The revolutionary automatic Spiral Tubeformers from Lockformer combine the most advanced technology with one of the smallest footprints in the industry. Unlike other compact models, the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformers will not sacrifice speed, power, or technology, and are the most affordable in their class with unsurpassed features and reliability, Available in two (2) models to meet your operational needs:
Model 1.2: Our most popular model produces spiral pipe up to 18 gauge (1.25 mm) thickness with a maximum speed of 241 ft/min (87 m/min)
Model 2.0: Our workhorse model offers both high speed and heavy gauge capacities producing spiral pipe from 28-14 gauge (0.50-2.0 mm) thickness with maximum speeds of 287-344 ft/min (84-104 m/min) depending on gauge.
Features include:
The revolutionary automatic Spiral Tubeformers from Lockformer have set the standard for spiral duct fabrication in the HVAC industry. And now, all Spiral Tubeformers are integrated with Lockformer Spiral Status Technology allowing HVAC duct manufacturers to realize a more efficient, integrated, paperless fabrication workflow without manual inputs and redundant steps for faster production, improved consistency, fewer errors, and a smarter, more connected operation where data-driven contracting meets data-driven manufacturing. Learn more about Spiral Status Technology below.
The Lockformer Spiral Status Technology platform is the latest technology introduced by the partnership between Mestek Machinery and Stratus. This collaboration enables seamless data flow from the Stratus Workstation Application directly to the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer, eliminating manual processes, accelerating fabrication workflows, and enabling a connected, intelligent, paperless workflow from office to shop floor, driving productivity, accuracy, and labor efficiency in sheet metal manufacturing.
