Bull Moose Tube's Testimonial for Sweed Tube Scarf Choppers

Nearly every welded tube mill deals with having to remove the O.D. weld bead (also known as tube scarf) that is created by the forge-welding process while manufacturing tubing.

Traditionally, the tube scarf is removed with a scarfing tool and the line operator quickly grabs the scarf and feeds it on to the winder. The tube scarf process generates a high-risk of injury to surrounding workers; scarf is sharp and hot and can easily burn, cut, or grab line operators. Once the winder is full, it must be emptied and replaced, allowing opportunity for further injuries and causing production downtime.

A Sweed Tube Scarf Chopper helps to increase operator safety and production up-time by limiting the operator’s exposure to dangerous O.D. scarf, and completely eliminating the need for a winder. To use the Tube Scarf Chopper, the operator only needs to feed the scarf into the chopper once. The chopper pulls the scarf into its pinch rolls and safely chops it at line speed.

The Sweed Tube Scarf Chopper not only creates a more efficient process, it also makes the process of tube fabrication simpler, quicker, and much safer for the line operator.

The Tube Scarf Chopper is changing the industry as we know it, all while decreasing production downtime and increasing worker safety. Through customer collaboration and Sweed’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative solutions, Sweed Tube Scarf Choppers have become optimal solutions for tube and pipe mills.
