Offset welding technology

Innovative solution in the manufacturing of welded tanks

The offset welding technology is regarded as the innovative further development of the Lipp & Mayer tank welding technology. The double-sided Lipp & Mayer profile is automatically inserted during the guidance and profiling of the metal sheet and can be regulated flexibly during the construction of the tank. The welding position optimized for the welding process ensures a high quality of the weld seam, even for thin-walled material thicknesses down to 2 mm. The offset welding technique makes it possible to manufacture thin-walled tanks from stainless steel, which opens up new applications and markets.

Advantages at a quick overview:

  • Double-sided forming of the sheet metal ensures higher stability
  • Stepless adjustment of the tank diameter during construction
  • Offset enables favorable welding position
  • High welding quality despite low wall thickness
  • Material cost benefits through reduced wall thickness
