Our expertise in mandrel bending ensures first-class results with tubes and hollow sections of all types. If you need a pipe bent without the walls collapsing, mandrel bending is the most effective solution. Using advanced equipment, our experienced team can bend tubes to your specifications, maintaining a consistent internal diameter along the entire length. For applications where maximum flow rate is required, with no unnecessary restrictions, we recommend mandrel bending.
Mandrel bending is faster and more economical than welding solutions, offering cost savings in excess of 50% for many applications. It is also very safe: it does not compromise the integrity of pipe walls and there is no evidence that mandrel bent pipes are weaker than cast pipes. The process is widely used in many different industries, here in Australia and across the world, and is the preferred option for small-diameter tubes with thinner walls.
We offer both steel and aluminium mandrel bending services in Australia, for pipes and square hollow sections of varying diameters. Please contact us now if you would like to discuss a specific project you would like us to complete and we can prepare a quotation for you to consider. Whatever your requirements, we are sure we can satisfy them.
