A respected customer in Poland required pipe cutting equipment/machinery to assist them in the construction of a transmission pipeline project.
Transmission pipelines are used to transport crude oil and natural gas from their respective gathering systems to refining, processing, or storage facilities. Transmission pipelines also transport refined petroleum products and natural gas to customers, for use or for further distribution.
For such a large and industrial project, they would require equipment that was manufactured for versatility, portability, ease of use and ensured safety for the operator in a hazardous environment.

Each split frame can be set up to cut, bevel, cut and bevel simultaneously, counterbore, face and much more. Using the advanced accessories, it is easy to change from cutting to counterboring or flange facing. It only takes a few minutes to interchange from one accessory to another.

The KPA low clearance split frame line covers the standard pipe range and larger requirements can be manufactured on request. Designed for ease of use and fast and easy set up – we offer 4 types to handle every situation; pneumatic, hydraulic, electric and the option of servo-electric.
