Large-diameter thin-walled steel pipe mill line

Large Diameter Tube Mill

Large diameter tube mill is used to produce straight seam welded steel pipes with outer diameters from 114 mm to over 500 mm, widely applied in structural, fluid transport, and construction piping.

Greatwall specializes in high-frequency welded pipe production lines for large-diameter, thin-walled steel pipes. The lines feature advanced control systems, reliable forming technology, and high efficiency, serving the construction, infrastructure, and petrochemical industries.

Each line is customized to customer needs. The pipes have a smooth appearance, high pressure resistance, and reduced weight, helping lower installation and material costs.

Production process:

Process: loading → unwinding → straightening → clamping and leveling → shearing and welding →Accumulator→ forming, high-frequency extrusion welding, removing external (internal) burrs, weld polishing, weld flaw detection, water cooling, sizing, rough straightening → Saw cutting → conveyor rollers → automatic packaging → marking → inspection and collection → storage


Large Diameter Tube Mill Features

  • High-Frequency Welding Technology: Stable and precise straight seam welding.

  • Adjustable Roll Forming: Accommodates a wide range of pipe diameters and thicknesses.

  • Servo-Controlled Flying Saw: Ensures high-accuracy cutting at full line speed.

  • Human-Machine Interface (HMI): Intuitive PLC control system for easy operation.

  • Thin-Wall Compatibility: Suitable for 2.0–6.0 mm wall thickness, optimizing material use.

  • High Production Speed: Up to 60 m/min depending on configuration.
