Main Features & Benefits of Flexible Forming Pipe Mill
Flexible Forming Section (Rough Forming): The FFX forming section adapts to various pipe diameters with minimal adjustment, enabling fast specification change-overs.
Finishing & Sizing Efficiency: After rough forming, the fin pass and sizing parts allow quick change of rollers, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent dimensions.
High-Precision Control: PLC control system with AC motors and converter adjustment offers stable speed, precision, and real-time monitoring for the flexible forming pipe mill line.
Solid-State High-Frequency Welding: Provides superior weld seam quality, minimal defects, strong mechanical integrity.
Wide Specification Range: Able to handle various pipe diameters and thicknesses for different industries, making this mill especially flexible for diverse orders.
Energy & Resource Efficiency: Optimized forming and welding sections, quick change rollers help reduce material waste and energy consumption.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What makes a pipe mill “flexible forming”?
A:A flexible forming pipe mill uses forming and rough forming sections (like FFX) that allow multiple pipe diameters/specifications without full tool change, enabling quicker changeovers and lower setup costs.
Q:What materials can the 191mm flexible forming pipe mill handle?
A:It handles low-carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and high‐strength steel. If you have special material requirements, customization is possible.
Q:How long does roller/roll change take?
A:With quick-change roller design in fin pass/sizing section, the roll changeover is optimized to minimize downtime. Exact time depends on the model and configuration but is significantly lower than traditional mills.
Q:Do you offer installation, commissioning, and after-sales support?
A:Yes. As a tube mill line manufacturer, we provide full turnkey service: site installation, operator training, commissioning, and ongoing parts & technical support.
