Tosçelik selects Thermatool Welding Systems

One of Turkey’s leading producers of precision steel pipe, has initiated start-up of its new tube and pipe production mills in Dilovasi utilising induction welding systems manufactured, delivered and installed by Thermatool.

Thermatool currently has 275 Solid State welders in Turkey and with this prestigious sale Toscelik now has a total of nearly 40 pieces of Thermatool equipment in operation, which demonstrates the strength of its ongoing relationship.

Thermatool’s range of CFI and CFD induction welders were selected and installed at the Osmaniye plant with notable benefits applied from the HCT (Haz Control™ Technology) Welder. The units supplied to Toscelik utilise variable frequency and dual (induction and contact) functionality built into a number of systems.

Thermatool Sales Manager Mr Jon West comments “Variable Frequency gives Tosçelik the ability to produce tube and pipe from several different materials, all on the same mill, wherever possible using existing weld rolls and the same basic mill set-up.” Mr West continues “We also recommended and specified two CFD dual induction / contact welders which provide two welding process’s in one system with quick change capability.”

Mr Suhat Korkmaz, of Tosçelik adds:“In order to insure our production quality we always prefer to use high technology equipments in our plants. We are using various types of Thermatool heating and welding equipments in our existing tube mills for many years successfully. Since we achieved good results, also we are happy with the after-sales services of Thermatool, we chose new series of high-technology Thermatool equipments in our new tube mill investment.”
