The earth-moving industry relies on strong plate rolling machines to fabricate large, complex shapes for its heavy equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks, and concrete mixers.

Our HAV series, with variable geometry and 4-roll plate rolling machines equipped with multi-radius CNC software, can bend and shape thick plates of high tensile material with precision, effortlessly producing complex shapes and cones. We also offer special plate rolls designed specifically for bending any Hardox grade.

We understand your demand for high-capacity machines, and with Faccin, you can find the best-in-class, renowned for exceptional performance.

We understand that in the Oil & Gas industry, as in a few other sectors, the highest-quality plate rolls are a must. Your production must be made with the utmost accuracy, and achieving repeatability is a fundamental requirement. Precision is crucial for the industry’s infrastructure reliability. 

The market requirement is for variable combinations of small diameter, substantial thickness, and longer pieces. Customization is the key. We offer specific solutions to handle very long rolls, even longer than 18 m (60 ft.) in length, including post-bending units and preloaded machines. Our plate rolls are equipped with the specific accessories for this industry.

All equipment leaving Faccin production facilities is compliant with the API Standards (American Petroleum Institute).

State-of-the-art solutions
