Split Frame Clamshell Pipe Cutting Machine 80–230 mm (3"–8") with Cold Cutting Technology and Multiple Drive Options

Efficient Performance With Cold Cutting Technology

The OD-230 split frame pipe cutting machine covers pipe diameters from 80 mm to 230 mm, providing excellent adaptability for medium-size pipeline projects. Its clamshell body allows fast installation even on in-service pipelines, making it highly effective for field maintenance. The machine applies cold cutting to avoid spark hazards, material hardening, and distortion. It is extensively used in oil and gas refineries, shipyard repairs, offshore drilling platforms, and chemical processing plants. Operators can select from multiple beveling tools to perform precise end preparation, weld removal, or flange facing. Rugged construction and efficient performance make the OD-230 a trusted tool for both workshop fabrication and onsite pipe machining.

OD230 Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine applies cold cutting for high-precision pipe preparation. By avoiding flame or thermal cutting, it prevents structural changes in metal, guaranteeing safe and high-quality weld joints.

The split frame clamshell makes OD230 suitable for pipeline repair and construction. It can be mounted on in-service pipelines without interrupting flow, allowing fast installation and minimal downtime.

OD230 offers two body materials: steel for extreme strength in heavy-duty cutting, and lightweight aluminum for operators working in overhead or restricted environments. Both deliver durability and long service life.

With modular accessories, OD230 supports beveling, facing, and counter-boring. Operators can select pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive options for maximum adaptability in diverse field conditions.
