12inch 325mm ERW Tube Mill

The 12-inch ERW tube mill is an automated high-frequency welding system designed for the production of large-diameter round and shaped steel tubes (such as square and rectangular). This production line is suitable for continuous forming and welding of carbon steel and low-alloy steel strips. It is widely used in oil and gas pipelines, structural tubing, pressure pipelines, bridge foundation piling, and other applications, meeting the global demand for high-quality, medium-thick wall welded pipes.

Equipment Name

Function Description

1

Hydraulic Coil Car + Double-Cone Uncoiler

Fast coil loading and automatic decoiling with tension control, supports heavy coils.

2

Shear & Butt Welder

Connects two steel strips via automatic shearing and welding to ensure uninterrupted production.

3

Accumulator

Stores steel strip during coil changes to avoid line stoppage and maintain continuity.
