Metal Spinning

At Tanfield Metal Spinners, we use our expertise in metal forming to create a variety of parts. This includes dished ends, pressure vessels, spun metal cones, tank heads, and more. We can quote work up to a radius of 2.4 meters and a thickness of 10mm for spun metal parts.

Tanfield’s metal spun parts can have applications in products with drastically different uses, across many sectors. As a result, there is a large scope as to the businesses that can make use of Tanfield’s metal spinning services. All parts spun by Tanfield Metal Spinners have full traceability too.

Dished ends are the end caps welded to the main body of a vessel. Our metal spinning process for dished ends ensures the overall design of the vessel is upheld, while guaranteeing functional quality. These can be created in sizes ranging from 102mm – 1870mm. We can form:

• Ellipsoidal dished ends
• Hemispherical dished ends
• Torispherical dished ends

Dished ends are primarily used in storage to seal a pressure vessel but are also widely used in sectors where the storage of volatile solids, liquids and gases is commonplace. This includes food processing, nuclear operations, chemical plants, transportation tankers, power generation, and oil refining. We also have the capabilities to produce flat flanged ends in sizes from 100mm – 1011mm.

Pressure vessels are designed to store liquids and gases at varying pressures. Storage conditions are at a pressure that’s significantly higher or lower than the ambient level. To withstand the forces associated with this, Tanfield Metal Spinners makes sure our forming process doesn’t compromise the integrity of the materials used.

Our metal spun hemispheres for pressure vessels come in a massive range of sizes, from 46mm – 1573mm. Uses for this part include:

• Heat exchangers
• Reactors
• Flash drums
• Distillation towers
• Separators

Pressure vessel fabrication is an essential service for many industries that focus on processing. Tanfield can provide expertly spun pressure vessels for the safety, chemical, petrochemical and food production sectors.

Metal Cones produced at a Tanfield Metal Spinner facility can come in a wide range of diameters and lengths to suit your needs. Spun metal cones are used to guide liquids and gases, or increase or decrease the width of piping. They can function as covers, caps, and funnels. We can adjust our process based on the role your metal cones are intended for.

Our metal spun cones are extremely versatile, able to be made in a range of lengths and degrees from 60-150°. Many industries use them in integral industrial processes. Our metal cones can be used in many sectors including:

• Air movement
• Agriculture
• Chemical
• Playgrounds
• Pressure Vessels

A tank head is a part that caps one or both ends of a cylindrical pressure vessel. The tank heads our expert spinners produce can vary in size to fit the vessel they’re going to be affixed to. Common types of tank heads inlcude:

• 2:1 elliptical
• ASME F&D
• Flat head type

Our capabilities allow us to create bespoke tank heads too. Tank heads are used to seal the vessel, allowing for the storage of liquids, gases, or bulk solids. These vessels can be driving cylinders, reactors and distillation towers, among others.

Tank heads formed by fully certified metal spinners like Tanfield Metal Spinners have applications in the following sectors: manufacturing machines, pressure vessels, agriculture, and food production.
