The Conveyor and Run Out Table is a downstream material handling system used in an ERW tube mill. Its main function is to support, transport, align, and buffer finished pipes after cutting, ensuring smooth and stable transfer to the next processing or packing stage.
This system is essential for maintaining continuous production, reducing manual handling, and preventing surface damage to finished tubes.
Application in ERW Tube Mill
In a standard ERW tube mill line, the Conveyor & Run Out Table is located after the cutting section.
Typical process position:
Forming & Welding → Sizing → Flying Cut-off / Cold Saw → Run Out Table & Conveyor → Inspection / Stacking / Packing
It acts as the bridge between cutting and finishing, ensuring that pipes are discharged in an orderly, controlled manner.
Main Functions
-
Safely receive pipes after cutting
-
Support hot or cold tubes without deformation
-
Transfer pipes smoothly to inspection or packing areas
-
Align pipes for easy manual or automatic handling
-
Buffer production to avoid line stoppage

FAQ – Conveyor & Run Out Table
Q1: What is the function of a conveyor and run out table?
It receives and transfers pipes after cutting, ensuring smooth discharge and orderly delivery to the finishing section.
Q2: Where is it installed in an ERW tube mill?
It is installed after the flying cut-off or saw and before inspection, stacking, or packing equipment.
Q3: Can it be customized?
Yes. Length, layout, conveyor type, and speed can be customized to match pipe size and mill speed.
Q4: What conveyor types are available?
