Pelican’s I.D. Clamped Flange Facing Machine is a portable large diameter flange facer with a capacity to currently machine 1.5 metres to 12 metres flange diameter. The capacity can be altered to machine flanges from 1 metre to 28 metres in diameter.

As this machine was predominantly designed and made to machine slew bearing support flanges of large diameters, like the ones in Bucket Wheel Excavators and other large slewing structures, its primary objective is to produce a flat circular surface. It has been able to achieve flatness accuracies as much as 0.06 mm (60 microns) on the entire flange diameter of 5 meters.

Being equipped with a state of the art automation system and a host of high accuracy sensors enables it to deliver unmatched machining capabilities. The real time display of data of the machine performance and onboard computers help maintain the desired level of accuracy. The same sensors and computers prevent any untoward incidents by sounding alarms and also an auto stop function.

Despite the fact this machine is used to machine large and very large diameter flanges, in order to be portable and easy to use, it is designed to be transported in parts and then assembled on site. This lets us machine any job at any location. The machine can be set true to the level of earth or to the level of the job to be machined.

With appreciably higher material removal rates and being very easy to setup, the average total time taken from setup to finish machining is generally 30 hours or lesser.
