FINNING MACHINES
 
  Extruded Machine

Process:
These finned tubes entail two tubes, the base tube and the outer tube usually Aluminum or Copper material.  The outer tube with a large wall thickness (muff) along with the aligned inner base tube is fed through three arbors with rotating discs in the finning machine.  The outer tube extrudes the aluminum fins up and out of the muff material in a spiral configuration in one operation eventually forming the extruded finned tubes.

 

   

 
Spiral Finning Machine

Process:
The tube is fed longitudinally through the rear of the machine while the aluminum fin strip, which is usually located below the bare tube rack, is tension wound around the circumference of the tube perpendicularly.  The fin strip is carefully guided to the primary forming roller and spindle roller by adjusting the angle and rolling force of the primary forming roller, the external fibers of the fin are rolled with a uniform taper.  The fin curls as a result and hugs onto the circumference of the tube, and hence forming a spiral finned tube.
