Radiator Folded B Type Tube Mill
This tube mill is specially designed for producing folded B type radiator aluminum flat tubes.
Our tube mills can 100% replace those aluminum pipe mills from Schoeler Germany, Millmaster USA, or Japan.
The folded tubes are produced from brazing sheet coils by a multi-step roll forming process – bringing the sheet gradually into a “B” shape. Comparing to traditional HF welded flat tubes, B-tubes have certain advantages – particularly regarding strength. The folded ends of the tube sheet are brazed inside the tube, which creates a very robust bridge between the walls. This results in higher burst pressure resistance.
And thus thinner aluminum strips can be used to decrease the material cost of radiator tubes.
Furthermore, heat transferring result of radiator cores by folded B tubes is better than that of HF seam-welded tubes.
Tube rolling moulds are designed in quick-changeable cassette type. By changing this kind of cassette, other size aluminum tubes can be produced as well.
On same cassette, rollers can be changed for other size tubes also.
This tube mill can 100% replace those aluminum tube mills from Schoeler Germany, Millmaster USA, or Mori Japan.
Production Flow
