Swagelok Company introduces the new Swagelok® High-Volume Swaging Unit (HVSU) engineered to streamline nut-ferrule installation and aimed at increasing safety and productivity for the oil and gas, alternative fuel, and general industries.
The HVSU enables installers to easily preswage Swagelok nut-ferrule sets onto stainless steel tubing. The pneumatically driven and electronically controlled semiautomatic unit uses sensors to start and stop the process for consistent preswaging results. This process provides several reliability and convenience features. It starts automatically when the tubing is inserted and properly bottomed. It also prevents over-swaging with stroke-limiting tooling. It can easily switch from one tube fitting size to another.
