Cross Axis Pipe And Tube Straightener – Element Machinery

The Basics

Rotary pipe and tube straighteners are designed with a variety of roll configurations. In the 1970’s, the five and six-roll machine became the standard for pipe straightening. Element later that decade then came out with their innovative and technologically superior seven roll design. The Element design employs large cross sectional post dimensions for rigidity and a robust upper roll assembly to resist deflection. The lower rolls are driven with a single motor and drivetrain through a distribution box and the upper rolls much the same.

A Proven Design

Element’s brand of pipe straightener has two large bottom rolls that pivot 20 degrees in either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation and five smaller top rolls that independently traverse up and down to contact the O.D. of the pipe. All rolls are driven and Element’s unique advancement allows for fast quill response in the top rolls for straightening upset ends in the oil and gas industries. Our computerized process makes set ups far easier than those machines of old and allows for many changes per shift for higher production yields.
