.
It is provided with
load-unload systems,
positioning channels and solutions with
specific tools for turning pipes.
The line will also be equipped
with Danobat band saws to cut the
pipes, offering a high value-added
comprehensive solution to Tubos
Reunidos.
In the new factory, Danobat machinery
will also produce the necessary special
couplings to join the pipes in the well.
The company will have sophisticated
Danobat lathes to machine the
couplings, in addition to a robotised
load-unload system, obtaining a near
fully automated production system with
minimum operator intervention.
