Conveyor and Run Out Table for Continuous Tube Production

Feb . 04, 2026 00:00

Share:

The Conveyor and Run Out Table is an essential auxiliary system in an ERW Tube Mill, designed to transfer welded pipes smoothly between processes and to safely discharge finished tubes after cutting.
Although it does not participate directly in forming or welding, it plays a critical role in maintaining continuous production, stable pipe handling, and efficient workflow.


What Is a Conveyor and Run Out Table?

A conveyor and run out table consists of a series of rollers, a supporting frame, and either a driven or non-driven system. Its main function is to support and transport steel pipes along the production line without damaging the pipe surface or affecting alignment.

After pipes are welded or cut to length, the run out table ensures controlled movement, orderly arrangement, and smooth transfer to the next process.

Position in an ERW Tube Mill Line

In a typical ERW tube mill, the conveyor and run out table is installed at key transition points, such as:

  • After the tube mill or cooling section

  • After the cold saw or flying saw, as a finished tube run out table

  • Before inspection, collecting, or packing systems

💡It acts as the connection bridge between machines, enabling stable and continuous operation.

Customization Capability

Yes, conveyor and run out tables are usually customized.
The design is matched to the actual working conditions of the ERW tube mill, including:

  • ✅Pipe diameter and wall thickness

  • ✅Pipe length and single pipe weight

  • ✅Production speed and line capacity

  • ✅Workshop layout and equipment connection

Customized design ensures stable pipe movement and seamless integration with upstream and downstream equipment.


Is It an Essential Part of an ERW Tube Mill?

Yes.
While the conveyor and run out table is classified as an auxiliary device, it is indispensable for practical production. Without a proper run out system, pipes cannot be transferred or discharged safely, and production continuity and efficiency will be affected.

For this reason, conveyor and run out tables are considered a standard and necessary component of modern ERW tube mill lines.
