Wortelboer introduces the new TPP 5090 AFTER making a weld preparation, most pipes and tubes have to be polished in order to avoid pollution of the weld. As a result Th Wortelboer Bv in the Netherlands has developed a revolutionary solution to clean the inside and outside at the same time in one cycle. The compact TPP 5090 is a safe machine for cleaning welding preparations quickly and easy. Tubes, pipes as well as plate edges can be prepared for welding quick and safe. The two polishing wheels of the TPP 5090 can easily be adjusted according to the thickness of the material. The inevitable wear of the wheels, which decreases the wheel diameter, can easily be corrected. The new innovative TPP 5090 conditioning machine is a registered design.
