seamless tubes.

•
•
Two Bronx 6-roll cold pipe straighteners
A Bronx 10-roll hot pipe straightener
Taylor-Wilson end facers
Two Taylor-Wilson double head hydrotesters
Two Taylor-Wilson double head drifters
The equipment will be designed to process over
500,000 tons per year of high-quality seamless
tubular products of 73 - 273mm in diameter, mainly
designated to oil and gas applications according to
international API and Russian GOST standards. The
startup of production is scheduled for 2021.
Seamless pipe must be resistant to the pressure and
loads required for extraction of oils and gas resources
under extreme weather conditions. Bronx and Taylor-
Wilson finishing equipment from Fives are proven
solutions for tube and pipe makers.
Bronx straighteners are designed to sustain the loads
associated with the straightening of thick and thin
wall, welded or seamless plain or upset tubes and
pipes at high speeds, in either hot or cold conditions.
In the last 15 years, over 40 heavy-duty straightening
machines that meet API and GOST standards were
installed in Russia, China, Europe and the Americas.
The Taylor-Wilson hydrotester is equipped with
a double head to maximize plant production. It
features heavy duty design for long life and low
maintenance with a fully automatic operation.
