We operate a range of induction bending machinery
for all of the markets we serve.
Induction bending was used primarily to produce
tube or pipe bends at tight radii for the offshore
/ oil and gas industry. The machinery we operate
is designed and built in house to enable us to serve
the oil, gas and process engineering markets and
also the structural markets, offering hot bending
services for structural sections such as beams,
channels, RHS / SHS, ovals and semi ovals to radii
not possible with cold or mandrel bending / rolling
machinery.
The main advantage of induction (hot) bending is the minimal
deformation of the section profile, even at tight
radii, which is essential for both the petrochemical
and building markets.
As we operate all our bending services, whether cold rolling, hot bending, press braking or plate forming, on a single
site, even if your order requires different processes
you can be assured of a quick & economical delivery,
with all items subject to the same high level of
quality. |
