The basis of the PBM series is formed by the new PBM-4 with clamping range from 1/2” to 4” (20 mm - 116 mm outside diameter).

The number in the title of the machine refers to the maximum clamping range in inches for that particular machine. For example, the PBM-16 has a clamping range up to 16” (410
mm).

MAKING WELD PREPARATIONS IS A MATTER
OF SECONDS

The performance determines the choice of a machine. Wortelboersupplies the fastest working machine for machining (thick-walled) pipes made from duplex steel, stainless steel or hasteloy, for example.

The minimal handling of materials required and
the very short machining time make the PBM end preparation machines to some of the fastest on the market.

SELF-CENTRING PRISM-CLAMP

A self-centring prism-clamp holds the pipe firmly in place. The clamp can be manually opened and closed rapidly using a large ratchet. The PBM-24 and PBM-30 have an electric drive as standard for the prism-clamp.

LARGE CHIP TRAY

The large chip tray has a separator to filter the chips out of the coolant. All PBM machines have a built-in pump for cooling fluid.

POWERFUL ELECTRIC MOTORS

The more than adequate electric motors of the PBM- 4 and PBM-6 have two speeds and can be operated very simply. As well as the two speed motor, the PBM-12 and PBM-16 also have a gearbox allowing simple switching to a total of four speeds.
