The Russian pipe producing company United Metallurgical Company (OMK) has announced that its Chelyabinsk-based subsidiary Trubodetal is carrying out the installation of a second Suprarex SXE-P-4500 cutting machine.
The new SUPRAREX SXE-P-4500 cutting machine, together with the already existing machine, will allow Trubodetal to increase its production capacity of steel stamped weld tees.
The installation is to be completed by August 15.
Moreover, Trubodetal has completed the testing of a new German WIWA Airless 2K DuoMix 333 hot spraying unit for insulating coating at its pipeline joint sections' coating and packing workshop No. 3.
The new equipment will allow Trubodetal to work more effectively and rapidly with such a difficult insulating material as protegol.

Trubodetal is the key supplier in the CIS for constructions of oil and gas supply pipelines and main pipeline networks.
