Blue Valley 1/4"/6mm Tube Flanging Machine
If your current manufacturing process requires you to weld rolled angles on to the ends of your tubes to produce a flanged tube, Blue Valley Machine & Manufacturing can save you time and money. Since 1965, Blue Valley has been building a specialty machine that is used widely by tube axial fan manufacturers and a variety of other industries that require a fabricated, flanged tube in their product line. The Blue Valley Tube Flanger is easy to operate and, for example, will create a flange on the ends of a 30" (760 mm) diameter tube in 3 to 4 minutes. A clean and precise flange on one or both ends of the tube has a neater, cleaner appearance...the sign of a superior quality finished product. The standard Blue Valley Tube Flanger will flange one or both ends, individually, of prepared tubes in a range of sizes, from 15" (380 mm) up to 60" (1525 mm) in diameter. A 12" (300 mm) minimum diameter capacity is a factory installed option at time of purchase. Tube lengths, from 8" (205 mm) up to 60" (1525 mm) can be flanged with standard length upper channels. Tube thickness, from 1/16" (1.5mm) to 1/4"(6mm) can be flanged from mild steel. Other materials such as aluminum, galvanized steel and stainless steel are also suitable for use in the Blue Valley Tube Flanger. Flange heights are primarily determined by the diameter of the tube, a good rule of thumb is 7 to 8 percent of the diameter equals the maximum height of flange before the tube will distort. A material that is high in ductility will also be beneficial. A flange height of 2 1/4" (57 mm) is the maximum the machine will allow.
