Centurion Pipe Bending Machine 16-30”

One source. One proven solution.
CRC-Evans is the industry’s largest manufacturer of
pipeline construction equipment. Designed in-house to
precise customer specifications, our welding machines,
pipe bending equipment, end prep equipment, clamps,
padding/crushing equipment, weighting systems, and
laybarge equipment have been used to complete more
than 60,000 miles of pipeline in more than 100 countries.
CRC-Evans builds today’s most comprehensive line of
onshore and offshore pipeline construction equipment.
All equipment is manufactured within a Quality
Management System certified to the internationally
recognized ISO 9001:2008 standard and CRC-Evans’
own Quality Policy.
For pipe from 16” (406mm) to 30” (762mm). CRC-Evans
state-of-the-art bending machines.
 A stronger, re-engineered frame offers increased
bending capacity.
 New diesel engine designed for rugged dependability
in all weather conditions. Engine support, contains
diesel fuel tank and batteries for easy access
 New hydraulic system has a larger hydraulic tank
and utilizes a new valve system which allows easy
lever control for all hydraulic functions, safe
operator’s platform.
 Engine and air compressor platform (air compressor
optional) are now side-mounted, lowering center of
gravity and greatly increasing stability.
 Cover on the engine to reduce its noise level.
 Stiff back and tongue have been re-engineered to
allow for mandrel storage.
 Optional two-stage pump.

 Outboard cylinder travel is now 68% faster than our

 Optional Mandrel operation:
standard machine (increase due to improvement to
 Pneumatic Mandrel with 3 section valve
hydraulic system design).
 Hydraulic Wedge Mandrel with 5 section valve
 Bending cylinder force is now 39% greater than
standard machine (due to increased cylinder size and
higher pressure rating).
