Portable tube and
pipe end preparation
FOR more than 35 years PROTEM has
been recognised as a leading
manufacturer of portable tube and pipe
end preparation machines.
All the machines entering the
PROTEM range of products are
designed by experienced professionals
in machining, themselves having worked
on site and aware of the importance of
having reliable and robust equipment
that is lightweight and easy to use and
allows users to achieve a perfect weld
end preparation.
Since the cutting process is a cold
cutting one, heat affected zones are
completely eliminated. The machines
can be used in all positions, including
over head. They can be remote
controlled for works under hazardous
conditions, pneumatically, hydraulically
or electrically driven, equipped with
several devices enabled to cut and bevel
in one simultaneous operation, to square,
to counter bore, to correct the shape of
tubes and pipes with copying carriages.
PROTEM offers a rental service for
occasional needs and a total flexibility
for specific needs: some ten thousands
of PROTEM portable machining
equipment has been used worldwide
and hundreds of special machines were
successfully designed over the past 35
years.
PROTEM owns the leading position
on the market of energy generation:
nuclear and conventional power
stations, of the oil and gas, ship-
building, defence, aerospace, food
processing, piping systems processing,
chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical
industries for ID or ODmounted bevelling
tools: Machining diameters from 8 to
3mm and for wall thicknesses from 0.5 to
100mm and over.
The orbital OD severing and bevelling
machines are used for diameters up to
82" and over on request.
Surfacing machines are used for
valves and flanges diameters up to 200".
Elbow bevelling machines are also for
elbows with no straight length.
The SE25 is the essential complement
to orbital welding machines. It allows a
perfect preparation of the tubes for the
manual or automatic welding operations
– very light weight, portable and versatile
– for thin tubes, fittings, micro fittings
and elbows.
The SE25 clamps on the outer part
of the tube through collets. Usually,
one collet per diameter is necessary.
Motorisation can be electrical or
cordless.
The SE25 can be mounted onto a
bench support. It is the ideal solution
for applications within various fields
such as: semi-conductor industry;
pharmaceutical industry; clean rooms;
food processing; and the aerospace
industry.
The quality of its products and its
services are the vectors of PROTEM’s
actions in the respect for sustainable
developments.
PROTEM will consolidate these
commitments and will pursue its strategy
of international development.
