The T-DRILL F-170 flanging machine is easy to move from one place to another and fits perfectly for on-site working or the pipe fabrication shop. F-170 can flange tube ends up to 4,5 mm in wall thickness.
The machine is very user-friendly, and the working cycle is fully automatic without any forming tool changes. It saves costs in both labor and material in both new construction and repair work.
Flanging by using the T-DRILL method can save time even 98 % and total cost more than 50 % compared to traditional welding method. The result is always precise and stable flange without welding seam, meaning that the X-ray inspection is not needed.
Perfect for:
• Shipbuilding
• Water and wastewater applications
• Ventilation systems
• District heating and cooling piping
• Food and brewery processing pipes
• Pulp and paper industry
• Chemical industry
• Construction and mining industry
