New innovative high-speed
steel and plastic pipe cutting
machines
FINNISH company Exact Tools Oy,
which has developed a complete new
method to cut pipes, has launched a
brand new range of steel and plastic
pipe cutting systems along with cutting
accessories.
The award winning PipeCut range
of pipe cutting systems are one of the
fastest, easiest, safest and most precise
ways to cut and bevel pipes and tubes
on-site – producing a straight, ready to
install finished surface in a multitude
of diameters and materials, eliminating
many of the problems associated with
pipe cutting.
There are over seven different models
available ranging from the PipeCut 170
and 170E systems for cutting 15mm to
170mm diameter steel and plastic pipe
to the PipeCut P400 for cutting and
bevelling in one process, plastic pipe
from 100mm to 400mm in diameter with
a wall thickness up to 25mm.
Each model can be supplied with a
choice of three different blades – TCT
(tungsten carbide tip) blades for general
use in cutting steels, copper, aluminium,
plastic and multi-layer materials;
cermet with ceramic tips for heavy duty
applications such as cutting stainless
steel; and acid proof steel and diamond
discs for cutting cast iron pipes. The
Exact V1000 model can cut spiral duct
tube ranging from 75mm to 1,000mm in
diameter with wall thicknesses ranging
from 1.5 to 6mm.
These systems are suitable for the
professional industrial pipe installer
employed in power generation, refinery
and chemical plant, hospital and other
construction sites, house building and
renovation, shipbuilding, wood pulp,
fresh and waste water systems, heating
and cooling systems, gas installations,
maintenance and repair work. They are
very easy to use on steel, cast iron,
stainless steel, aluminium, copper and
most types of plastic.
The cutter firmly grips the pipe to be
cut, with the blade being automatically
positioned to cut correctly. In addition
the entire weight of the cutter rests on
the pipe. When started, the blade chips
the pipe surface rather than grinding it,
producing a burr-free cut surface that is
ready for installation.
The operation is dust free
and does not produce any
sparks.
Each system comes supplied with its
own set of pipe holders (except model
V1000 which are an optional extra) pipe
saw, allen keys, CD user manual and
shoulder bag.
Other features of these products
include the ability to cut pipe at floor level,
improved working environment and user
safety including fire safety, increased
productivity through extremely fast
cutting speeds, light to use, pipes can
be cut everywhere where electric power
is available, and work benches or large
manipulators are not required.
Distributor companies interested in
selling these products or end users
seeking a no obligation demonstration
are asked to contact Exact Tools sales
director Steve Marsland.
