Model Specifications
Product Details
Grooving efficiency on jobsites and in factories often depends on setup speed, pipe material compatibility, groove consistency, and manpower requirements. With 15 tons of pressure, a compact body, and quick-change grooving rolls / drive shafts, this groover helps reduce labor demand while improving efficiency when switching between different pipe materials and specifications.
Even for the same 6" pipe size, different materials and Schedule ratings affect groove forming conditions. Before use, confirm the pipe material, diameter, wall thickness, and coupling specification, then match the correct grooving roll and drive shaft to avoid inconsistent groove dimensions, poor joint sealing, or excessive equipment load.
Generates powerful pressure from a compact body, helping form grooves quickly, stably, and consistently.
Setup and operation can be completed by one person, reducing manpower requirements and coordination cost.
Suitable for grooving stainless steel pipe, steel pipe, copper pipe, PVC pipe, and other pipe materials.
Grooving rolls can be replaced quickly to support different pipe materials and specifications.
Special structural design allows quick drive shaft replacement, improving equipment flexibility and work efficiency.
Suitable for on-site construction work as well as factory assembly and pipe prefabrication processes.
Suitable for grooved coupling work in fire protection piping, improving on-site connection efficiency and consistency.
Can be used for grooved connections in industrial piping and equipment piping systems.
Suitable for equipment piping, mechanical rooms, and on-site installation requiring grooving work.
Can be used for pipe prefabrication, batch processing, and standardized assembly workflows in factories.
Suitable for building MEP piping, water supply and drainage, and related pipework.
Supports different construction needs involving steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, copper pipe, and PVC pipe.
