ABF3 Series Tube Expander
Features of ABF3 Series Tube Expander
- High-productivity boiler tube expander designed for applications where expansion and flaring are required.
- Sturdy construction with expansion and flare rolls self-contained inside the cage.
- Time-tested and durable tool design provides consistent performance during repeated rolling operations.
- Overlapping flare rolls help prevent ridging of the boiler tube during the flaring process.
- Integrated bearing reduces frictional buildup for smoother tube-expansion cycles.
- Bearing-supported construction helps increase the useful operating life of the tube expander.
- Provides controlled tube expansion with a uniform and consistent flare at the tube end.
- Suitable for high-production applications where boiler tube-end flaring is required.
