Induction preheating and tube cutting applications

Portable solutions to improve the on-site welding process

The piping cutting/beveling activity is closely linked to welding activities and consequently the need to carry out pre- and post-heating activities arises.



Nuova Simat is able to fully support this type of activity with a suite of highly specialized machines that, when combined, significantly increase not only productivity but also the quality of work.

Portable pipe cutters: ease of use and efficiency

  • 1. Portability and compactness

    The light weight and small size allow for easy transport and use in confined spaces, making it possible to carry out work directly in the field without the need to move large pipes.

  • 2. Ease of use

    The machine setup is simple and intuitive and the time required to position the machine, especially on large pipes, guarantees great ergonomics at work.

  • 3. Precision

    Thanks to their robustness and the high quality of the tools, these tools offer clean and precise cuts, minimizing the need for post-cutting finishing and ensuring better surface preparation for welding.

  • 4. Versatility

    They can be used on a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel and special alloys, increasing their applicability in various piping projects. They also allow both cutting and beveling to be performed simultaneously, halving the preparation time for the subsequent welding phases.

Portable heat treatment machines: innovation and quality

  • 1. Precise temperature control

    These machines allow for accurate control of applied temperatures, ensuring that the heat is evenly distributed and preventing deformation or damage to the pipes. They manage gradients, stasis, and perform accurate temperature controls to ensure accurate monitoring of the treatment directly on-site.

  • 2. Mobility and flexibility

    The ability to easily move these machines around the job site allows for heat treatments to be performed directly on site, without the need to transport the pipes to specialized facilities. Furthermore, the choice of various heating systems, such as ceramic resistors, infrared panels, and magnetic induction, allows you to find the most efficient system for your applications.

  • 3. Saving time and costs

    By reducing setup times and minimizing transportation, portable heat treating machines help reduce overall operating costs and speed up project completion times.

  • 4. Operational safety

    Equipped with advanced safety systems, these machines protect operators from the risks associated with heat management, contributing to an improved working environment.

Strategic combination

The combined use of portable pipe cutters and localized heat treatment machines in the manufacturing processes of piping lines represents a strategic choice for several reasons:



  1. Increased Productivity: Reduced setup times and increased accuracy allow operators to complete tasks faster and more efficiently while limiting.
  2. Improved Quality: More precise cuts and heat treatments improve the quality of welded joints, reducing the likelihood of defects and increasing the lifespan of installations. The use of these machines also significantly improves operator safety, as they will no longer be forced to use open flames or perform manual cuts with equipment that produces dust and fumes.
  3. Operational Flexibility: Reducing operational impact related to logistics and the ability to apply the machines to different types of pipes makes manufacturing operations more adaptable and responsive to project needs.
  4. Cost Reduction: Less downtime, less transportation, and reduced waste help keep overall welding costs down.
