Find out how the Elsa Facing Kit has revolutionised on-site machining, solving the complex requirements of industrial worksites. 

The need for a flange facing kit

In an ever-changing world, Elsa constantly faces the challenge of responding effectively to the increasing customer demands. Our Supercombinata portable line boring machine, already established for its versatility and reliability, is now required by naval operators to perform complex machining operations such as:

• flange facing of large pipes

• machining of propeller shaft housings

These requirements from shipyards highlighted the need for an even more flexible and multifunctional solution. Elsa therefore embarked on a path of innovation that led to the creation of the Facing Kit, transforming the Supercombinata into a true mobile workshop, capable of carrying out even the most complex machining operations.

A successful experience: the challenge of a shipyard

One of our customers, a major shipyard, contacted us with an urgent problem. They were using our Supercombinata for the repair of bushings and engine bearings on big ships, but this time the request was different: they needed to smooth the faces around the housing holes of a hatch's joint pins. After regenerating the holes, the surfaces had to be machined to ensure a perfect hatch fit.

Thanks to the versatility of the Supercombinata and the quick response of our engineering team, we provided a customised solution that solved the problem in record time. Our Facing Kit allowed the repair to be carried out directly on site, saving the customer time and costs for moving heavy equipment.

Elsa solution: the Facing Kit

In response to this and other requests, Elsa developed an innovative semi-automatic system capable of removing material on the faces, orthogonally to the machine's axis of rotation. Thus was born the first Kit for Facing Industrial Flanges, from which the KES series (Elsa Facing Kit) was derived. Today, this range of kits includes four models operating on different diameters, ensuring precision and reliability in any context.
