Sinoform suits tube and pipe producers that want a complete welded tube line from a single high-volume builder. That includes new entrants setting up a first mill and established mills adding capacity. It's a strong match for buyers in emerging and export markets, where the company already has a large installed base. It also suits producers wanting to switch sizes more cheaply, since its shared-roller forming technologies cut tooling costs. Its range runs from small precision tube to API energy pipe, so one supplier can cover a varied product mix.

Product Details

Full Description

Yangzhou Sinoform Machinery is a Chinese builder of welded tube mill lines. It was founded in 2003 and is based in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. Over more than two decades it has grown into a high-volume producer, supplying more than 2,000 ERW tube mill lines to customers in 60 countries. Recent installations include projects in Uzbekistan, Iraq and Iran.

The company makes most of what goes into a line in house. Its 26,000 m² main plant handles mill assembly, while a separate 10,000 m² workshop produces rollers and auxiliary machines. A parts machining shop with more than 100 machines, 40 of them CNC, supports both. Together these give Sinoform the capacity to build about 270 to 300 tube mill units a year. Making its own rollers matters to buyers, because rollers are a major part of the cost and lead time of any tube mill.

Sinoform's engineering focus is on forming technology. Its DFT (direct-forming) and FFX lines both use shared rollers across different sizes, which cuts the cost of changing products, while quick-change roller systems reduce downtime. The company says its technical team holds more than 50 patents.

Its equipment covers carbon, galvanized and stainless steel, aluminium and titanium. Applications range from water and gas piping and structural tube to pressure vessels, API energy pipe and automotive tubing. Sinoform employs more than 350 people, including more than 30 design engineers and a dedicated after-sales team of more than 30, which supports installation and service for its overseas customers.

FAQ

How many tube mill lines has Sinoform supplied?
More than 2,000 ERW tube mill lines to customers in 60 countries.

Does Sinoform make its own rollers?
Yes. It has a dedicated 10,000 m² workshop for rollers and auxiliary machines, which helps control tooling cost and lead times.

What is DFT and FFX forming technology?
Both are forming methods that use shared rollers across different tube sizes. DFT forms square and rectangular tube directly, and FFX covers a range of round tube diameters. Both reduce tooling costs and roll-change time.

Can Sinoform build mills for API oil and gas pipe?
Yes. It builds welded tube mills designed for API energy pipe production.

What materials can Sinoform tube mills weld?
Carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminium and titanium.

How many tube mills can Sinoform build each year?
About 270 to 300 tube mill units a year.
