For plumbers and other professionals that work with pipes and tubes, investing in pipe benders is a no brainer. A pipe bender allows you to shape or bend pipes and tubes to make them suitable for a variety of applications and fittings.

Choosing the right pipe bender for your needs

Although pipe benders are simple machines with simple applications, choosing the right pipe bender for your needs is not that straightforward. In order to get the right machine for your needs, you should have some factors in mind.

First, it is important to consider the many different types of pipe benders available in the market. Usually, pipe benders are categorized according to their operational mechanism. Here are a few common types of pipe benders you will find in the market.

Mandrel benders – these types of benders use a mandrel inside the pipe to ensure an accurate bend is achieved. On the outside, the tube is supported by a curved radius to ensure it bends as required. Mandrel benders are more versatile and work fast. They can be used to bend round tubes, square tubes, flat, round and square bars.

Rotary tube benders – rotary pipe benders are very common benders in the market. They support the tube or pipe to be bent externally only using die sets of specific radius. They range from simple compact machines to more complex precision programmable benders. Some models come attached to a bench while others are not but are compatible with benches.

Roll benders – these benders feature a pyramid structure with three rollers situated in a triangular fashion. The tubes to be bent is rolled onto the rollers to bend in a specific diameter.

Pipe benders may also be categorized depending on how they are powered. There are hydraulic pipe benders, electrical, manual and mechanical. Hydraulic pipe benders are the go-to for many people because of the high force they are able to achieve. They can therefore be used on pipes with large diameters and thick walls with ease.

After identifying all the different types of pipe benders available out there, you need also to know your operational requirements. Do you handle large batches at once? Do you handle a variety of sizes and materials or just one type of material? What speed of operation is suitable for the work you do? Having all of these operational requirements in mind will help you choose a pipe bender that will fulfill all your needs.

The pipe bending machine price in Kenya is determined by the type of bender you choose and its capabilities. A highly versatile and programmable bender able to work with different shapes, materials and at different speeds while achieving precision will cost more.
