Bending Mandrel

Arabian Equipment The Pneumatic Wedge Mandrel is used to develop specifically to meet the bending requirements of heavy-wall and high - yield grade pipe.The PWM applies powerful radial support to the inner walls, yet remains flexible lengthwise to bend with the pipe. It is positioned and controlled manually within the pipe by a reach rod. It is particularly successful in providing a smooth bend with no 'out-of-round'.

SALIENT FEATURES

Powerful and fast performance.
Simple Design.
Low maintenance cost for few parts.
Double angle hardened steel wedges provide fast approach and powerful locking action.
Several wall thickness without changing shims shall be accommodated.
The travel wheels are pivotally mounted to provide self levelling of the mandrel in pipe.
Travel wheels raise from the pipe wall when the mandrel is expanded.
PWMs require compressed air at 200 psi. This normally is provided by the compressor supplied with the mandrel, if not supplied normal air compressor may be used. Wider range of bending from 6 inches to 24 inches.
