Agitators are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Due to the special structure of their vessels—often cylindrical or spherical—the flanges are located in confined areas where traditional lathes or vertical machines cannot be applied for machining. In such cases, the FDG600 OD-mount flange facer provides an ideal solution. Its portable design and external clamping system allow it to be directly mounted on the outer edge of the flange, eliminating the need for dismantling or transporting the vessel to a machine shop, significantly improving efficiency.
Enamel-coated flanges present additional challenges because of their high sealing requirements. The sealing surface is usually finished with an enamel-spraying process, which makes the surface extremely hard yet brittle, and much more difficult to machine compared with carbon steel or stainless steel. The FDG600, with its rigid structure and stable transmission system, ensures cutting stability and precise feed control. This minimizes the risk of enamel cracking or peeling while guaranteeing flatness and smoothness of the sealing surface. Its three adjustable feed rates allow operators to achieve flat facing, spiral serration, or sealing groove machining, fully meeting the stringent sealing standards.
In practice, the FDG600 OD-mount flange facer has proven highly effective for the repair and re-machining of enamel-coated agitator flanges. It overcomes the limitations of space and complex material properties, delivering reliable, high-quality on-site machining results and establishing itself as a key tool in chemical equipment maintenance.
