Supercutter Heavy Duty Splitframe Clamshell Pipe Cutting Machines

Heavy duty splitframe clamshell cold cutting & bevelling machine

RANGE o/d 6″ – 60″

Supercutter heavy duty splitframe clamshell cutting & bevelling machines were developed to carry out pipe cutting and bevelling in some of the world’s most hostile environments such as onshore cross desert pipelines, offshore oil & gas platforms and subsea operations.

The Supercutter heavy duty splitframe clamshell lathes are ruggedly designed to work in the most arduous conditions. The split frame design enables in-line pipe to be cut and bevelled simultaneously. Various sizes of machine available to cover from 6” to 60” diameter. All types of weld prep geometry can be achieved up 60 mm wall thickness.

Upper locking jaws are marked with workable pipe diameter for easy and quick machine set up onto pipe. The unit is equipped with two copier toolboxes for following the pipe OD profile, thus minimising the bevel offset due to out of round of pipe conditions.

The standard in-built “hamster bottle” auto coolant delivery system ensures consistent tool cooling and lubrications during even the heaviest of cutting and bevelling operations on pipework of any material up to 60mm (2.36″) in thickness. the optional coolant pump, tray and filter delivers pumped coolant at user regulated rate and also acts as a swarf recovery system.
