Protem’s newly launched pipe facing machines (PFM) drastically increase productivity and are very useful for pipeline projects. The PFM serve all industries where the weld quality is critical and projects must stay on schedule. The machines are easy to install and quickly adjustable to any size within the machine’s range.
ID mount pipe facing machines (4’’-72’’) Protem pipe facing machines are used for machining pipes on all materials, such as mild steel, stainless steel, copper and exotic alloys such as incoloy, astelloy, duplex, super duplex, etc. They produce a repeatable high quality surface to increase the final quality of the welded assembly and perform narrow-gap on heavy wall pipe up to 60 mm with the aim of reducing the amount of weld metal used and increase the productivity due to the decrease in welding times.
In addition to typical bevels, pipe facing machines are capable of I, V, J, X shape or compounded bevels, counterboring and deep counterboring. The main advantages of the pipe facing machines include the possibility to perform quality bevels up to 60 mm with the highest production rate and improved weld quality. They are easily transportable or can be fixed on the ground.
