Bending pipes

Safety in every bend. So everything runs true.

As a system partner, HANSA-FLEX also offers its customers design and production of bent pipes of all kinds – quickly, collaboratively, and to absolute precision.

Fluid systems are inconceivable without bent pipes. They are essential especially where complex engineering needs to be housed in tight spaces. In view of that fact, HANSA-FLEX has established a dedicated pipe bending centre which customers can call upon through any of the company’s branches. The centre focuses on the production of precision pipes for small and medium-sized industrial concerns, from a wide variety of materials and featuring all commonly used connection techniques – and of course all in tried and proven HANSA-FLEX quality.

Specialist staff can also be called upon at short notice to provide customers with on-site advice and support. Services include the production of 3D views and computer-aided feasibility studies. Pipes are produced individually or mass-produced according to prototype or drawing. Based on the agreement, we handle the production of complete modules with hydraulic modules or even supply assembly-ready pipe sets. This includes just-in-time delivery to the assembly location. Whether as original equipment or replacement parts: it’s a full-service package customers know they can rely on.

The pipe bending centre – specialists with hydraulics know-how

At the pipe bending centre, specialist partners provide HANSA-FLEX branches with technical back-up based on their extensive know-how in fluid technology. This is a key resource in delivering professional advice to specify pipes and providing collaborative support all the way through to the manufacture of single items or mass production runs. Complete pipe sets can be delivered straight to the assembly line based on pre-compiled parts lists – quickly, reliably, and flexibly, when short-notice modifications need to be implemented.

Ultimate precision – production by mandrel

Computer-controlled bending machines produce pipes in lengths up to 6,000 mm in just seconds, in black and galvanized hydraulic piping, stainless steel, copper or aluminium. The pipes are bent using a mandrel, so as to prevent narrowing of their cross-section and to safeguard laminar operation of the subsequent fluid system. The extreme manufacturing accuracy meets the highest precision demands over the full length.
