Synergy for turnkey tube manufacturing

Faspar and Olimpia 80 recently put into operation one slitting line and two tube mills, positioned side by side, in a Ukrainian plant of one of the world’s largest titanium producers. The final use of these titanium tubes is in the energy field (nuclear) and heat exchangers. The Faspar slitting lines can process grade 1 and 2 coils, VT1-0 up to 10 tons, at line speeds up to 200m/min,

FASPAR, a specialist in coil processing equipment, and Olimpia 80, an expert in systems and equipment for welded tubes, have shared their experience and core business to ensure the quality of strip products at the entry of tube mills. This operation can be underestimated, but it is important in order to fully exploit the capacity of the tube mill. Faspar has been a producer of turnkey equipment for the processing of metal coils since 1966. Its main product range includes slitting lines; levelling, straightening and cut-to-length lines (with feeder, rotary shear or flying shear); surface finishing lines; feeding and pressing/punching/bending lines; and tension/stretch levelling lines. Olimpia 80 Srl specialises in the engineering and manufacture of systems and equipment for welded tubes. Its main product range consists of complete tube mills and components.
