E.H. Wachs specializes in manufacturing portable machine tools for pipeline maintenance, prioritizing safety and efficiency. Their tools are designed for cutting, beveling, and weld preparation on pipelines transporting oil, natural gas, and petrochemical products.
Safety and Cold Cutting Technology
Safety is a primary concern in pipeline maintenance due to hydrocarbons. E.H. Wachs uses cold cutting technology to avoid thermal cutting hazards and prevent Heat Affected Zones (HAZ).
Product Innovations
Since 1949, E.H. Wachs has innovated pipeline maintenance tools. Their Trav-L-Cutter® was the first cold cutting machine, capable of cutting and beveling simultaneously. They also offer split frame machines and the Guillotine® saw for cutting pipes and solids.
Product Range
E.H. Wachs offers a comprehensive range of portable machine tools for various pipeline applications, including:
  • Trav-L-Cutter: Cuts and bevels in one operation.
  • Split Frame Machines: Available in low clearance (LCSF) and heavy-duty (HDSF) models.
  • Guillotine Saw: Standard for cold cutting pipes from 2” to 32”.
  • RS-2 Valve Operator: Reduces stress-related injuries by turning and exercising industrial valves.
Technical Specifications
Detailed tables include specifications for various models, covering pipe size ranges and power sources (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric).
Conclusion
E.H. Wachs provides robust solutions for pipeline maintenance, emphasizing safety and precision, supported by accessories and custom options.
Overview
The Guillotine® Pipe Saws and Trav-L-Cutter® are designed for cold cutting pipes from 2” to 32” in diameter, suitable for industries like contractors, pipeline operations, refineries, and petrochemical plants.
Guillotine® Pipe Saws
Four models are available: Super C, Model D, Super D, and Goliath, featuring a positive chain mounting system and orbital cutting motion for precise cuts.
Trav-L-Cutter®
Designed for cutting and beveling pipes, providing a machined surface ready for welding, available in pneumatic and hydraulic models.
Specifications
Tables list models, pipe size capacities, and power sources, e.g., Super C model handles pipes from 2” to 12” OD.
