In the oil and gas industry, for municipal systems and in processing and production facilities, HDPE and other types of plastic pipe is now the go-to material of choice. Highly durable, resistant to corrosion and damage and also resistant to build-up within the pipe, it offers a superior option to many steel and alloy pipe options.
For large diameter HDPE and other types of plastic pipe for these large-scale jobs and projects, L-M Equipment Company, Inc. has designed our own plastic pipe saw. Designed with precision cutting and full operator safety in mind, this is a saw that can be used on pipe up to 65 inches diameter and as small as 8 inches in diameter.
The Design
The design of the plastic pipe saw makes it easy to operate even in smaller physical spaces. The pipe is mounted and secured to the base of the saw stand, with the cut location directly under the blade. The blade itself is in the upright position, with the operator behind a secured guard to eliminate concerns with flying debris during the cutting process.
At the operator’s control, the blade moves down the guide to cut the specific desired location of the pipe. The operator has a clear, unobstructed view of the process for full control. Once cut, the blade is raised again by the equipment operator, allowing for repositioning of the pipe for the next cut required.
Advantages to Consider
Our plastic pipe saw has been tested and used in the petroleum industry for years, with the highest ratings from small to large companies and contractors. With the speed and precision offered with the saw, the challenges in getting a straight cut at the right position have never been easier or safer. It is also instrumental in reducing waste due to uneven or incorrect cuts, providing an advantage over other types of cutting systems.
