Hunting for a tube mill for sale? Read this before you buy.

If you’re scanning the market for a tube mill for sale, here’s a field note from years of walking factory floors: your mill is only as fast as its front end. The unsung hero is the decoiler. A double-head unit eliminates line stops and keeps your forming, welding, and sizing sections fed without drama. Today I’m looking at a workhorse I’ve seen in action more than once—the Double Head Steel Coil Decoiler (4-ton) from Hebei, China—and how it fits into modern ERW production.

Why the double-head matters

In a typical ERW line, the bottleneck is coil changeover. A double-mandrel decoiler lets you prep the next coil while running the current one, then flip and weld in seconds. Many customers say changeovers drop from 6–8 minutes to ≈60–90 seconds. That translates to higher uptime—actually, in real-world audits we’ve seen 4–9% throughput gain on mid-speed lines.

Where it fits in the process

Process flow (simplified): coil loading → double-head decoiling → coil end shear & butt welding → accumulator → forming → HFI/ERW welding → scarfing → sizing → NDT (UT/ET) → cut-off → hydrostatic (where applicable) → packing. Materials range from low-carbon steel (ASTM A1011/A1018) to HSLA; occasional stainless runs are possible if the line is spec’d for it.

Product snapshot: Double Head Steel Coil Decoiler (4 Ton)

Origin: RM604 SHENXING BUILDING, XINHUA STREET, SHIJIAZHUANG CITY, HEBEI PROVINCE, CHINA CN, ZIP 050000. I visited the area once; not fancy, but the machinery I saw was solid, practical, and—surprisingly—quite serviceable.

Spec Typical Value (≈ / may vary)
TypeDouble-mandrel, continuous decoiling
Load capacity4 t per mandrel (≈8 t total prepared)
Coil ID rangeØ 450–610 mm (customizable)
Max coil OD≈ Ø 1,500 mm
Strip width60–600 mm (line dependent)
Line speed integrationUp to 120 m/min typical ERW lines
Drive / controlAC motor + inverter, dancer/loop control
Service life10–15 years with PM (bearings/clutches wear parts)
CertificationsISO 9001 factory; CE on request

Testing and acceptance usually follow ISO 230/ANSI tooling checks for runout, and line trials include loop stability, strip tracking, and emergency braking. For tubing destined for ASTM A513 or EN 10219, NDT and dimensional checks occur downstream—but the decoiler’s constant feed reduces weld upset variability.

Who should consider this setup?

  • ERW tube/pipe mills targeting ASTM A513, EN 10219, or API 5L (structural or light mechanical).
  • Furniture, HVAC, racking, guardrail, and general fabrication shops aiming for higher uptime.
  • Lines adding accumulators and butt welders to shift from batch to near-continuous runs.

Field data (indicative)

After switching to a double-head, one mid-size plant reported +6.2% OEE, scrap down ≈1.3%, and operators… less stressed. To be honest, that last part matters more than we admit.

Vendor snapshot (quick comparison)

Vendor Key Feature Certs Lead Time Support
Ais Tube Mill (Hebei) Double-head 4 t; robust weld-prep integration ISO 9001; CE optional ≈6–10 weeks Remote + on-site commissioning
Vendor B (EU) High-spec drives; premium guarding CE, ISO 9001 ≈10–16 weeks Strong EU network
Vendor C (India) Cost-optimized, modular frames ISO 9001 ≈8–14 weeks Hybrid (remote-first)

Customization and add-ons

Options include hydraulic expansion, pneumatic hold-down arms, coil car, pit vs. overhead loop, safety PLCs, and quick-change mandrel sleeves. For buyers searching tube mill for sale, I’d match the decoiler to your strip width and accumulator style first, then finalize cut-off and NDT requirements (ASTM/EN/API).

Bottom line

If you want a tube mill for sale that doesn’t get hamstrung by coil changes, start the conversation with the decoiler. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the heartbeat that keeps production honest.
