strip accumulator

The accumulator is a strip storing unit in the longitudinally welded pipe and formed section production.It stores certain amount of strip and leaves time for the shear welder to shear and weld the ends of the strips.The uninterrupted fluent production is thus guaranteed .Its one of the main machines in the modern pipe mill line and formed section line.

The most common section shapes are round, square and rectangular. Besides common sections, the line can also produce oval, polygon, and various heterogeneous section pipes.

The production line can be classified into four categories ,which are  API standard high-grade oil casing pipe & oil / gas transmission pipe mill (brand new  F.F pass craftswork ),straight-seam welded pipe production lines to produce pipes of small diameter but big wall thickness ,and plain liquid pipe making mill.

The HF straight-seam weled pipe mill line is designed to roll different sizes of steel strips continuously into tube blanks through roller and heat them up throught highfrequency induction or direct contract ,and then weld the tube blanks into straight-seam steel pipe.

accumulate the steel strip for the whole welded pipe mill line continuously ,cage accumulator could save working space.
