Power Options
Available with Electric, Pneumatic, and Hydraulic motor configurations to suit various operational requirements.
ODM (Electric)
Metabo Electric Motor (Model: W24-230MVT) with 2.4 Kw (3.22 Hp) power output. Requires 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz power supply. Made in Germany. Suitable for more than 80% of applications and convenient for on-site use.
ODP (Pneumatic)
Pneumatic Motor with 2.76 Kw (3.75 Hp) power output. Air consumption: 2.8 m³/min @ 0.6 Mpa. Ideal for sites with explosion-proof requirements. Performance may be affected by distance from air supply or low air pressure.
ODH (Hydraulic)
Hydraulic Motor with BMR series configuration. Hydraulic Power Unit (Model: HPU-10E) provides 7.5 Kw (10 Hp) motor power with 3 Ph, 380-440 V+N, 50/60 Hz power supply. Recommended for model OD830 and above to ensure greater power. Note that hydraulic stations are costly and require careful transport planning.

Weld Preparation Capabilities
This portable beveling machine can be equipped with different tool slides and tool bits to process V-grooves, J-grooves, and compound grooves, as well as perform internal beveling and boring operations.
Industrial Applications
The OD457 split frame pipe cutting machine serves critical roles in natural gas transmission, petrochemical complexes, marine construction, and nuclear facilities. Its spark-free cold cutting capability makes it essential for explosive atmospheres and sensitive environments. The machine supports pipeline integrity programs, plant expansions, and emergency repairs without requiring system shutdowns. In cryogenic and LNG applications, it ensures precise beveling for low-temperature piping. The split-frame design simplifies installation on large-diameter pipes, even in cramped or elevated locations.
