1. Round Stainless Steel Tube Mill - General Purpose Production
Overview:
This is the most versatile and commonly used tube mill for producing round stainless steel tubes.
Production Process:
Uncoiling stainless steel coil
Forming round tube using forming rolls
TIG or HF welding (TIG for clean welds, HF for higher speed)
Weld bead removal (inside and outside, optional)
Sizing and calibration
Straightening and cutting
Polishing (if decorative finish needed)
Output:
Diameter: Ø6–114 mm (customizable up to Ø219 mm)
Wall Thickness: 0.3–3.0 mm
Material: 201, 304, 316L stainless steel
Applications:
Furniture tubing (table legs, chair frames)
Handrails and balustrades
Conveying tubes
Water lines in food/beverage industries
2. Square and Rectangular Tube Mill - For Frame Structures & Fabrication
Overview:
This mill is designed for shaping square or rectangular stainless tubes after the round forming stage.
Additional Steps:
After round forming and welding, tubes are reshaped using compression rollers into square/rectangular form.
Precision rollers ensure sharp corners and dimension accuracy.
Output:
Sizes: 10x10 mm to 100x100 mm
Wall Thickness: 0.4 – 4.0 mm
Applications:
Furniture frames
Door/window frames
Construction supports
Greenhouse structures
3. Decorative Tube Mill - Aesthetic Tubes with Mirror Finish
Overview:
Tailored for high-end architectural or interior-use tubing, where the tube's surface finish is key.
Technology Features:
TIG welding with low current to avoid discoloration
Optional argon gas protection chamber
Online or offline mirror polishing units (6K–8K finish)
Online eddy current testing for defects
Output:
Shape: Round, square, oval, elliptical
Surface: Mirror, hairline, embossed, titanium coated
Applications:
Handrails (indoor/outdoor)
Elevator railings
Boutique furniture
Designer kitchen/bath fittings
4. Industrial Stainless Steel Tube Mill - For Heavy-Duty Applications
Overview:
Used for producing large-diameter, thick-wall stainless steel pipes for pressure, load, or mechanical environments.
Process Enhancements:
Uses HF or SAW welding depending on thickness
Equipped with tension control, powerful roll stands, and CNC saw cutting
Handles automatic weld seam tracking
Output:
Diameter: 25–508 mm
Thickness: Up to 12 mm
Materials: 304, 316, duplex stainless
Applications:
Structural steel pipes
Heat exchanger tubes
Boiler tubes
Pipelines in petrochemical & power industries
5. Precision Stainless Steel Tube Mill - Medical & Instrumentation Use
Overview:
Designed for ultra-tight tolerance tubes used in sensitive industries.
Key Features:
Precision TIG or laser welding
Online OD measurement systems
Annealing furnaces for stress relief
Air or vacuum cooling tunnels
Output:
OD: Ø1 mm – Ø25 mm
Tolerance: ±0.02 mm

Output:
Custom dies for each profile
TIG welding with shaping rolls after welding
Applications:
Automotive trim tubes
Curtain rods
Office & shop furniture
Architectural features
