Flange Facer (portable lathe machine)

Flange Management is the package of services that provides the best possible chance of achieving a leak-free tube pipe connection. Correct assembly of a critical flange connection requires the highest quality in terms of machining and production of flanges.

Flange Facers (portable lathe machine) are suitable for the oil and gas industry, power plants, chemical plants, oil rigs and many others.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACERS:

The choice between internal or external flange facers (portable lathe machine) depends on the specific application, flange size, and accessibility. there are several parameters to consider choosing between an internal or external flange facer for specific requirement.

 

Internal Flange Facer :

These tools are designed to mount inside the flanges. They can face flanges up to 45 inch in bore size to 120 inch in outer diameter. The device is ready to use by setting up four jaw assemblies. The common model uses a pneumatic motor to power the machine which produce the torque required for facing.

This type has a compact, cylindrical design which let them fit inside the flange opening and machine the flange surfaces. Internal facers are typically suited for situations that access to the outer diameter of the flange is limited.

 

External Flange Facer :

These tools are used to grip the flange from its outer diameter by using four jaw clamping arrangement. They are designed to face the flange from outside up to 24inch.

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can determine whether an internal or external flange facer is the best for your application and ensure optimal performance and results.

They can be manufactured with hydraulic or pneumatic power based on customer needs.
