PEMA welding and production automation systems for offshore & process
Pressure Vessel Manufacturing
Specially designed solutions for pressure vessel manufacturing ensure efficiency and quality
PEMA solutions cover all welding and material handling needs during these phases.
Maximum productivity
Effective vessel production requires rigid rollerbeds and welding Column & Booms or welding platforms combined with modern software solutions. Efficient material transportation without unnecessary crane activities is ensured with transfer cars. We have everything you need for modern pressure vessel manufacturing from single units to all-inclusive production lines.
Pressure Vessel Manufacturing
Solutions for extremely thick plates
PEMA is specialized in handling and welding of thick and heavy workpieces. Modern way to approach thick materials is using semi-narrow gap grooves and long-stick-out SAW process for welding. This method is highly suitable for exceptionally thick plates, typically 50-150 mm.
A narrow, preformed tulip-shape welding groove reduces the seam volume and decreases the amount of fillet material needed. On the other hand, producing a quality seam is a process that places extraordinary demands on a production facility.For automated adaptive welding of thick materials with long-stick-out process you need the most advanced software to keep the process under control. Our solutions for your needs is PEMA WeldControl 500 software with adaptive functions.
PEMA’s 100- 1200-ton rollerbeds are designed to meet the special needs of semi-narrow gap welding. In semi-narrow gap welding, the vessel must be rotated with extreme precision, with no axial movement, even over the longest period of time. For this reason, PEMA’s large rollerbeds come with an automatic hydraulic anti-creep function to prevent axial movement.
PEMA has everything you need to start- or improve manufacturing process of heavy pressure vessels. Besides of welding solutions we have also heavy duty milling machines for groove preparation.
Solutions for thin plates
We have also proved manufacturing solutions for thin and shiny materials highly suitable for food, brevery and chemical industry customers. Typical plate thicknesses vary from 2 to 25 mm and materials from stainless steels to duplexes.
The welding process is always selected case by case together with the customer, with focus on the actual need and costs.
Options for welding of thin plates: MIG/MAG, TIG, plasma and laser solutions.

Flexibility with PEMA nozzle welding
PEMA Nozzle welding solution is versatile. With our PEMA Nozzle welding solution, you are not limited to weld only nozzle connections. In addition to that, you can also weld circular and longitudinal seams, support legs, and other external components.
Integrated welding and cladding
Pressure vessel manufacturing: dish end production
Integrated welding and cladding processes are combined to our Column & Boom and together with the interpolated movement these processes are available for both internal and external surfaces.
The extremely demanding quality requirements of manufactured
pressure vessels are achieved by using high-quality production
equipment to ensure a stable and fully controlled welding process.
PEMA has extensive knowledge in building high-precision, large
scale machinery with up to 250 tons of positioners and numerically controlled column & booms and welding platforms, and fully integrating modern digitally controlled Submerged Arc Welding equipment. These integrated solutions create a combination that ensures an increase in productivity, solid quality and uncompromised safety.
Integrating a Multi-Arc SAW carriage and positioner in an advanced control system, i.e. the interpolation of the welding head and positioning the dish end, allows the welding of semi-elliptical dish ends and hemispherical heads to be automated. Real time control of the welding orientation and welding speed is something unique we have developed as a solution for our customers in the industry.
