FE12 ID Mount Flange Facer Restores Small-Diameter Branch Flanges in Pressure Vessel Manufacturing
CASE INTRODUCTION
A leading manufacturer in the pressure vessel industry, specializing in modified asphalt and rubber-modified asphalt production systems, encountered a recurring challenge during equipment fabrication and handling. These systems incorporate numerous small-diameter branch flanges that are highly vulnerable to dents, scratches, and surface damage during lifting, transportation, and manufacturing. Such defects compromise sealing integrity, increase the risk of leakage, and negatively impact overall operational efficiency.
To overcome this issue, the customer adopted the FE12 Flange Facing Machine from MT Portable Machine, enabling precise on-site machining. This solution not only restored the sealing surfaces to original standards but also enhanced production reliability, minimized downtime, and ensured long-term equipment performance.
