Tube layer saws for the Indian market SAWING specialist framag Industriean- lagenbau has found that Indian manu- facturers of seamless tubes are increas- ingly relying on its technology, and are continuously modernising their produc- tion lines.

in the sawing process, improving cutting efficiency and tool service life. framag offers an entire range of sawing technology in the field of dry sawing. “We are able to supply our customers with the whole package in the field of seamless and extrusion tubes,” said Christian Habring, industrial equipment sales manager at framag. “In other words, single-tube billet saws and layer saws, as well as drilling machines for centre holes of the sawn billets, even for high-alloy materials. More and more manufacturers are converting their production lines to circular saw technology, and due to the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of this cutting process. The saws are particularly important for both seamless and extrusion tube plants.” framag Industrieanlagenbau GmbH – Austria Fax: +43 7683 5040 86

framag has already delivered a number of saws to South Asia – most recently, two tube-layer saws for Maharashtra Seamless Ltd (MSL) and one for Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL). MSL and BHEL are among the largest manufacturers of seamless tubes in India. framag impressed the Indian companies with its high technological expertise and with the customised engi- neering of upstream and downstream system components. The industrial equipment builder supplied two type KKS 1250L saws for cutting tubes in layers for a new MSL seamless tube plant, as well as one for BHEL in an existing line. The saws were integrated into the lines after the cooling bed. The carbide tube-layer sawing machines cut

the tubes in layers to customer-ready sales lengths. The severing of top and bottom scrap is also more efficient with the tube-layer saw. framag supplies customised com- prehensive packages for its custom- ers, including in the field of engineer- ing. In this case, the engineering of additional facilities and scrap dis- posal was also provided for MSL and BHEL. Another benefit of the framag saws are the Hydropol ® base frames. The Hydropol material, developed by framag, ensures optimum vibration damping
