FF6000 PORTABLE FLANGE FACER
Cut your dismantling & downtime costs by re-facing flanges and
repairing seal & bearing fits at the work site
This flange facer will substantially
reduce your costs and maintenance
downtime by allowing you to quickly
repair your flanges, seals, and bearing
fits in place without resorting to costly
disassembly and transportation to a
machine shop. This versatile on-site
flange facing machine will also help
to eliminate expensive and time-
consuming recertification procedures
which may be required when critical
valves and flanges are removed for
repair and then re-installed. The job
can be done quickly to get back in
operation with minimum downtime.
An experienced operator can usually
mount the machine in the flange
bore, align it, and start cutting in 30
minutes.
