Why CML USA Inc. Is an Ideal Place for New Flanger Equipment

CML USA Inc. is a trusted source for industrial Flanger Tube and Pipe equipment, supplying production-ready machines for tube and pipe fabrication. Our lineup includes the Erco Flange Machine EFB220 from ERCOLINA, designed specifically for cold-forming 90° flanges on tubes in stainless steel, carbon steel, copper and aluminum. When you work with CML USA, you get more than a single catalog item—you gain access to application guidance, parts support and honest recommendations that help you choose the right flanger for your material sizes and production requirements.

Uses of Tube & Pipe Flanger Equipment

Tube and pipe flanger machines are used to form accurate flanges on the ends of tubes, creating surfaces for bolted, clamped or gasketed connections without welding. The Ercolina EFB220 uniformly cold-forms 90° flanges on a variety of materials and wall thicknesses, making it ideal for manifolds, process and food-grade piping, ventilation and exhaust systems, and other applications where clean, repeatable flanges are required. Compared with manual forming or fabricated flange rings, a dedicated flanger improves consistency, reduces labor and helps ensure leak-tight joints.

The Cost Range of New Flanger Equipment

Purchasing new Flanger equipment is an investment in efficiency, quality and repeatability. Pricing varies with maximum tube diameter and wall thickness, material capability, control features and brand. While a purpose-built flanger from ERCOLINA may cost more than improvised methods or lighter-duty equipment, it typically delivers faster forming times, fewer scrap parts and longer tool life. At CML USA Inc., we offer competitive pricing on the EFB220 and related tooling so you can achieve high-quality flanges while maintaining a sensible budget.

How CML USA & ERCOLINA Flangers Compare to Other Options

Many shops fabricate flanges by welding on rings or relying on manual hammer forming, which can be slow and inconsistent. Dedicated tube and pipe flangers from ERCOLINA, offered through CML USA Inc., use controlled cold-forming to produce uniform flanges with less effort and rework. Unlike generic presses or unbranded machines, the EFB220 is designed specifically for flanging tube, with proper support tooling and clear capacity ratings. Combined with CML USA’s local service, parts availability and application assistance, this provides a more reliable, long-term solution than ad-hoc methods or low-cost imports.

Understanding the History of Flanger Equipment

Flanging began as a manual process using hammers, heat and simple dies to turn up edges on pipe and plate. As production volumes increased and standards tightened, specialized flanging machines were developed to provide more consistent results and safer operation. Modern flangers like the ERCOLINA EFB220 use advanced hydraulics and precision tooling to form accurate 90° flanges in a single controlled cycle, often without the need for post-machining. CML USA Inc. is proud to supply this latest generation of flanging technology, helping fabricators meet today’s quality and productivity demands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tube & Pipe Flanger Machines

What does a tube and pipe flanger do?
A tube and pipe flanger forms a 90° (or custom) flange on the end of a tube by cold-forming the material against a die, creating a flat sealing or bolting surface without adding a separate flange ring.

Which industries use tube flanger machines?
Tube flangers are used in process piping, HVAC and ventilation, food and pharmaceutical systems, exhaust and ducting, and other applications where tubes must connect to flanged components or clamp systems with reliable, repeatable joints.

What factors determine which flanger I need?
Key considerations include maximum tube diameter, wall thickness, material type, required flange angle, and production volume. These factors help determine whether an Ercolina EFB220 or other model is appropriate for your operation.

Where is the best place to buy tube and pipe flanger equipment?
For buyers in North America, one of the best places to purchase new flanger equipment is directly from CML USA Inc. We provide specifications, application advice and support for ERCOLINA flanger machines and can help you select tooling and options that match your parts and production goals.

How much does it cost to purchase a tube and pipe flanger?

Pricing depends on diameter/wall capacity, material (e.g., stainless vs. mild steel), flange angle options, control level (manual, hydraulic, CNC), and automation or guarding. As a general guide, entry industrial flangers start in the low five figures, mid-capacity production models are typically mid to high five figures, and large-diameter or CNC/automated cells can reach the low six figures. Tooling packages (clamp jaws and flange form tools), fixtures, safety guarding, installation, and training are usually quoted separately. For an application-specific quotation, contact CML USA Inc.
