Fives Group – Fives Bronx
Raising the standard
Fives, an international engineering group,
was contracted to supply enhanced
straightening solutions to strengthen prod-
uct quality and increase production.
Serving a larger capacity
A fully automatic Bronx straightener from
Fives for high-yield seamless tubes was
delivered to a customer in the United Arab
Emirates preparing to scale up production
at their newly established tube mill.
Designed to serve the oil and gas sector,
the machine handles stainless steel tubes
ranging from 3.5” (88.9 mm) to 11.2” (285
mm) in diameter to process thick walls up
to 1.5” (38 mm).
This high-capacity machine replaces manual
straightening methods, offering significant
improvements in operator safety, produc-
tion efficiency, and accuracy, which are criti-
cal to uphold strict product requirements.
Production transformation
In a separate project, Fives also commis-
sioned a Bronx section straightener for a
customer in the shipbuilding industry in
Canada.
This installation is the company’s first-ever
straightening machine, marking a major
milestone for efficiency and accuracy.
Designed to process bulb flats and flat
sections ranging from 2.4” (60 mm) to 8.7”
(220 mm), the fully automatic system has
transformed their production line. Since
commissioning, the machine has delivered
a new level of quality, consistency, and
reliability.
Always in motion with enhanced
straightening solutions
Whether it’s large-diameter tubing or
precision-shaped sections, Bronx straight-
ening solutions from Fives are engineered
to adapt to any material composition and
dimensional requirements while delivering
exceptional straightness, surface finishing,
and process control across every applica-
tion worldwide.
