FI60 Internally Mounted Portable Refacing Tool for Heavy-Duty On-Site Flange Repair

The FI60 Flange Facing Machine is a high-performance, internally mounted solution specifically engineered for on-site flange resurfacing and maintenance of large-diameter flanges. Designed to restore sealing surfaces in industrial applications, it handles flange diameters from 12.6 to 59 inches (320–1500 mm) with an ID mounting range of 11.4 to 57 inches (290–1450 mm).

This portable flange facing machine is built for precision machining of flat face (FF), raised face (RF), ring-type joint (RTJ), weld overlays, and custom profiles. It supports ASME B16.5-compliant finishes, including phonographic and serrated sealing surfaces.

Available with either a Modec pneumatic motor or a Panasonic electric servo motor, the FI60 offers the adaptability and reliability required for field machining tasks in oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and offshore maintenance environments.

INDUSTRIES AND APPLICATIONS

The FI60 Flange Facing Machine is engineered for versatile applications across a wide spectrum of industries that require precision flange maintenance, sealing surface restoration, and equipment downtime reduction. Its portability and internal-mount design make it particularly valuable in challenging field environments. Key industries include:

Oil and Gas

Used extensively in both upstream and downstream operations, the FI60 ensures safe and reliable sealing surfaces on flanges in pipelines, pressure vessels, separators, heat exchangers, and manifold systems. It supports scheduled maintenance, shutdowns, and emergency repairs at drilling rigs, refineries, and LNG terminals.

Power Generation

Ideal for nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric, and renewable power plants, this machine restores damaged or worn flange faces on high-pressure steam lines, condensers, and turbine systems—helping maintain plant safety and efficiency.

Petrochemical and Chemical Processing

Provides precise machining of flanges in process piping systems, reactors, and high-corrosion environments. It minimizes sealing failures and helps maintain compliance with safety and process integrity standards in hazardous zones.

Marine and Offshore

Supports routine and urgent maintenance of flanged joints in offshore drilling platforms, FPSOs, and shipboard piping systems. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for space-restricted environments.

Infrastructure and Utilities

Employed in district heating/cooling systems, water treatment plants, and high-capacity utility pipelines to restore flanged joints and reduce leak risks.

Pipeline Fabrication and Modular Skids

Ideal for workshops and prefabrication yards where flange preparation is critical before field assembly. Ensures precise gasket seating surfaces during fabrication of modular piping skids or pipeline sections.

Maintenance and Field Service Contractors

A go-to solution for mobile technicians and maintenance teams offering on-site machining services. The FI60 enhances service capability by enabling quick setup and high-precision results across a wide range of flange sizes.
