S Power
The F50 flange facing machine delivers precise sealing surface machining for pipeline flanges. Its portable design enables on-site repair without disassembly, saving time and costs.
Portable Flange Facing Without Dismantling the Line
The F50 portable flange facing machine refaces the sealing surface of pipe flanges, valve bodies and heat exchanger nozzles from 50 mm to 500 mm outside diameter. The machine is mounted directly on the workpiece, so the flange is machined in place without cutting the line, removing the valve or transporting the component to a workshop.
A worn or scored flange face is a common cause of gasket leaks at joints that are opened during maintenance. By facing the surface again on site, the sealing face is restored to a flat, even condition that a gasket can seat against, which shortens the shutdown and avoids replacing the whole flange.
A flange face that is scored, pitted or no longer flat lets the gasket leak under pressure or temperature cycling. Re-facing the surface restores a smooth, even seat for the gasket and is usually far quicker than cutting out and replacing the flange. The F50 is used by pipeline contractors, valve service companies, shipyards and plant maintenance teams who need to bring a joint back into service during a shutdown window.

Frequently Asked Questions
What flange diameter can the F50 machine?
The F50 covers flange outside diameters from 50 mm to 500 mm.
Does the flange have to be removed from the line?
No. The machine mounts on the workpiece, so the sealing surface is faced on site without cutting the pipe or removing the valve.
Why is the flange face machined rather than replaced?
A scored or pitted sealing surface is a common cause of gasket leaks. Facing the surface again restores a flat, even seat for the gasket and avoids replacing the flange during a shutdown.
