Machinery for oilfield hoses

Large bore hose lathes

Our heavy-duty lathes for large-bore and marine hose production feature a series of dedicated solutions to efficiently apply rubber, fabric as well as helix-wire or cable reinforcement.

The machines are fully custom built to meet all requirements related to hose size, length, weight and type. Despite the typically large size, precision for excellent pitch control and correct application of reinforcement materials are guaranteed by robust mechanical layout and servo controlled drive between mandrel rotation and cart motion.

 

Features:

- hose range ID 2” through 64”

- mandrel rotation with angle adjustment

- mandrel supports with height adjustment

- synchronized drive with closed loop control for mandrel rotation and cart motion

- constant application force adjustment by unique device 

- hose manufacture with built-in flanges

Special equipment for lathes

Our large bore lathes for the production of oilfield and marine hoses might require special equipment and devices according to the hose design. These include:

- cable applicators with tension adjustment and spacer head 

- steel cord applicators ensuring extra-high pulling force 

- single or double helix wire applicators with preformer

- PU-layer applicator device
