Drive Options
The ID30 Pipe Beveling Machine is offered with three distinct drive
system configurations, providing flexibility to meet diverse
worksite conditions, power availability, and safety requirements.
Each drive type is engineered for reliable, efficient performance
in both field machining and workshop operations.
IDE30 - MT Electric Motor Drive
Powered by a 1.21 Hp / 0.9 kW industrial-grade MT electric motor,
this configuration is designed for stable, long-duration operation
in controlled environments such as fabrication shops. Operating on
220-240 V at 50/60 Hz, it delivers a consistent 65 rpm output speed
for smooth, accurate beveling.
IDB30 - Bosh Electric Motor Drive
Equipped with a 1.34 Hp / 1.0 kW Bosh motor, this version combines
durability with mechanical stability for demanding industrial use.
Supporting the same voltage and frequency range as the MT drive, it
runs at 48 rpm—optimized for heavy-duty beveling and continuous
operation.
IDP30 - Pneumatic Motor Drive
Featuring a 1.34 Hp / 1.0 kW air motor, the pneumatic version is
specifically designed for locations where electric power is
unavailable or hazardous—such as offshore platforms, petrochemical
facilities, and explosion-proof work zones. Operating at 1.3 m³/min
@ 0.6 Mpa with a speed of 66 rpm, this pneumatic pipe beveling
machine offers excellent portability, quick setup, and safe
performance in high-risk environments.
Industries and Applications
Power Generation Industry
In thermal, nuclear, wind, and hydroelectric power plants, the
pneumatic pipe beveling machine delivers precise weld end
preparation for critical high-temperature and high-pressure
pipework. Its portable, explosion-proof drive makes it ideal for
turbine overhaul, heat exchanger fabrication, and system retrofits
during planned outages.
Oil and Gas Industry
Engineered for the demanding conditions of both onshore and
offshore oil and gas operations, this machine excels in refineries,
offshore platforms, and subsea pipeline projects. The pneumatic
drive is ATEX-compliant and safe for explosive zones, enabling cold
cutting of carbon steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys under
harsh environmental conditions.
Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
Perfect for process piping systems that transport corrosive
chemicals, solvents, or high-temperature fluids, the pneumatic pipe
beveling machine ensures burr-free bevels and clean surfaces
without heat-affected zones. This preserves material integrity and
prevents microstructural changes that could compromise safety and
longevity.
Pipeline Construction and Field Maintenance
Ideal for remote installation sites and emergency pipeline repairs,
this portable machine provides spark-free, cold-cutting
beveling—critical in fire-sensitive environments. Its rapid setup
and reliable performance help maintain production schedules while
ensuring strong, leak-proof joints on-site.
