Tube Forming Section
The forming section is the core of your tube mill line. Engineered for precision, MTM’s advanced tube mill technology transforms flat strips into welded tubes with unmatched quality and speed.
Custom-built equipment for precision tube forming
MTM’s tube forming sections are known for their advanced design, which enables seamless switching in the tube mill setup. Perfected with over 50 years of experience, this model helps operators quickly adapt and deliver in a fast-paced production environment.
Each roll set of the forming section is designed specifically for your needs, based on the specific shape and size of the tube, to optimize the quantity of roller sets to meet your production needs.. Our systems use the HF welding technology to transform strip into welded tube, which is then progressively transformed into the desired profile.
