Protem specialises in the design
and manufacture of portable pipe-
end preparation tools such as pipe
bevelling, tube cutting and surfacing
machines, ranging from 3 to 3,600mm

according to customer needs.
The company’s electric BB machine
can be used either on-site or in the
workshop. The heavy duty beveller will
Bevelling benches for use on- and off-shore
bevel, face and counterbore heavy wall
pipes individually or simultaneously. It
will perform repeatable high quality weld
preps on most metal pipes including
stainless, duplex, super duplex from
3" to 16" outside diameter (88.9 to
406mm), or from 12" to 24" outside
diameter (323.9 to 610mm).
The bench beveller can be fixed to the
floor and is easily installed. It clamps
the outside diameter of the pipe, and
can be controlled by one operator. Used
with an optional profile tracking device,
it will machine oval pipes, leaving a
root face of a consistent width, which
is required when using orbital welding
heads.
