The SUNTECHMACH STG9A electric roll grooving machine is designed for grooving SCH40 steel pipe from 1" to 8" (33-219mm) — the core sizes used in grooved coupling fire protection, HVAC and plumbing systems. A 750W motor drives the rollers at 23 RPM to cold-form standard grooves in steel and galvanized pipe up to 8mm wall thickness, without chips or sparks. The folding carriage lets one person assemble, move and level the machine quickly between job sites, and grooves are formed to the standard dimensions required by grooved coupling systems.
| THE PROBLEM |
HOW WE SOLVED IT |
| Fire sprinkler joints must be installed fast on site |
Electric 750W roll groover — one operator, no threading |
| Machines are heavy and hard to move between floors |
Folding carriage design for quick setup and transport |
| SCH40 thick-wall pipe is tough to groove |
Up to 8mm wall capacity at 23 RPM |
| Couplings need accurate standard grooves |
Grooves cold-formed to standard coupling dimensions |
| Cutting with chips is messy |
Roll grooving produces no chips and no sparks |

Operation Guide
- Set up the machine on the folding carriage and level it.
- Select the grooving rolls for the pipe size and install them.
- Insert the pipe between the rollers at the marked groove position.
- Adjust the roll depth per the grooving chart for the pipe size (SCH40).
- Start the motor; the pipe rotates at 23 RPM and the groove is cold-formed.
- Stop, release and check the groove with a groove gauge (depth/width per coupling spec).
Common Faults & Solutions
| Common faults |
Reasons |
Solutions |
| Pipe slips during grooving |
