INTERNATIONAL company Tubos Reunidos has a new facility, complete with Danobat machines for the manufacture of threaded pipes and hoses. The project is the result of a joint venture between Tubos Reunidos and Marubeni. The premises total around 31,500m 2 and include a workshop where the Danobat machines manufacture the threaded pipes. The new production line will manufacture highly technological pipes, specifically threaded for drilling and production of oil and gas wells. Danobat machines finish the pipes with patented premium threads that are claimed to provide superior performance compared to standard threads. “They are perfectly suited for work on sites at 4,000 or 5,000m depth,” said Carlos San Martín, director of technology and development of Tubos Reunidos Industrial. Among other

this machine include rigidity, high production and chip removal ca- pacities during turning and threading opera- tions. It is provided with load-unload systems, positioning channels and solutions with specific tools for turning pipes. The line will also be equipped with Danobat band saws to cut the pipes, offering a high value-added comprehensive solution to Tubos Reunidos. In the new factory, Danobat machinery will also produce the necessary special couplings to join the pipes in the well.
