Pipe Beveling Machine IDE120 – Portable Cold Cutting Tool for Weld Preparation

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The IDE120 Pipe Beveling Machine is a powerful, internally mounted tool engineered for precision weld end preparation on pipe sizes ranging from 1.57" to 4.72" (Φ40 mm to 120 mm). Designed for use in industries like power generation, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and boiler manufacturing, it handles carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy pipes with ease.

Utilizing a cold cutting process, it prevents thermal distortion and ensures clean, high-quality bevels. The machine supports operations including beveling, facing, counterboring, and chamfering. Its three-jaw self-centering mandrel enables quick and secure mounting, while adjustable bevel angles (0°–45°) provide flexibility for different weld profiles. Drive options include MT electric, Bosch electric, and pneumatic motors—ideal for a variety of job site conditions.

INDUSTRIES AND APPLICATIONS

Power Generation

The ID90 pipe beveling machine plays a vital role in modern power generation facilities including coal-fired, gas turbine, nuclear, hydro, and renewable energy plants. Its precision and portability make it ideal for in-situ weld preparation on high-pressure steam lines, superheaters, boiler tubes, and heat exchangers. During planned outages or maintenance cycles, the machine facilitates efficient on-site fabrication and retrofitting with minimal disruption to plant operations.

Oil and Gas Exploration and Processing

Designed for the rigors of oilfield environments, the ID90 is ideal for upstream, midstream, and downstream applications—whether at refineries, offshore platforms, or pipeline terminals. Its compatibility with pneumatic drives allows safe use in explosive or ATEX-classified zones. The machine performs smooth beveling on carbon steel, stainless, and alloy pipes used in process units, risers, separators, and transport lines—enhancing weld quality under extreme conditions.

Chemical and Petrochemical Facilities

In chemical processing plants, where pipes frequently convey corrosive fluids, volatile compounds, or superheated media, the ID90’s cold cutting technique prevents thermal damage and ensures clean edges. Its precision cutting enhances joint reliability for pipelines in reactors, heat exchangers, distillation towers, and safety systems. The machine's ability to handle high-alloy materials helps meet strict regulatory standards in hazardous environments.

Pipeline Installation and Maintenance

Whether in cross-country pipeline projects or emergency shutdown maintenance, the ID90 delivers reliable beveling with fast setup and minimal tooling. It is especially valuable in remote locations or tight access sites where conventional cutting tools are impractical. The machine’s lightweight design and modular jaws ensure secure internal mounting and consistent results, even under uneven terrain or harsh weather conditions.
