Technical Data
Product Specifications
REED UPC636A is a professional pneumatic cutting system designed for large-diameter pipeline construction and field maintenance. Its rotating blade and chain-guided frame allow the cutter to travel around the pipe circumference for stable, controlled cutting.
Pipe Capacity
6"–36" (Ø150–1,000 mm)
Suitable Pipe Materials
Steel, cast iron, ductile iron, plastic, concrete and clay pipe
Maximum Steel Wall Thickness
12.7 mm
Required Clearance
Approx. 300 mm around the pipe
Guiding System
Adjustable chain, tensioner and connecting frame
Air Preparation
FRL filter, regulator and lubricator system
Large-Diameter Cutting with Approximately 300 mm Clearance
Designed for pipes from Ø150–1,000 mm, with a chain-guided system that travels around the pipe circumference. Suitable for trenches, existing large pipelines and jobsites with restricted surrounding space.
Features
Key Features
Combines large-diameter cutting capacity, material-specific blades, chain-guided operation and pneumatic power for professional utility, industrial and pipeline maintenance applications.
6"–36" Large-Diameter Capacity
Cuts pipes from Ø150–1,000 mm, covering large-diameter applications beyond the capacity of conventional small pipe cutters.
Multiple Pipe Materials
Material-specific blades allow the system to cut steel, cast iron, ductile iron, plastic, concrete and clay pipe.
Chain-Guided Circumferential Cutting
The adjustable chain, tensioner and connecting frame secure the system around the pipe and guide the cutter progressively around the circumference.
Approx. 300 mm Clearance
Suitable for trenches and existing pipelines where surrounding space is limited. Additional clearance is still required for installation and operator access.
1.7 HP Pneumatic Drive
Operates with a suitable air compressor and incorporates an FRL filter, regulator and lubricator system for stable pneumatic performance.
Modular Jobsite Configuration
The guide frame, chain and cutting components can be configured for different pipe diameters, with a cooling water tank, cart and toolbox for field use.
Applications
Applications
Designed for large steel pipelines, municipal water and wastewater systems, underground pipe repair, industrial utilities, large plastic pipe and infrastructure projects.
Industrial Pipe
Large Steel & Industrial Piping
Suitable for cutting large steel pipe, replacing pipe sections, industrial piping upgrades and equipment maintenance.
Utility
Water, Wastewater & Underground Lines
Applicable to water mains, wastewater lines, ductile iron pipe and removal or replacement of existing underground pipelines.
Infrastructure
Plastic Pipe & Civil Infrastructure
Suitable for large-diameter PVC and PE pipe, as well as concrete, clay and other compatible pipe materials.
Equipment & Safety
Equipment & Operating Notes
Final cutting configuration should be selected according to pipe material, outside diameter, wall thickness and the available compressed-air supply.
Standard Equipment
Standard equipment includes the pneumatic cutting unit, guide chain and connecting frame, FRL filter-regulator-lubricator system, cooling water tank and cart, toolbox, and basic maintenance accessories.
Blade and Air Compressor Sold Separately
Cutting blades and the air compressor are sold separately. For steel pipe, select the appropriate UPCSTEEL4 or UPCSTEEL6 blade according to the actual pipe outside diameter, wall thickness and material.
Cutting Safety
Cutting steel, cast iron and ductile iron may generate sparks. This machine must not be treated as a spark-free cold-cutting system. Before cutting, ensure the pipeline is emptied and all flammable or explosive hazards have been eliminated. Always follow the manufacturer's operating manual and applicable jobsite safety procedures.
