A Quiet Revolution: BEN-THOMAS Debuts Plasma Cutting in Helical Lockseam Corrugated Metal Pipe Production Line, Eliminating Burrs and Drastic Noise Reduction

Innovation Sets New Standard as Metal Spiral Corrugated Culvert Pipe Mill Achieves Clean, Silent Cuts, Enhancing Safety, Quality, and Productivity.

– BENTHOMAS, a trailblazer in heavy-duty pipe manufacturing equipment, today announces a significant technological breakthrough with the integration of advanced plasma cutting systems into its latest generation of spiral pipe production lines. This innovation, first implemented in the new Hel cor Tube Production Line, directly addresses two persistent industry challenges: the formation of sharp burrs on pipe cut ends and the high levels of operational noise associated with traditional mechanical saws.

For years, manufacturers using standard Metal Spiral Corrugated Culvert Pipe Machine Production Line equipment have contended with secondary deburring processes and stringent noise control measures in their workshops. BENTHOMAS’s R&D team has now successfully eliminated these issues by replacing conventional cutting mechanisms with a high-precision, CNC-guided plasma cutting unit.

The Plasma Cutting Advantage: Precision Meets Performance

The newly engineered Metal Spiral Corrugated Culvert Pipe Mill offers transformative benefits:

1. Burr-Free, Ready-to-Install Cuts: The high-temperature plasma arc cleanly severs the metal, leaving a smooth, beveled edge that requires no secondary finishing. Pipes produced on the Helical Lockseam Corrugated Metal Pipe Production Line are now inspection-ready straight off the line, significantly reducing post-processing labor and handling injuries from sharp edges.
2. Dramatic Reduction in Operational Noise: Plasma cutting operates at a fraction of the decibel level generated by mechanical saws or abrasive cutters. This creates a safer, more compliant, and more pleasant working environment, aligning with modern occupational health and safety standards globally.
3. Enhanced Cut Quality and Speed: The technology allows for faster, more precise cuts with superior squareness and minimal heat-affected zone distortion. This ensures perfect fit-up during on-site culvert assembly and maintains the structural integrity of the pipe end.
4. Intelligent Synchronization: The plasma cutter is fully synchronized with the line’s PLC, ensuring accurate cut lengths and seamless operation within the continuous production flow of the Hel cor Tube Production Line.

Executive Insight on the Innovation

“Our mission has always been to innovate where it matters most for our clients—solving real-world production headaches,” stated [Ben Chief Innovation Officer at BENTHOMAS]. “The integration of plasma cutting into our Helical Lockseam Corrugated Metal Pipe Production Line isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete rethinking of the final manufacturing step. We’re delivering not just a faster line, but a smarter, safer, and cleaner one. The feedback from early adopters confirms that this directly improves their workshop efficiency and end-product quality.”

Impact on the Culvert Manufacturing Industry

This advancement provides pipe producers with a tangible competitive edge:

· Lower Operational Costs: Eliminates deburring stations and associated labor.
· Improved Workplace Compliance: Eases adherence to noise regulations.
· Higher Quality Assurance: Delivers a superior, more consistent pipe finish.
· Increased Production Uptime: Faster, cleaner cuts contribute to higher overall line throughput.
