Great Wall designs and manufactures custom tube mill machines for continuous welded steel pipe production. Our tube mill range includes ERW tube mill lines, FFX flexible forming mills, direct square forming lines, large-diameter thin-wall pipe mills and small-diameter thick-wall pipe mills. Each production line can be configured according to the required pipe shape, diameter, wall thickness, material, output and automation level.

Each tube mill line can be configured according to the required pipe shape, outside diameter, wall thickness, steel grade, production speed and automation level. Complete solutions are available from coil handling and strip preparation to forming, high-frequency welding, sizing, cutting, inspection and automatic packing.

Whether you are building a new welded pipe factory, expanding production capacity or replacing an existing line, our engineering team can recommend a suitable tube mill machine based on your finished pipe specifications and workshop conditions.

Tube Mills & Product Lines

Our Tube Mill Solutions Include:

• ERW Tube Mill Lines – High-efficiency production for standard welded steel pipes.

• FFX Technology Tube Mill Line – Advanced automation for precision and productivity.

• Direct Square Forming Tube Mill – Efficient square and rectangular pipe manufacturing.

• Large-Diameter Thin-Walled Steel Pipe Mill Line – Optimized for lightweight, large-diameter pipes.

• Small-Diameter Thick-Walled Steel Pipe Mill Line – Designed for robust, heavy-duty applications.

Typical Tube Mill Machine Capabilities

The actual technical range depends on the selected model and production requirements. Great Wall tube mill machines can be engineered within the following general product scope:

All technical parameters should be confirmed according to the buyer’s pipe specification sheet, raw material condition and required production capacity.

• Production Line Performance & Features

Great Wall slitting line designed for processing coils of varied specifications, this production line completes the entire workflow from uncoiling and initial flattening to head cutting, slitting, and finally rewinding into coils with the required fixed width. Suitable for processing materials from thin sheets to thick plates, typically within a thickness range of 0.2 mm to 30 mm (depending on the machine model). As an integrated automatic coil processing equipment that combines mechanics, electricity, hydraulics, and pneumatics, it stands out for its user-friendly operation, rational layout, high automation level, and efficient processing capabilities.

Capable of handling multiple metal types, including carbon steel, cold-rolled sheets, galvanized sheets, silicon steel sheets stainless steel, aluminum alloys, copper, and other metals. Thanks to its advanced processing technology, the production line ensures consistent precision in coil width and flatness—effectively reducing material waste caused by dimensional errors, and meeting the strict quality requirements of high-end metal processing projects. Moreover, it is equipped with an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) that allows operators to set parameters, monitor the production process, and troubleshoot simply, minimizing the learning curve for new users.

• Versatile Application Scope

Welded Pipe Industry: It processes metal strips (such as carbon steel strips or stainless steel strips) into uniform narrow-width materials with precise dimensional control—these strips serve as the core raw material for welded pipe production, ensuring the subsequent pipe-forming and welding processes meet industry quality standards.

Automotive Manufacturing Industry: The machine specializes in processing high-strength steel strips, which are essential for manufacturing durable automotive components that meet strict safety and performance standards.

Solar Bracket Manufacturing Field: It precisely slits metal sheets (such as aluminum alloy sheets or galvanized steel sheets) into customized widths and sizes, supplying high-precision raw materials for assembling solar brackets—ensuring the brackets have stable structural performance to withstand outdoor environmental conditions.

Construction Sector: It processes galvanized steel and color-coated steel, producing materials that are widely used in manufacturing roofing products and structural components for construction projects.

Complete Auxiliary Equipment for Welded Pipe Production

Uncoiler

The uncoiler is used to support and feed steel coils into the tube mill production line. It provides stable strip feeding and helps ensure continuous pipe production.

Features:

• Suitable for different coil weights and widths

• Stable strip feeding performance

• Reduces manual handling requirements

• Improves production efficiency

Pinching and Leveling Machine

The pinching and leveling machine straightens the steel strip before forming to improve feeding stability and tube forming accuracy.

Benefits:

• Removes strip deformation

• Improves forming quality

• Ensures stable welding performance

• Reduces production defects

Shear and Welder

The shear and welder connects the end of the previous coil with the beginning of the new coil, allowing continuous production without frequent shutdowns.

Applications:

• High-speed ERW tube mills

• Automatic continuous pipe production lines

• Large-volume tube manufacturing

Spiral Accumulator

The accumulator stores steel strip temporarily during coil changing and ensures uninterrupted tube mill operation.

Advantages:

• Enables continuous production

• Reduces downtime during coil replacement

• Improves overall production efficiency

High Frequency Welder Machine

The high frequency welding system is one of the key components of ERW tube mill lines. It uses high-frequency induction welding technology to create strong and reliable longitudinal weld seams.

Features:
