Whenever we travel across the industry it reminds us of the saying “Survival of the FITTEST”. The good thing about our industry is that it knows the importance of “change” and also knows if it has to change it has to be by accepting the Automation and Innovation from technology.

Something similar is happening with Pressure Vessel segment, this industry is changing its older skin by adding the most innovative manufacturing ideas and concepts. In this front we at Electronica HiTech have also introduced the Dish End Flanging Machine specially designed to suit the needs of Pressure vessel and Boiler segment.

The company has successfully added the first Flanging Machine in India and it comes from one of the best manufacturer from Turkey Akyapak Makina. AKYAPAK Group is a source of pride for Bursa and Turkey with 32.000m2 covered technological manufacturing facilities. AKYAPAK, established in 1962, continues to shape technology with its 400 regularly trained experienced staff in Turkey and in the world with manufacturing plants and headquarter in Bursa, Turkey.

Electronica is offering this machine right from 10mm thick plate to 50mm thick plate and maximum plate diameter would be ranging from 3000mm to 7000mm. Also, they have successfully developed their manufacturing capability to build both WITH or WITHOUT CENTER HOLE versions.

Some of the highlights of this product would be:
Stiffness and lower vibration during flanging.

The machine frame built of high strength materials by Mig welding. The frame welded and thermally treated for the stress relieving prior to machining in order to meet tight manufacturing tolerances for appropriate assembling and maintenance.
• Both upper and lower head holders carriages slides on the main body structure for
• Both upper and lower head holders powered by hydraulic motors for vertical movement and clamps the head by hydraulic cylinders.
• Knuckle roll is powered by radial piston hydraulic motor for high speed of rotation and high torque.
• Flanging roll is powered by three cylinders for vertical and horizontal direction and slides between two main bodies.
• Both rolls are made of special grade of material and full depth heat treated.
• Main frame is undercoated by special chemical for long time corrosion resistance.
• All cylinder bodies and pistons are hardened and tempered, chrome plated and grounded.
• Centralized greasing system (manual).
• Lower supporting rolls, powered hydraulic cylinders, to support the head during flanging.
• Hydraulic system: Radial piston pump, oil tank level gauge, filter with impurity signal.
