Bending Machines for Pipeline Construction

Maats offers a range of bending machines available for both rental and sale, designed for the cold bending of steel pipes in pipeline construction projects. These machines are engineered to deliver precise, consistent bends while maintaining the structural integrity of the pipe.

Cold bending is a critical process in pipeline installation, allowing pipes to follow the natural contours of the terrain without the need for welding multiple sections. Our bending machines are suitable for various pipe diameters and wall thicknesses, making them a reliable solution for a wide range of applications.

In the sections below, you will find more detailed information about the different types of bending machines available and their specific capabilities.

Bending Sets

Maats supplies high-quality bending sets for pipeline construction, available for both rental and purchase. For every machine in our range, we offer a compatible bending set that can be installed directly into your bending machine.
Are you looking for a set to match your bending machine? To ensure availability and the correct fit, it is essential that you provide the brand and type of your machine when submitting a request. Contact us to discuss your requirements and find the right solution for your project.

Mandrels

A mandrel is a vital component in the process of bending steel pipes, especially in pipelines with thick walls or large diameters. Its primary function is to support the interior of the pipe during bending, preventing deformation and ensuring that the pipe maintains its round shape and structural integrity.

Angle measuring

The Maats WM23 is a precise and reliable bending angle measurement system, designed as an essential component in the pipe bending process for pipeline construction. It ensures accurate measurement and control of bending angles during the cold bending of steel pipes, contributing to consistent, high-quality results.

By providing real-time feedback, the WM23 helps operators achieve the required bend with greater precision, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall efficiency on-site. Its robust design makes it suitable for use in demanding field conditions.

The Maats WM23 is available for both rental and sale and can be integrated into your bending setup as part of a complete solution.

Internal bending 18 – 32 inches

The Maats Internal Bending Machine is the world’s first pipe bending system capable of cold bending steel pipes from the inside. This pioneering technology is ideally suited to pipes with external insulation — such as those used in district heating and cooling networks, heated crude oil pipelines, and other applications where the medium must remain within precisely controlled temperature limits.

Compressor Sets

A compressor set provides the essential air supply needed to operate internal line-up clamps and mandrels during pipe welding and bending operations. Consistent and reliable air pressure ensures smooth, precise, and safe performance, making the compressor an indispensable support unit for every pipeline construction project.
