The smallest in our range of i/d locking, direct in-line feed end prep machines. The PREP 2 is small, lightweight, yet powerful, electric form.
Simultaneous external and internal beveling and facing of pipe or tubes is simple, ideal for accurate repetitive work. Its size, power and functionality, make it extremely popular in high volume heat exchanger work, tube facing, weld removal and J-prepping of the tube plate.

Elbow Beveling
Facing
Counter-boring
Weld Removal
J-Prepping and facing of Tube plate
MATERIALS:
Any kind of Steel and Exotic Alloy
POWER:
Electric
The smallest in our range of i/d locking, direct in-line feed end prep machines. The PREP 2 is small, lightweight, yet powerful, in electric drive form. A 4 jaw tool holder (chuck) allows use of up to 4 form tools to enable weld preparation of thin wall tube, or heavy wall pipe. Simultaneous external and internal beveling and facing of tubes is simple, ideal for accurate repetitive work. Its size, power, and functionality, make it extremely popular in high volume heat exchanger work, tube facing, weld removal, and J-Prepping of the tube plate. Also used extensively on Power Station Shutdowns for boiler panel bevels.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES:
The PREP 2 is torque reactive. This means that the pipe or tube does not have to be fixed to be beveled, making it particularly useful on-site, in maintenance and repair situations. This is due to the design and strength of the thru shaft system that locks to the bore of the pipe. The Jaw system itself consists of 3 equilaterally positioned machined jaw segments, retained and locked on an inner, ‘grooved’ expansion shaft. These grooves keep the jaws held securely in position, unlike other systems that use a metal or rubber bands for jaw retention. As the expansion nut is tightened, the jaws expand, locking tightly and square to the bore of the pipe.
