subject: Spiral Cores Manufacturers [print this page] Why Use Spiral Tubeformer Filter Cores? Lower Cost You can produce more using less labor. Longitudinal welding requires skilled labor for longer periods of time, slowing turnaround and increasing staff needs. In-line fluting (perforating and expanding) dramatically reduces material cost versus pre-perforating or pre-expanding. Reduced Material Usage Because Spiral Tubeformer lock seaming and in-line fluting inherently strengthens the tube, lighter weight materials can be used to replace a longitudinally seamed core. Logistics Longitudinal cores require different cut size blanks for each size, as well as pre-perforation/pre-expanding, rolling and welding. Spiral Tubeformer cores and liners are made from standard, compact coil, regardless of diameter, substantially reducing storage as well as material waste. Why Produce on a Helix Tubeformer? Strict length and diameter tolerances Fast computerized tube length and helix angle change Fast and easy diameter and gauge changeover Flying slitter provides a clean cut tube at high speeds Easy and safe to operate, designed to avoid delicate time-consuming adjustments and risk of human error Minimal floor space required
