FX28 ERW Tube Mill for Φ10-38 mm Steel Tube Production
FX28 is a balanced small-tube reference for buyers whose product list extends beyond very light decorative tube into furniture, greenhouse and light structural applications. Its published reference range covers a practical mix of round tube and small square or rectangular sections after engineering confirmation.
Round Tube Reference
Φ10-38 mm / 0.4-1.8 mm
Square Tube Reference
8×8-30×30 mm / 0.4-1.5 mm
Best-Fit Production Direction
small furniture, greenhouse and light structural tube production
Engineering confirmation required: published model values are preliminary references. Final capability, configuration and production conditions follow the approved technical agreement.
Suitable Orders for FX28
- furniture frames and general welded components
- greenhouse and light agricultural fabrication tube
- small construction and light structural sections
- rail, fence and general workshop fabrication tube
Selection Boundary
The key selection issue is whether the project is primarily a small-tube business or a stepping stone toward medium structural products. If larger future sections or thicker walls are important, FX32 should be compared before tooling and workshop planning are finalized.
For an FX28 quotation, group products by application and production frequency. Furniture tube may prioritize surface handling and frequent changeovers, while light structural tube may require different material, cutting and dimensional checks. A clear product matrix helps avoid an oversized or under-equipped line.
FX28 Selection Profile: Balanced Small-Tube Production
FX28 is most useful when the product program needs more structural flexibility than a very small tube line but does not require the broader envelope of FX32. It should be judged by the real sales mix, not by the single largest size.
Best Product Mix
A repeat mix of furniture, greenhouse and light structural tubes where round and small square products share the same production plan.
Critical Engineering Point
Confirm whether square tube is produced frequently or only occasionally. This affects sizing design, tooling quantity and changeover planning.
Choose FX32 Instead When
Compare FX32 when 40×40 mm square tube, larger round products or added wall thickness are part of the confirmed future range.
When FX28 Is a Strong Fit
FX28 is most practical when recurring orders genuinely use its small furniture, greenhouse and light structural tube production direction. The dominant products should fit the published reference without forcing the line to spend most of its time at an unsuitable boundary.
When to Compare Another Model
Compare FX25 when most orders sit below this range. Compare FX32 when larger or heavier products are recurring commercial requirements rather than occasional possibilities.
Main Configuration Priorities
- Line entry reviewed for HR, CR or GI strip in the confirmed thickness range
- Roll tooling divided between round products and square/rectangular conversion
- HF welding and cooling reviewed for the buyer's main production sizes
- Sizing section planned for dimensional consistency across a mixed product list
- Flying saw and run-out selected from length, wall and handling requirements
Production Process and Engineering Focus
Entry and Strip Preparation
The uncoiler is selected from the actual coil specification and the strip widths needed for the confirmed tube list. Leveling and entry guidance prepare HR, CR or GI strip for consistent forming alignment.
Accumulation and Forming
Accumulator capacity is discussed according to coil-change method and the buyer's continuity target. The roll-pass design must cover the required round sizes and any planned round-to-square conversion.
Welding, Cooling and Sizing
Welding power and squeeze-roll setup are matched to each important size and wall thickness combination. Cooling and sizing control final geometry before square or rectangular shaping where required.
Cutting and Finished-Tube Handling
The flying saw is selected around finished length, wall range and acceptable end condition. Run-out and packing flow should separate furniture, greenhouse and structural product orders efficiently.

FX28 Tube Mill FAQ
What type of factory is FX28 intended for?
FX28 can be discussed for small-tube factories serving furniture, greenhouse and light structural markets. Final suitability depends on the confirmed size-by-thickness list and material.
Can FX28 make square and rectangular tube?
Square and rectangular production can be configured when the required sections and walls fit the engineering design. Tooling scope and the round-to-square route must be confirmed.
When is FX32 a better option than FX28?
FX32 should be compared when the planned range approaches larger round or square references, or when the buyer wants more expansion room. The larger model is not automatically better if most production remains small.
