Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine OD230 for Precision Cold Cutting
of Medium Pipes
OD-230 Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine
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.

KEY FEATURES
Cold Cutting Technology
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.
Split Frame Advantage
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.
Steel and Aluminum Body Options
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.
Flexible Accessories and Drives
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.
