Each equipment can be custom made according customer specifications.

REMACUT can design and manufacture dedicated machines employed in the clamping of pipes during specified process conditions.

The following picture shows a machine that has been designed to perform the clamping of sacrificial anodes on a 24" pipe applying a clamping load of 60 tons.

The process can be manually commanded and controlled by an operator through a dedicated control desk.

The machine consists of a base trolley that moves on rails through a track pinion device driven by a hydraulic motor. This trolley supports some structural parts that are designed, installed and actuated to allow the three axial movement of the clamp.

• A revolving support is installed on the trolley through a fifth wheel with the purpose to move the clamp from the pipe axis to the anode installation position and back. The rotation movement is provided through a hydraulic jack.

• A lever equipment actuated by hydraulic jacks is installed on the revolving support to lift and lower the clamp during the pipe approaching and clamping phases, and to adjust the planar position of the clamp with respect to the pipe axis.

The clamping device is installed on top of the above lever equipment so that it can be adjusted in height and position and the shocks transmitted by the processed pipe can be absorbed by the actuating hydraulic jacks.

The clamp consists of a lower frame the supports two half shells actuated by hydraulic jacks, and an hinged upper structure that is similar to the lower one and has the purpose to support other two upper shells.

The shells have the purpose to hold the sacrificial anodes. They can be opened and closed to allow the anodes installation.

The clamp subassembly is completed by the hydraulic jacks that exert the squeeze pressure on the anodes and by a mechanical blocking device that ensure the clamp closure before starting the pressing action.

The machine is completed by an electrical and control system that powers and controls all the machine functions, and by a hydraulic system powered by a dedicated hydraulic power pack that is supplied together with the machine and that can  be installed besides the machine itself.
