PRODUCT REVIEWS
Pressure vessel production
Pressure vessels are essential components in various industries including oil and gas , petrochemical , chemical and food processing . These enclosed containers play a critical role in the storage and transportation of liquids and gases at pressures significantly higher or lower than the surrounding pressure . In the oil and gas industry , tanks and pressure vessels serve multiple purposes which make them invaluable assets for ensuring efficient operations .
“ Pressure vessels are also essential for maintaining required pressure levels and preventing leaks or failures , so it is imperative that they are fabricated with highquality rolling and forming equipment ( such as our solutions ) to meet industry standards and ensure safety in operations ,” the Faccin Group told ISMR .
Building pressure vessel shells
FACCIN ’ s HAV three-roll variable axis plate rolls are advanced and powerful electronic three-roll bending rolls .
“ The HAV series combines rolling power and maximum pre-bending precision , ensuring high performances in less time . The special variable geometry configuration makes it suitable for medium-heavy and heavy rolling processes for plates with thicknesses of up to 300mm . The plate roll HAV series delivers impressive results from processing a variety of high-tensile steels ,” explained the Italian manufacturer .
Four-roll plate bending machines , with linear or planetary guides , are also suitable for the construction of pressure vessel shells .
“ The FACCIN 4HEL and 4HEP series are designed for greater productivity as they are rapid and precise as well as being easy to use . The four-roll plate rolls are the ideal solution for mass production , high volumes and repetitive production in automatic cycles ,” the Faccin Group highlighted .
All models can be equipped with the latest accessories and Siemens CNCs for 24 / 7 productivity .
