Optimising
tube production
processes
ERNST Blissenbach GmbH manufactures
tools for the tubing industry that are
designed and manufactured in-house and –
if the customer so desires – commissioned
on-site. Customers benefit from the
company’s ability to use its experience of
production needs, not only for improving the
tools, but also to optimise tube production
processes. That is how the company
guarantees top quality inside weld bead
removal and failure-free manufacturing
processes in the tube welding line.
HF longitudinally welded tubes have
been in use in various fields of technology
since the 1960s. Based on advances in
process engineering they are now being
used for applications that – for quality
reasons – used to call for seamless tubes. In
parallel with the more widespread use of HF
longitudinally welded tubes, the demands
on quality also increased and require even
more fine-tuning of tool parameters.
The company will advise customers
specifically on what impact the impeder
has on weld bead formation and how it
influences the scarfing quality and its ability
to remove the weld bead or how to improve
interaction with the HF-welder to achieve
perfect results. In all this Blissenbach
always takes individual requirements and
conditions into consideration to achieve
inside tube scarfing at the highest level.

ID scarfing and
bead rolling
KENTCorporation has become the worldwide
exclusive distributor for Phoenix Tool, offering
the company’s full line of ID scarfing and
bead rolling systems. The Phoenix design is
said to be versatile and easy to adjust and
set up.
New high-grade materials allow for
longer lasting tooling. Kent can offer
retrofit tool holders and mandrels to
work with almost all manufacturers’ ID
mandrels. This can save money, by
converting to a more standard and less
expensive cutting ring.
Kent has also introduced a new Tube
Scrap Chopper. Initial designs are for 2"
and 3" maximum diameter tube. The heavy
duty, robust flywheel design has a separate
material feed and multi-sided blades.
By chopping scrap tube, users can save
valuable floor space. One dumpster can
take up to three times the space of chopped
scrap.
