SFM-Series
Pipe Facing
ABOUT THE SFM-SERIES
The SUPERIOR SFM pipe facing machines are quickly adjustable to any
size within the machine’s range and can be easily set up to any bevel
configuration: stick electrode including modified J bevel, any automatic
welding bevel and transition bevels. Brush adapters eliminate both
internal and external manual buffing, grinding or sanding.
The hydraulics on the SFM are Bosch Mannesmann and the choices of
engine for the power unit are Caterpillar or Deutz.
Clamp Assembly
There are two clamp sizes
available for each pipe facing
machine model: a large
clamp and a small one. Each
clamp can handle a wide
range of pipe sizes.
The SFM pipe facing machi-
nes come with either a large
or a small clamp assembly.
Control Panel (not shown)
A control panel allows the opera-
tor to control the machine’s main
functions.
An emergency button will block
all hydraulic operations without
affecting the diesel engine of the
power unit.
Pistons
Small pistons push into the inter-
nal wall of the pipe during clamp
opening to allow for the pipe facing
machine’s alignment.
Tooling
The bearing wheel features a number
of tool-holding heads. Rotation and
forward motion allow these heads to
bevel the pipe.
The power unit’s easy-to-read control
panel controls the power unit. It is sepa-
rate from the SFM’s control panel, which
controls the pipe facing machine.
Main Frame
The main frame features a
strong metal construction to
withstand high pressure. Quick
connectors are located at the top
of the machine to easily hook it
up to the power unit.
A mesh covering on the bearing
wheel serves as a safety feature.
The guard frame on the back
protects both the control panel
and push cylinder.
Power Unit
The power unit is a diesel-powered,
independent unit which supplies the
necessary hydraulic power to the pipe
facing machine.
