Aogang Machinery Co., Ltd.
The customer is a Mexican oil industry enterprise serving the oil and gas sector. To supply its pipe manufacturing facility with high-quality slit strip steel, they procured a customized high-speed slitting line from Aogang. The equipment was designed to meet three core requirements:
High production capacity: Continuous strip supply for two pipe production lines
High precision: Ensure consistent quality and dimensional accuracy of pipes for oil and gas transmission
High reliability: Minimize downtime, maintain uninterrupted production, and ensure supply chain stability
Continuous high-speed operation since commissioning
Near-zero unplanned downtime, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and operational costs
Fully meets the oil & gas industry’s strict requirements for equipment reliability and delivery consistency
Dual slitter head system enables back-to-back changeovers with two independent slitting units
Reduces tooling change time by approximately 66%, greatly improving equipment utilization and flexibility
Allows fast adaptation to multiple pipe size production needs
Designed for high-speed mass production
Slitting width accuracy: ±0.1 mm, burr height ≤ 0.03 mm
Consistent precision ensures welding quality and dimensional stability in downstream pipe forming
Max raw material width: 1850 mm, compatible with various oil & gas pipe dimensions
Designed annual output (single shift): approx. 70,000 tons, fully covers internal supply
Surplus capacity enables commercial sales of slit coils, creating additional revenue streams
Advanced motor and drive systems reduce power consumption while maintaining high production speed and precision, lowering operational costs and supporting sustainable manufacturing.
Parameters can be customized according to customer requirements.
