Pipe end peeling system

A specialized cutback finishing tool designed for 3LPE/3LPP coated pipes. The system removes the PE/PP layer over a specific cutback length while precisely preserving the epoxy (FBE) layer, creating a clean and controlled pipe end preparation solution.

Solution:

Selmers developed an advanced knife peeling system that removes the top PE/PP coating through a controlled rotational process. The system ensures precise coating removal for optimal pipe joint preparation in pipeline construction and coating applications.

Key Features:

  • Dual Knife System
    • Coarse knife for primary coating removal
    • Fine knife for precision edge finishing
    • Independently adjustable knife mechanisms
  • Cutback Length Configuration
    • Adjustable range: 50 – 300 mm
    • Precision length setting
    • Digital length control interface
  • Knife Angle Specification
    • Customizable knife angles
    • Ranges from 15° to 45°
    • Angle-specific tooling available
  • Optional Shredder System
    • Integrated coating strip disposal
    • High-efficiency waste management
    • Compact design for easy installation
  • Optional infra-red Heaters
    • Temperature-controlled heating elements
    • Softens coating material for smooth removal
    • Integrated temperature management system

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Joint Quality
    • Creates perfect epoxy toe for welding
    • Improves pipeline connection integrity
    • Reduces potential for coating defects
  • Operational Flexibility
    • Compatible with PE and PP coatings
    • Accommodates multiple pipe diameters
    • Minimizes equipment changeover time
  • Precision Performance
    • Accurate cutback length control
    • Consistent coating removal
    • Repeatable high-quality results
  • Cost-Effective Solution
    • Reduces manual labor
    • Minimizes material waste
    • Low maintenance requirements
  • Seamless Integration
    • Designed for Selmers coating plant ecosystem
    • Plug-and-play compatibility
    • Enhances overall production efficiency

How It Works:

  1. Pipe Positioning:
    • Pipe loaded onto rotation units
    • Precise alignment established
  2. Coating Removal Process:
    • Pipe begins controlled rotation
    • Infra-red heaters activate, softening coating
    • Coarse knife applied with controlled force
    • Knife travels along predetermined cutback length
  3. Finishing Stage:
    • Fine knife deployed for precision edge
    • Ensures epoxy layer remains intact
    • Optional brushing system for final cleaning
