Sica expands range of automatic tube coilers THE demand for automatic coilers has been steadily growing and Sica has expanded its product range by offering innovative, cutting-edge solutions. The setup is fully automatic and can be adjusted during the production without stopping the machine. reduces the consumption of film with respect to traditional systems available on the market (up to -30 per cent). They process diameters from 8 (1/8”) up to 40mm (1” 1/4) in short length coils covered with stretch film.

capacities and low running costs. Customers, such as the Swiss company Häusler, have trusted Linsinger’s expertise and technology for many years. In addition to the KSS sawing machines for steel billets and the KSA saws for seamless tubes, the BFMK strip edge millers and the Linsinger MC MultiCut parting saws have also proven effective in longitudinally welded pipe mills for several decades. The specialised portfolio for large diameter pipe mills is complemented by the PFM plate edge milling machines and the RFM pipe end bevelling machines. The PFM plate edge milling machine is used for preparation of Multilega 700, Multilega 700HS – automatic coilers for corrugated PVC, PE and PP pipes from OD16mm (3/8”) up to OD63mm (2”). Packaging with both heat sealed PP and PES straps. The new strapping system makes the Multilega 700HS even faster. Flash 450, Flash 600 automatic coilers for coiling corrugated PVC, PE and PP pipes – the coilers have two or three reels with centralised adjustment controls, a film dispenser with electronic tension control, universal film cutting systems and variable-geometry reel unloading device. The packaging method chosen

Its range of coilers includes models designed to ensure efficiency and reliability. The number of coilers ordered are growing and so are the models Sica can offer as seen below. Smartcoil 1200, Smartcoil 1400, Smartcoil 1700 and Smartcoil 2200 – automatic coilers with two-reel structure for flexible solid wall and corrugated PVC, PE and PP pipes. Packaging with both heat-sealed PP and PES straps. Their smart design consists of automatic format change, reliability and simplification of use and smaller footprint.

Flash 700E, Flash 700E HS, Flash 700E PLUS – automatic coilers for packing corrugated PVC, PE and PP pipes from OD16mm (3/8”) up to OD63mm (2”). Coils are wrapped along their diameter with bands of stretch film. This wrapping system allows the coil to maintain its shape even when pipe is pulled from its interior.

Large diameter pipe mills upgraded by Linsinger Maschinenbau

welding edge profiles. The machine works with height copy milling units and is capable of maximum cutting efficiency combined with minimum consumable tooling costs. Simultaneous milling of both longitudinal sides saves time and money. The profile milling tools made by Linsinger enable virtually any geometry to be milled with high precision and speed. The RFM pipe end bevelling machine enables simultaneous chamfering of both pipe ends by a single operator. The chamfered pipe surpasses API specifications and the long tool life ensures the lowest possible running costs. The movable milling units chamfer a range of pipe lengths and the internal copy tools guarantee consistent chamfer geometries. The RFM pipe end bevelling machine chamfers diameters between 16" and 90" with practically no burr. The backlash free Linsinger patented DPD double power drive transmission system uses twin motors, small flanges and high torque for absolute precision. Linsinger’s modular approach and innovation continue to set high standards for large diameter pipe manufacturing, ensuring high quality and cost efficiency for customers.

FOR more than 80 years Linsinger has prided itself on offering high quality machines and being able to meet even the strictest deadlines of customers in the large diameter pipe industry. “Linsinger has continuously optimised and improved machine performance. This has been backed up by high levels of R&D investment and a balanced in house sourcing policy,” said Linsinger CEO, Günter Holleis. Producers of large diameter pipes demand customised solutions – whether for pipe cutting, longitudinal seam preparation or pipe-end chamfering. These solutions must ensure high precision, ambitious production
