Collaring Unit HFT-2000 SS

Collaring Unit HFT-2000 SS

Pipe branching by the T-DRILL method is also called collaring, mechanical tee forming, or simply T-DRILL tees. The T-DRILL method of pipe branching is an ideal solution for making tee joints in main run tubes in just a couple of minutes.

Hand Feed Table for small volume production of stainless steel manifolds
HFT-2000 SS is used in conjunction with the T-DRILL T-65 SS collaring machine. The Hand Feed Table (HFT) is capable of producing collars O.D. 17 to 54 millimetre (¾” – 2″) in run tubes O.D. 32 to 114 millimetre (1 ¼” – 4″).

  • No T-fittings
  • No costly inventories
  • No tube cutting
  • Only one welded joint
  • Minimized inspection cost
  • Tee ratio variation flexibility
  • Smaller risk of leakage or call-backs
  • Optimized flow-characteristics
  • Hygienic, clean weld points

Connecting a branch pipe to a run pipe using the T-DRILL method is also called collaring. As the tee is fabricated from the basic tube, no costly T-pieces are needed. Instead of three joints, there is only one joint!

Collaring Machine S-80

Collaring Machine S-80

The Collaring Machine S-80 with Automatic Tool Changer and Fully Servo Controlled Process is extremely fast and highly effective machine for both Stainless Steel and Copper pipes.

The S-80 machine has been developed to make collars between 8–80 mm (5/16–3 1/8“) faster than ever before, which makes it a perfect solution for high volume applications up to 114,3 mm (4″) pipes.

The S-80 has fully automatic, servo controlled collaring cycle: 1. Pilot hole milling, 2. Collar forming, and 3. Trimming for the collars to be welded. The great advantage of the automatic tool changer is the possibility to make different collar diameters during this same automatic working cycle.

The modular design of the S-80 and many unique options allows us to meet a wide variety of different industry specific requirements and offer optimized tube and pipe manufacturing solutions – all to improve your productivity.
