Heavy fabricated steel construction is used throughout our tank assembly presses, with massive “I” beams forming their main bases. The kick-out conveyor is hydraulically operated and has built-in rollers for end-wise movement of tank shells. Steel pipe fit-up rollers, which are built into the base and mounted on anti-friction bearings, are designed to assist in the alignment and movement of the tank shells during the fabrication process. These rollers are idler-type and built in two sections, with a separation between the sections to allow for two-course vessels. The standard spacing of the sections is for two-course propane (LPG) vessels, but they can be placed according to customer requirements upon request. Hydraulic Ram pressure is applied through the pump and motor with a V-belt drive direct to the heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder. All controls are mounted on the headstock unless otherwise specified. The hydraulic system is equipped with a pressure regulator and gauge. The motor is controlled by an across-the-line start having undervoltage and overcurrent protection. Pressure is applied through ball and socket swivel joints to head cups, which reduces the tendency of the tank to move upward out of the press when pressure is applied. Swivel joint ram plated is provided with a mounting hole for head cups, but HEAD CUPS ARE NOT SUPPLIED WITH A MACHINE. The machines listed are our standard models, but we customize any of the features to meet your needs.
