FI26 Flange Facer – Internally Mounted Portable Flange Facing Machine (4.72–27.56")

The FI26 Flange Facer is a precision-engineered portable flange resurfacing machine designed for on-site flange facing and repair applications. With a machining range of 120 mm to 700 mm (4.72”–27.56”), the FI26 is internally mounted and operates in any orientation—horizontal, vertical, or overhead. It is widely used for reconditioning corroded, worn, or damaged flange sealing surfaces to meet ASME B16.5 standards. Whether you’re repairing flat face (FF), raised face (RF), ring-type joint (RTJ), or other complex groove profiles, the FI26 offers fast setup, high precision, and rugged dependability in field
