Mingori petroleum-type pipe benders at a glance
Mingori benders, designed for petroleum-type applications, are capable of push-bending API and ASA pipes ranging from 4″ to 8″ (Ø 114.3 to 219 mm). PE-coated pipes can also be bent. A 30-ton double-acting cylinder works on a long frame, and the pipe runs on side rollers and forms. This setup allows for unlimited bending angles. The minimum bending radius is 2 m; there is no maximum.
Three models are available: the OB 50 P with a hand pump, the OBMP 150 with a 400-volt electric motor for workshops, and the OBMEP 150 with a gasoline engine for sites without power. The cylinder has two speeds: fast when advancing without a load and slow when under a load. An eccentric device releases the pipe after bending.
