EEW has commissioned a new 12.2m production line for manufacturing large diameter stainless steel pipes, thus increasing EEW’s monthly capacity by a further 2000 tonnes. This new facility will be of interest for the oil and gas industry, especially for fabricators of LNG facilities. The forming is based on a 12,2m, 3 roll bending machine combined with a specially designed post bending press. For the stainless steel production, an induction heat treatment facility and for surface treatment a shot-blasting machine and pickling / passivation facility have been installed.
