Revolutionizing Vessel Fabrication: HGKS Series Bolt Adjustable Pipe Welding Rotators Introduced

In a major leap forward for the heavy welding and fabrication industry, manufacturers are turning their attention to a powerful and highly efficient piece of machinery—the HGKS Series Bolt Adjustable Pipe Welding Rotator, designed specifically for vessel and tank welding. With load capacities ranging from 5,000 kg to an impressive 600,000 kg, these rotators offer the precision, strength, and adaptability needed for today’s demanding welding applications.

A Closer Look at the HGKS5 – 5000kg Model

The HGKS5 model supports a maximum load of 5000 kg, and is suitable for cylindrical workpieces ranging from Φ250mm to Φ2300mm. Featuring robust polyurethane and steel wheels, this model ensures secure and smooth rotation, even under heavy loads. The adjustable roller distance allows for maximum flexibility in accommodating different diameters, while the variable frequency drive (VFD) provides stepless speed adjustment from 6 to 60 meters/hour.

The HGKS5 is designed with a focus on structural integrity, featuring a fully fabricated base engineered to support not only the workpiece weight but also withstand shock loading during operation. Its high level of automation and user-friendly interface makes it ideal for both manual and automatic welding tasks across multiple industries.

Built for Performance – Across the Entire HGKS Line

From the HGKS5 (5T) to the HGKS600 (600T), the series is constructed with a heavy-duty fabricated frame, precision-machined to guarantee perfect roller alignment. All models incorporate advanced inverter-controlled motors (from the UK’s Invertek), ensuring consistent performance and operational reliability.

Standard features across the series include:

• Siemens/Schneider or equivalent electrical components

• Steel or high-durability PU wheels (lifespan of 2+ years)

• Integrated lubrication system

• Optional manual or motorized adjustment of roller spacing

• Support for third-party testing prior to delivery

• Custom design services available

Versatile Applications

These pipe and tank welding rotators are critical for a variety of applications, including:

• Pressure vessel manufacturing

• Large-diameter pipeline welding

• Chemical tank fabrication

• Wind tower assembly

• Shipbuilding and offshore structures

With their full-function design and high degree of automation, these rotators greatly enhance welding precision and reduce labor time, making them a preferred solution in industries where safety, speed, and quality are paramount.

The Future of Welding Automation

As automation becomes increasingly central to heavy manufacturing, products like the HGKS Series Welding Rotatorsare shaping the future of vessel fabrication. Their combination of robust engineering, adaptable features, and smart technology makes them an essential investment for workshops and fabrication yards worldwide.

For companies seeking reliable, high-capacity rotation systems with proven performance, the HGKS series offers a trusted solution backed by advanced engineering and customizable options.
