Empl-Anlagen has many years of experience and solid knowledge in classical pipeline construction. Examples of the applications include: pharmaceutical industry (GMP – compliant installation), food industry, demineralised water lines, ultrapure water distributions e.g. WFI lines, CIP piping, process piping, eg, compressed air lines, steam supply, etc.

Endoscopy

Besides the external visual inspection of the welds even the inside of the tube can be checked visually by endoscopy. A several-meter-long, flexible endoscope transmits the image of the root greatly magnified on a screen, without any doubt the existing anomalies or temper colors can be detected. The finding is digitally and permanently documented. The evaluation of the recording and of the welds is carried out by fully trained and qualified personnel with special welding skills. We own two endoscopes, so the installation test allows a punctual completion of projects.

Orbital welding

Orbital welding machines allow welding of pipes with machine precision. We use orbital and ARC orbital welding equipment (for example, in the pharmaceutical and beverage area). The welding process can be documented and printed out. Numerous, most modern accessories and a variety of different welding heads guarantee the fulfillment of individual needs. With the orbital welding equipment, we may have different tube diameters and wall thicknesses welded (of diameter 10 mm to 230 mm). In addition, we can connect our residual oxygen meter (ORBmax Orbitalum) to ensure controlled welding under oxygen exclusion.

Roll bending and profile bending

Roll bending is a process for shaping metal sheets or metal profiles. It is often used to form metal sheets or profiles into a desired curved shape. In roll bending, the metal is passed between two or more rollers, whereby the rollers exert the desired bending force on the material. The rollers are shaped in such a way that they create the desired bend. Depending on the type of roll bending, different shapes and radii can be created.

In profile bending, a metal profile is brought into a desired curved shape. This process is often used to bend metal pipes, bars or profiles. Profile bending usually involves the use of special bending machines that use pressure and bending forces to give the metal profile the desired shape. The bending machines can use different rollers, dies or tools to bend the profile.

There are various factors to consider when roll bending and profile bending, such as the material thickness, the bending radii, the bending forces and the machine settings. It requires skill and experience to achieve the desired bending results.

Application examples:

• arches and tiering
• U-bends for heat exchangers (serial geometry change)
• conduction modules for mechanical engineering
• safety guards
• curved brackets
• rings
