The Clyde Machine was the original, and continues to be, the standard-bearer of clamshell machining.

The Clyde represented a step change when it was introduced to the market over 40 years ago, providing a new solution and generating new levels of performance, strength, speed, accuracy of Cutting, Bevelling, 5 & 7LPP Coating Removal, Machining of Field Joint Coatings, Buckle Arrestors and Internal Transitions 

Today it remains the benchmark for heavy-duty pipe cutting and bevelling; a tried, trusted and proven feature of subsea operations over many years.

Features

  • A hydrostatic bearing system that underpins the Clyde’s industry-leading performance in longevity, rigidity and accuracy.
  • A steel split-frame design that enables inline pipe to be cut and bevelled simultaneously.
  • An adaptable and customer-focused design and manufacture process that is capable of delivering solutions for pipes ranging from 6″ to 80″ diameter – modified or customised every time to suit.
  • A +/- 0.5mm welding preparation performance that meets the standards demanded in the automatic welding era – and eliminates the hidden costs of high weld failure rates.
  • Hydraulic or pneumatic power options. The Clyde can remove weld beading, representative of a range of capabilities that make it more than simply cutting apparatus: that make it a portable machining too
