Fives’ Solutions for a Major Tube
Production Project in Russia
Fives, a global industrial engineering group, has been
contracted to provide cutting-edge solutions for a
large-scale investment project in Russia.
Fives, having expertise in both welded tube
production lines and finishing solutions, was
entrusted by a leading Russian tube maker to
design and manufacture process and finishing
equipment for a tube production facility.
The scope of supply includes three Bronx
straighteners, two OTO accumulators for tube mills,
and five Taylor-Wilson finishing products (a three
head hydrotester, a set of end facers, a dual drifting
machine, and two coupling leak testers for a pipe
threading line).
The Taylor-Wilson three headed hydrotester features
a robust yet efficient design that maximizes plant
production. The Bronx straightener is a rigidly
constructed machine, enabling tube manufacturers
to meet criteria for reliability a nd accuracy. The OTO
accumulator is a durable machine, allowing for high
production capacity.
Fives has been very active in the Russian tube and
pipe market for more than 40 years, having supplied
straighteners, hydrotesters, leak testers, end facing
machines, as well as welded tube mill lines and cut-
off systems.
