Model D-15 Bending Machine
The Model D-15 is the most popular large bender that is manufactured by Pedrick. Like the Model A-7 it is used in many maintenance applications. It is typically supplied with a 4 1/2 inch OD, heat treated, alloy steel, one piece center spindle. When added flexibility is required we can supply the machine with a two piece center spindle. With this feature one machine can be tooled to bend 1/2 inch to 4 inch schedule 80 pipe! We have shipped this model all over the world. It is in use by manufacturers of industrial compressors, turbines, and by companies that have a requirement to bend large diameter heavy walled tubing. In the foreground of the photograph to the left there is a zero tangent bend produced in 4 inch schedule 80 IPS. Like the Model A-7 it used in many plant maintenance and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) applications.
