Double-Head Tubular Heater Bending Machine

The HTD-2B model is a high-precision hydraulic and pneumatic electric heater bending machine, engineered to work with a wide range of materials including copper, iron, stainless steel, and aluminum. This double-head tube bender is perfectly suited for standard diameters up to 16mm and lengths up to 2000mm. It is the preferred choice for finishing electric heating elements, allowing robust mechanical adjustments to ensure precise bending distance and angles, minimizing material waste and guaranteeing final product quality.

The HTD-2B tubular heater bending machine is the ultimate solution for manufacturers looking to maximize their production. Specifically designed as a double-end bending machine, it allows simultaneous 90° or 180° bends on both sides of the tube, drastically reducing cycle times. Its capacity to process multiple tubes at once (1 to 4 units) makes it the ideal tool for mass production of heating elements, ensuring uniformity and high speed in industrial assembly lines.

It is the preferred choice for finishing electric heating elements, allowing robust mechanical adjustments to ensure precise bending distance and angles, minimizing material waste and guaranteeing final product quality.

The operator or loading system places the straight tubular heaters into the clamping cradles. When the cycle is activated, the clamps firmly secure the tubes to prevent slippage. Simultaneously, both bending heads, driven by cylinders (hydraulic or pneumatic depending on configuration), rotate on their axis to exert the necessary force against the forming die. This allows both ends of the heater to be bent at the same time to the preset angle (90° or 180°), ensuring perfect symmetry impossible to achieve with sequential manual bending.

 

The HTD-2B automatic double-end bender is essential in industries that require forming metal tubes and heating elements. Its main applications include:

•       Electric Heater Manufacturing: Ideal for the final bending of heaters used in domestic ovens, electric stoves, electric water heating elements, and industrial defrosting systems.

•       Appliance Industry: Production of tubular components for washing machines and dishwashers.

•       Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Sector: Bending of copper and aluminum tubing for heat exchangers.

•       Furniture and Light Structures: Bending of iron or stainless steel tubes for frames, handles, and supports that require symmetry at both ends.

This equipment stands out in the market for its balance between robustness and flexibility:

•       High Production Capacity (Multi-tube): Unlike single benders, the HTD-2B can bend up to 4 tubes in a single cycle (depending on diameter), multiplying efficiency by four without increasing operating costs.

•       Material Flexibility: Compatible with copper, iron, stainless steel (AISI 304/316), and aluminum, making it versatile for different product lines.

•       Customizable Drive: Available in configurations with hydraulic structure (for greater force on thick tubes), pneumatic (for higher speed on thin tubes), or pure mechanical, adapting to the client's infrastructure.

•       Versatile Length Adjustment: Capable of handling long tubes up to 2000mm, covering most standard industrial electric heater needs.

•       Geometric Precision: Ensures both ends are perfectly aligned in the same plane or at the desired angles, eliminating human error.

FAQ

Changing the diameter on the HTD-2B tube bender is a standard and robust mechanical process. The machine does not adjust "automatically" by pressing a button; instead, it requires a quick tooling change.

To change from an 8mm to a 12mm diameter, two key components must be replaced:

1      Bending Dies or Molds: These are the parts that have the groove with the specific tube radius.

2      Clamping Jaws: These ensure the tube does not move during bending.

The complete process usually takes between 15 and 20 minutes for a trained operator. It is important to note that when purchasing the machine, additional die sets can be requested to cover all production diameters (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, up to 16mm), ensuring the machine grows with your factory's needs.
