Finishing lines and individual machines

Tube and pipe making

Complete lines for tube and pipe finishing

Whatever tubes you manufacture, the chances are they require special machining before application in the field. Line pipes must be tough enough for extreme conditions with secure weld seams; oil transport tubes and pipes must feature standardized threads. To ensure these qualities, SMS group supplies everything from individual machines to complete finishing lines. Our solutions are precisely tailored to your product range and on-site facilities. That goes for both new plants and upgrades.

Concepts

From primary product to finished tubes

You can rely on SMS group for complete finishing lines as well as individual machines for seamless and welded tubes or pipes. Depending on your customers' specifications, you need various quality control equipment with widely differing performance characteristics. Similarly, it's also necessary to integrate different machining processes into the material flow. SMS finishing lines are especially designed for these applications: OCTG finishing lines, Boiler tube finishing lines, Finishing lines for general structural pipes, Heat treatment lines.

Individual machines for tube & pipe finishing

Our spectrum of finishing lines ranges from hydrostatic pipe testers for all common certification methods, through pipe end finishing machines for facing, chamfering, upsetting, or thread cutting, right up to high-performance milling and cut-off units. Also included are roll and die dressing machines. All our systems are designed for fully automatic operation and monitored by intelligent automation solutions such as MES (Manufacturing Execution System).
