Thatโs how much time this USA-based pressure vessel manufacturer saved when switching from manual pipe cutting to the Voortman Heavy-Duty.
They manufacture enormous pressure vessels for the oil & gas industry. For this project, the tasks included:
โ๏ธ Profiling cut-outs in a vessel
โ๏ธ Profiling respecting saddles
โ๏ธ Vessel dimension: OD = 916 mm / WT = 20 mm
โ๏ธ 16 holes with various diameters
โ๏ธ 16 saddles with various diameters (50-200 mm)
๐ข๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐: 2880 minutes โ cutting by hand
๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐: 124 minutes โ including work prep, loading, cutting, and offloading.
Imagine what you could do with an extra 46 hours per vessel.
