Thermal exchange system for tanks Half pipe positioned around the tank and positioned horizontally or vertically Horizontal and vertical configuration to reduce production costs For forming, bending and welding half pipe directly on the tank body Automatic management of process parameters Product details Among the many machines used in the construction of the entire tank there is the Full Automatic Half Pipe Forming, Bending and Welding Technology, a plant designed to manufacture the heat exchange system for the tanks. As the name itself suggests, a steel half pipe is applied to the tank after being obtained by forming a metal profile, which is positioned helically around the tank and then welded. IMCAR has developed an automatic system in both horizontal and vertical configurations, capable of drastically reducing production costs, increasing the quality and repeatability of the result. This technology consists of an automated solution for the forming, bending and welding of stainless steel channels directly on the body of the tank, or on sections of it. The first section of the plant consists of a line for forming the half pipe starting from the coil, which at the same time allows it to be curved according to the diameter of the tank. The channel is thus placed and welded directly on the external surface of the tank (second section of the machine), avoiding the spot welding operation: meanwhile the tank rotates with its own horizontal axis, in the case of horizontal technology, on motorized and idle positioners (third section of the machine), thus guaranteeing the continuity of the machining process.
