KEY FEATURES
Cold Cutting Technology
OD325 Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine uses non-thermal cold
cutting, ensuring smooth weld-prep surfaces without heat
distortion. It is widely applied in energy plants, offshore
platforms, and chemical facilities.
Split Frame Advantage
The split frame structure allows easy installation on in-service
pipelines. All components are secured to the frame halves,
preventing loss during operation and ensuring safe, reliable
performance.
Steel and Aluminum Body Options
The steel body version is built for strength and long life in
heavy-wall alloy pipe cutting. The aluminum option reduces operator
fatigue in high-altitude, confined-space, or mobile maintenance
projects.
Flexible Accessories and Drives
OD325 is designed for multiple accessories and supports pneumatic,
hydraulic, or electric drives. With beveling, facing, and boring
capabilities, it delivers full flexibility for industrial pipeline
applications.
