OD325 Portable Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine – Cold Cutting
Clamshell System
The OD325 Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine is a robust cold
cutting solution developed for precise pipe cutting and beveling on
6" to 12" outer diameter pipelines. Built with a reinforced
split-frame clamshell structure, the machine can be mounted
directly around the pipe, allowing safe and efficient machining
without removing or relocating the pipeline.
Designed for demanding industrial sectors including oil and gas
transmission, power generation facilities, shipbuilding yards, and
petrochemical plants, the OD325 delivers clean, repeatable cuts
that support high-quality weld preparation. The cold cutting
process avoids thermal stress, sparks, and metallurgical changes,
ensuring compliance with strict safety and quality requirements.
To suit different working environments, the OD325 is available with
pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive options, making it equally
effective for on-site maintenance, plant shutdowns, and workshop
fabrication. Its portable configuration allows reliable operation
in tight spaces, elevated work areas, and remote job sites,
improving productivity while maintaining operator safety.

Pipe Beveling Machine in Chemical Industry Applications
In the chemical and petrochemical industry, pipeline safety and
sealing performance are critical due to the transport of corrosive,
high-pressure, and flammable media. A pipe beveling machine
provides precise cold cutting and bevel preparation that ensures
high-quality weld joints, minimizing the risk of leakage and
operational downtime. Unlike flame cutting, the cold cutting
process eliminates sparks, heat damage, and material hardening,
which is essential in hazardous chemical environments where safety
standards are strict.
Whether during scheduled maintenance, emergency shutdowns, or plant
expansions, the machine enables operators to prepare pipelines
quickly and accurately, even in confined or elevated spaces. Its
clamshell design allows on-site installation without disassembling
the pipeline, saving time and reducing production interruptions.
With multiple drive options--pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric--the
beveling machine adapts to different working conditions within
chemical plants.
Compact, portable, and reliable, it is the trusted solution for
maintaining pipeline integrity and ensuring smooth, safe operations
in chemical processing facilities.
