High-precision professional equipment for the production of chimneys and non-standard pipe elements
Modern production of metal structures, chimney systems, and ventilation elements is impossible without specialized equipment that ensures not only high processing speed but also precise parameters. One of the key machines for producing elements with reduced diameters or with conical sections is KPD-2 hydraulic press for crimping metal pipes — an industrial machine that allows for the quick, reliable, and low-error reduction of pipes and the creation of transition joints.

Hydraulic pipe diameter reducing machine
🔧 What is the KPD-2 layout machine and how does it work?
Machine for crimping metal pipes KPD-2 - is a hydraulic equipment designed for reducing the pipe diameter by radial compression (crimping)Unlike pipe expansion machines, this machine works by uniformly compressing the pipe around its circumference, which allows:
-
reduce the diameter of pipes;
-
create precise reduction sections;
-
form conical transitions;
-
prepare blanks for connection and welding.
The main element is 12-segment pressing mechanism, which compress the pipe evenly, ensuring precise force transmission and geometric stability of the productThis design minimizes the risk of deformation, distortion, and defects, which is especially important when processing thick-walled pipes and products for chimney and ventilation systems.
📏 Technical characteristics of the KPD-2 machine
| Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Diameter of pipes to be crimped | 60–350 mm |
| Wall thickness | 1–3 mm |
| Crimping stroke | 0–17 mm |
| Length of the area to be treated | 10–100 mm |
| Crimping tool | 12-segment kit |
| Cycle speed | ~2.2 seconds |
| Possibility of automation | Yes (optional) |
These characteristics make the KPD-2 a versatile solution for a wide range of metalworking applications, from standard chimney production to the manufacture of transition elements with non-standard geometry.
📌 Key features and benefits
✅ Versatility of application
KPD-2 is designed not only for diameter reduction, but also for formation of conical sections, which allows it to be used in:
-
production of chimneys and ventilation;
-
manufacturing of adapters and pipes;
-
manufacturing of conical elements for industrial systems;
-
serial production of non-standard parts.
✅ High processing precision
The 12-segment pressing mechanism ensures uniform action on the pipe, which allows you to achieve:
-
precise transition diameters;
-
smooth conical surfaces;
-
products ready for the next stage of processing or welding.
✅ Fast execution of operations
Thanks to the optimized hydraulic system and well-thought-out design, the machine completes one crimping cycle in approximately 2.2 seconds, which makes it an effective tool for mass production.
✅ Reliability and durability
The hydraulic mechanism with precise adjustment of the crimping stroke ensures a long service life of the equipment, stable performance and minimal operating costs.
🏭 Using the KPD-2 machine in production
📌 Production of chimney systems
When manufacturing chimneys, precision assembly and tight connections are crucial. The KPD-2 machine allows for the formation of components so that their subsequent joining is easy, strong, and airtight—especially when working with stainless steel.
📌 Ventilation and technological systems
In the manufacture of air ducts and process equipment, pipe reduction is used to connect components of different diameters and form elbows and branches. The KPD-2 ensures the required geometry without additional labor-intensive machining.
📌 Transition and conical elements
Thanks to the option of working with replaceable collets, the machine can be used for the production of:
-
adapters between diameters;
-
conical connecting nodes;
-
special fittings for industrial lines.
🧠 How to choose KPD-2 for your production
When choosing a machine, it is important to consider the following parameters:
📌 Diameters of processed pipes
Make sure the range 60–350 mm suits your needs. If your company has different diameters, you can assemble sets of replacement collets.
📌 Wall thickness
The KPD-2 machine is capable of processing pipes up to 3 mm, making it suitable for most industrial carbon and stainless steel pipes.
📌 Production tasks
If high-precision forming of conical sections, transition flanges, and welding couplings is required, choosing the KPD-2 will be a justified solution for automating such operations.
