Heavy Duty Pneumatic Pipe Beveling Machine For 14 Inch Cold Cutting And Weld

Product Specification

Heavy Duty Pipe Beveling Machine ID352 for 14 Inch Cold Cutting and Weld Prep

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ID352 Pipe Beveling Machine is a robust, internally mounted cold cutting tool engineered for precision weld end preparation on pipes and tubes with diameters ranging from 5.71" to 14.02" (Φ145 mm–356 mm). Designed for high-demand industrial environments such as power generation, petrochemical plants, pipeline construction, and shipbuilding, the ID352 offers efficient, accurate, and repeatable beveling performance across a wide range of materials.

Equipped with interchangeable tooling and modular drive systems, the ID352 is capable of performing beveling (V, U), facing, counterboring, and chamfering, supporting diverse weld prep requirements with minimal setup time. Its cold cutting process eliminates heat-affected zones (HAZ), protecting the integrity of the base metal and ensuring exceptional weld quality.

The machine can be configured with either an MT electric motor or an explosion-proof pneumatic motor, making it adaptable to both controlled indoor environments and hazardous field conditions. A three-jaw self-centering expanding mandrel ensures stable internal clamping, even in tight or vertical workspaces.

KEY FEATURES

Heavy-Duty Cold Cutting Performance

Delivers 100% cold machining to eliminate thermal distortion and maintain metallurgical integrity during weld end prep.

Wide Pipe Compatibility

Covers a large diameter range from 145 mm to 356 mm (5.71"–14.02"), making it ideal for large bore piping systems in critical industries.

Multi-Function Tooling System

Performs V and U bevels, counterbores, end-facing, and edge chamfers with interchangeable tool holders and inserts.

Quick, Secure Installation

The expanding three-jaw mandrel centers and locks the machine internally with precision and speed, even in overhead or restricted access positions.

Material Versatility

Effectively machines carbon steel, stainless steel, and high-strength alloys commonly used in industrial piping systems.

SPECIFICATIONS

DRIVE OPTIONS

The ID352 Pipe Beveling Machine is offered in two distinct drive configurations—electric and pneumatic—designed to accommodate diverse operational needs, site conditions, and user preferences across various industries.

IDE352 – MT Electric Motor Drive

Powered by a reliable MT electric motor (2.15 Hp / 1.6 kW), this configuration ensures consistent torque and precise speed control. Ideal for shop-floor operations where stable electricity is available, it delivers excellent performance for prolonged use.

IDP352 – Pneumatic Motor Drive

Driven by a powerful 3.75 Hp (2.76 kW) pneumatic motor, consuming 2.8 m³/min @ 0.6 MPa. With an explosion-proof, low-maintenance design, this version is optimal for ATEX-rated hazardous zones, offshore platforms, and environments where electrical power is limited or prohibited.

INDUSTRIES AND APPLICATIONS

Power Generation

The pipe beveling machine plays a critical role in thermal, nuclear, and combined-cycle power plants. It ensures precision weld end preparation for high-pressure steam pipelines, feedwater systems, and heat exchanger tubes. By eliminating heat-affected zones (HAZ), the machine guarantees consistent weld quality, which is essential for plant safety and performance in environments subjected to extreme temperature and pressure cycles.

Oil and Gas

Ideal for upstream drilling rigs, midstream pipeline construction, and downstream refinery operations, this pipe beveling solution supports safe and efficient weld preparation for high-strength steel pipes, pressure vessels, and flow control systems. Its cold cutting capability makes it suitable for explosive or flammable atmospheres, including onshore and offshore environments.

Petrochemical and Chemical Processing

Ensures clean, precise weld joints for corrosive media piping made of stainless or alloy steels.

Designed for processing pipelines that transport aggressive or corrosive media, the machine delivers precision weld prep on stainless steel, duplex, and nickel alloy pipes. It is frequently used in acid handling systems, gas separation plants, and polymer processing facilities where strict welding standards and corrosion resistance are critical.

Shipbuilding and Offshore

Perfectly suited for marine pipeline fabrication, ballast water systems, and modular offshore platforms, this compact pipe beveling machine excels in confined engine rooms, decks, and structural modules. Its portability and explosion-proof pneumatic option make it ideal for onboard and rig-based operations.
