Keel Cutter
Details
In the Gas industry, Keel Cutters are an essential tool when carrying out alterations and diversions – any instance where a circumferential cut is required on a main whether or not it has already been inserted with PE.
When fitted on the main, minimum clearance is required to allow the blade to track around the pipe delivering a clean circumferential cut in minutes. The Keel Cutters can cut steel, cast iron, ductile iron, plastic, cement and other types of pipe up to 1600mm diameter.
The Keel Cutter can also be used in preparation when welding by using a specialised bevelled angle blade.
Available for hire or purchase. Pipe cutting is also offered as a contract service.
