Grooves can be rolled on standard-wall large-diameter pipes in five to seven minutes.

Three options kits provide rolls for larger sizes, along with pipe stands, railing, platform kit and support bases.

The VE460 has been designed with speed and ease of operation and maintenance in mind. There are no screws in the upper roll and no key in the lower roll, making for quick and easy roll changes.
