Integrated solutions for the safe, efficient conveying of tubes

Operational continuity and tube protection along the entire finishing line

The carbon steel tube conveying systems manufactured by Barni are a key element within tube finishing lines, as they ensure the controlled, safe and efficient transfer of the product between the various stages of the production process. These systems are designed to move tubes of different diameters, lengths and weights while preserving the tube’s geometric and surface integrity. The main benefit of conveying systems lies in the continuity of the finishing process, enabling the functional link between the various operating stations such as cutting, straightening, heat treatment, deburring, non-destructive testing, surface finishing, marking and packaging. Proper conveying reduces cycle times, limits manual handling and contributes significantly to operational safety and to the final quality of the product. Conveying systems also allow orderly management of material flows, reducing the risk of surface damage (scratches, dents) and deformation, which are particularly critical during finishing.

Thanks to numerous references and to the experience gained from plants supplied worldwide, Barni is able to find the best compromise and the best solutions for optimal conveying. The most common conveying systems are:

  • idle or motorised roller tables,
  • chain conveyors,
  • walking beams or step-type systems,
  • cross transfers such as levers, rotating arms or star wheels,
  • automatic loading and unloading systems.

Barni offers its own solutions to the market but is also able to customise them according to the customer’s specific requirements.

Thanks to its great flexibility, Barni can supply turnkey plants from engineering through to on-site installation, or limit its scope of supply working together with the customer.

Examples of fields of application

The main fields of application requiring our conveying systems are:

  • Conveying between the straightener and the NDT inspection line
  • Accumulation and buffering ahead of surface treatment
  • Automatic sorting by size class
  • Protected conveying to marking and labelling
  • Automatic feeding of cutting stations
  • Unloading and preparation for packaging
  • Conveying for tube-end threading plants
  • Conveying for deburring, internal washing and packaging plants.
