Pressure vessels are integral parts of diverse sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and food processing. These enclosed containers play a vital role in safely storing and moving liquids and gases at pressures well above or below the ambient pressure. Within the oil and gas industry, tanks and pressure vessels serve numerous functions, making them indispensable assets for seamless operations.
These containers play a crucial role in maintaining optimal pressure levels and preventing any potential leaks or failures. To ensure the highest level of safety during operations, it is imperative to fabricate these vessels using state-of-the-art rolling and forming equipment. The Faccin Group, industry leader in metal forming equipment, offers top-quality solutions that meet industry standards and guarantee utmost safety.
Plate Rolling Equipment to build pressure vessel shells
The FACCIN’s HAV 3-roll variable axis plate rolls are recognised worldwide as the most advanced and powerful model of electronic 3-roll bending rolls. The HAV series combines rolling power and maximum pre-bending precision, assuring high performances in less time. The special variable geometry configuration makes it the preferred choice for medium-heavy and heavy rolling processes for plates with thicknesses up to 300mm.The plate roll HAV series stands out as the top performer, delivering unmatched results across a vast variety of high tensile steels.
On the other hand, 4-roll plate bending machines, with linear or planetary guides, are also a perfect rolling solution for the construction of pressure vessel shells. FACCIN’s 4HEL and 4HEP series guarantee greater productivity as they are fast and precise besides being easy to use. The four roll plate rolls are the ideal solution for mass production, high volumes, repetitive production in an automatic cycle.
All models can be equipped with cutting-edge accessories and Siemens CNCs to ensure 24/7 productivity.
Manufacturing of Pressure Vessel Heads
To complete the pressure vessel line, the group provides a wide range of Boldrini® and Faccin® automated dishing presses with manipulators and flanging machines, designed to meet the diverse needs of pressure vessel manufacturers. The machines possess remarkable capabilities, with the ability to handle head thicknesses ranging from 2mm to over 80mm in cold forming and up to 100mm in hot forming. Furthermore, they can manufacture hemispherical heads, torispherical heads, and ellipsoidal heads, which are essential components of pressure vessels.
The Group
For over six decades, the Faccin Group has remained at the forefront of the metal forming industry, positioning itself as a global leader in the manufacturing of top-quality metal forming machines. The group’s unwavering commitment and dedication to excellence are evident through its three leading brands – FACCIN, BOLDRINI, and ROUNDO, which offer a vast array of plate rolls, angle rolls, dished end lines, and integrated solutions for rolling, bending, and forming metal sheets, profiles, and heads.
