ERW Tube Mill Lines: HG20-HG610
The ERW20 series high frequency welded pipe unit adopts the roller forming principle to continuously produce straight seam welded pipes. It adopts high frequency induction welding and can produce not only round pipes, but also square and rectangular pipes and special-shaped pipes that do not exceed the processing range of round pipes.
The ERW Tube Mill Line is a continuous, automated industrial system used to produce Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) steel tubes and pipes. The line forms steel strip into a tubular shape and joins the edges using High-Frequency Induction Welding (HFIW) technology. This process ensures efficient, precise, and high-speed tube production, capable of manufacturing round, square, rectangular, and special-shaped tubes within the forming range.

Product Disaplay
An Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) Tube Mill is an advanced industrial production line designed to transform flat steel coils into high-quality welded pipes or tubes. The process involves forming the steel into a cylindrical shape and then using high-frequency electric currents to heat and fuse the edges along a longitudinal seam—without the need for filler materials.
ERW pipe production line offer a cost-effective, high-speed, and precise method for manufacturing pipes, making them ideal for applications in construction, oil and gas, water pipelines, and structural steel industries. With automation and continuous operation, these mills ensure consistent weld quality, tight tolerances, and scalable production capacity.
Uncoiling – Steel coils are uncoiled and fed into the production line.
Shear & End Welding – The ends of steel strips are welded together for continuous operation.
Accumulator – Temporarily stores strip material to keep the line running smoothly during coil changes.
Forming – Rollers gradually shape the flat steel strip into a round open tube.
High-Frequency Welding – Tube edges are heated and fused using high-frequency induction.
Bead Removing – Removes internal and external weld beads for a smooth surface.
Cooling – The welded tube is cooled by a water system.
Sizing & Straightening – Adjusts the tube’s diameter and ensures straightness.
Cutting – Tubes are automatically cut to the required length.
Inspection & Packaging – Finished tubes are inspected, bundled, and prepared for delivery.

1. What is the production speed of an ERW tube mill line?
The production speed depends on the type of mill, raw materials, and operator settings. Typically, ERW tube mills run at 30 to 120 meters per minute, providing a high-efficiency solution for welded pipe manufacturing.
2. Can I place a customized order based on specific requirements?
Yes. Great Wall offers fully customizable tube mill lines. Customers can specify pipe diameter, wall thickness, cutting method, automation level, and other features to meet exact production needs.
3. How does Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) work?
ERW uses high-frequency electrical currents to heat and fuse the edges of formed steel into a continuous, longitudinal seam, producing strong and precise welded pipes.
4. Why are ERW pipes preferred over seamless pipes?
ERW pipes are cost-effective and easier to produce, making them suitable for many low- to medium-pressure applications. In contrast, seamless pipes are typically chosen for high-pressure or specialized industrial uses.
