As one of the leading companies in electric resistance welded (ERW) pipe production, Utva Silosi AD Kovin’s investment will include a new line to be installed by Danieli Centro Tube, which will produce high-precision pipes for structural and automotive applications. The line will have the capacity to produce pipes with an outer diameter of up to 50 mm and a maximum wall thickness of 3 mm.
The new production line is planned to operate at speeds exceeding 160 meters per minute, while aiming to deliver high efficiency and consistent product quality through advanced automation solutions.
The line will feature a double-mandrel decoiler and strip joining system for continuous coil feeding, enabling uninterrupted production. Pipe welding will be carried out using a latest-generation high-frequency welding machine and a specially designed welding stand.
In subsequent stages, sizing stands enabling the production of square, rectangular, and round sections, along with Turkish-head type forming and straightening units, will be utilized.
The line will also be equipped with an integrated non-destructive testing system, a flying saw ensuring high cutting quality, and a spear-type packaging system supported by an automatic strapping unit.
While the facility is currently at the design stage, the new line is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2027. With this investment, Utva Silosi AD Kovin aims to expand its product portfolio by increasing the production of high-quality pipes, particularly for demanding applications.
