The FXB6-30 Flange Facer is modular, compact, and of lightweight construction, designed to resurface a range of flange faces ranging from 153 mm (6") internal diameter to 762 mm (30") external diameter. It is internally mounted and comes as standard with three clamping modules. Driven by a 1.7kW (2.3hp) pneumatic motor, the ID Mount FXB6-30 pneumatic flange-facing machine is a true workhorse and offers reliable power every time.
Additional versatility is offered by the dovetail slide-mounted tool post, which may be swivelled when machining V grooves.
The durable feed gearbox on this machine offers four automatic feed rates to ensure accurate machine settings for a variety of uniform flange face finishes and overall surface uniformity. The flange facer machine's capability can be expanded via a host of “Bolt-on” extras, like the FXB6-30 Tube Sheet Mounting Kit, which is available on request. Cutting head changes are easy to make if necessary.
Maintain your new or existing flanges to improve sealing, reduce leaks and extend the life of joints. Flange face machining removes scratches, dents, or corrosion from pipe flanges and will increase joint integrity, achieve a perfect seal, reduce overall downtime and improve reliability.
Flange facing operations are integral to the functionality of pipelines, where the transport of liquids and gases relies on secure connections. In pharmaceutical production, precise sealing is critical to maintaining product integrity and safety. Refineries and petrochemical facilities depend on effective flange facing to guarantee the reliability of their operations, as they deal with highly volatile substances.
Beyond these primary industries, flange facing also plays a vital role in various other fields, particularly during the shutdown and maintenance phases of plant operations. Industries such as fluid control, shipyards, tube processing, defence, diesel engineering, high-purity applications, and the nuclear industry all incorporate flange-facing processes. In each of these sectors, the ability to achieve reliable, leak-proof seals through effective surface machining is essential for operational efficiency, safety, and compliance with industry standards.
