Combination Beading Series Tube Expander
Features of Combination Beading Series Tube Expander
- Combines the tube-expanding and tube-beading operations into one efficient tool.
- Expands and beads the boiler tube simultaneously during a single operation.
- Reduces the time required for boiler tube installation and tube-to-tube-sheet joint preparation.
- Eliminates the need for air hammers commonly used for separate tube-beading operations.
- Helps reduce operator fatigue caused by conventional hammer-based beading methods.
- Reduces excessive noise during tube installation and helps improve the working environment.
- Produces consistent tube expansion and bead formation for reliable boiler tube joints.
- Suitable for boiler manufacturing, boiler maintenance and industrial tube installation applications.
