FI26 ID Mount Flange Facer Application in Chemical Equipment Manufacturing
CASE INTRODUCTION
Tianhua Institute (Nanjing), a subsidiary of Sinochem Holdings, is a leading manufacturer in the pressure vessel and chemical equipment industry, with strict quality standards for fabrication and sealing.Pressure vessels operate under high pressure, high temperature, and corrosive conditions, where flange defects—scratches, warping, or wear—can cause leakage, downtime, and costly rework.
To solve this, the MT Portable Machine team quickly deployed the FI26E Flange Facing Machine on-site in Nanjing. Based on the MM610i platform, the FI26E features a reinforced spindle for superior rigidity and precision, with a Φ700mm machining capacity.Its modular design and high-precision feed enabled fast setup, accurate alignment, and full restoration of sealing surfaces without equipment disassembly, minimizing downtime and ensuring safe, reliable operations.
