AGTOS sees itself not only as a
machine supplier, but also as a com-
plete source for surface preparation
technology.
Our service program includes wear
and spare parts, repairs and mainte-
nance, and employee instruction and
training. The modernization, altera-
tion and performance enhancement
of already existing turbine
wheel shot blast
machines rounds out
the service program.

W + K IndustrieTechnik manufactures
and supplies a new generation of spiral
pipe mills which operate via the two-stage
process. Spiral pipes are currently used by
most international oil and gas companies in
all highly-stressed supply pipelines.
The quality and economic efficiency of
the spiral pipe manufacturing process –
especially using W + K’s two stage process
– is a result of a harmonised combination of
machine and process technology. In the first stage of the process, the raw
material is formed into a pipe body and
provisionally welded at high speeds (up to
12m/min). In the second stage, the pipes
are finally welded on separate stands where
the inside and outside seams are welded
simultaneously by means of submerged-arc
multi wire welding.
W + K’s high level of development is
represented by this new generation of spiral
pipe mills. Particular features of the patented
system are straightness of pipe, very tight
tolerances for pipe diameter and ovality,
and constant outside diameter over the
whole pipe length. With complete plants and
individual machines, the company ensures a
quality assurance, high quality raw materials
and advanced production technology.
The delivery programme of W + K comprises
equipment for pipe diameters up to 64" OD
for line pipes (API spec 5 L), and up to 100"
OD for water pipes (AWWA C 200 spec).
