FIVESBRONX’s six roll series machine is very versatile and will process the full range of API grades pipe as well as the speciality alloy tube market. The six roll straighteners can be found in all the leading seamless and ERW pipe mills worldwide. This can only be done with a knowledgeable and fully committed staff of engineers, designers and project managers. Its staff are continually searching for that next innovation that will make the FivesBronx straighteners better than before. FivesBronx has recently completed a deal for a Series 6CR11 hot straightener to China’s Wuxi Valin. The new 258mm hot rolling seamless mill will produce the tubes 60-244.5mm OD with 30mm wall and 15m long tubes. The steel grades are for casing, casing coupling, tubing coupling, drill tube, line pipe, high pressure boiler tube, low and medium pressure boiler tube, gas cylinder tube, seamless hot-rolled steel tubes for hydraulic pillar service, structure tube, tubes for liquid service and other high alloy tubes. The annual production will be 500,000 tons. The machine will process plain and upset API pipe with temperatures ranging from ambient to 750 ° C. The new installation is coupled with the patented FivesBronx Computer Aided Setting System (COMPASS), utilising the latest in industrial electrical and electronic technology to provide the customer with consistently high quality product and throughput capacity. With the COMPASS system, machine setup times for a size change are reduced to less than three minutes, while its data collection and storage is vital to the producer when processing such sensitive and critical components. Other design features include incorporating all of the upset movements into the top passes of the machine, eliminating the need for maintenance access to hydraulic cylinders in the base of the machine, an area typically flooded FivesBronx completes China deal
