Low fin tube machines‌ are specialized equipment for manufacturing low-fin tubes, also known as ‌fin tube rolling mills‌. Their core function is to use a mechanical rolling process to integrally form low-height, high-density ribs (fins) on the outer surface of a metal plain tube (base tube) in a single operation. This significantly increases the heat transfer surface area and enhances heat exchange efficiency.

 I. Low Finned Tube Making Machine Core Functions & Process

  1. Processing Principle
    Base tubes (such as aluminum, copper, carbon steel, or stainless steel tubes) are fed into the machine. Precision cutting tools perform roll pressing to plastically deform the tube wall material, forming uniform fin structures. The process comprises three stages: ‌biting-in‌, ‌rolling-extrusion‌, and ‌shaping‌, ensuring smooth, intact fins that are integral with the base tube.
  2. Process Advantages
    • Zero contact thermal resistance‌: The fins and base tube form a monolithic structure, eliminating heat transfer efficiency losses caused by welding.
    • High deformation resistance‌: The rolling process enhances the strength of the fin roots, preventing deformation or detachment.
    • Wide applicability‌: Capable of processing single-metal tubes (pure aluminum, copper, steel) or bimetal composite tubes (e.g., steel-aluminum, copper-aluminum).
