Milling machines

When it comes to machining difficult-to-cut materials, such as those used for rotors and stators in oil and gas extraction – especially in fracking applications – high-quality milling is essential. Surface finish and profile accuracy are crucial. In the fracking process, water, sand, and chemicals are injected into rock at high pressure to create fractures and release oil and gas. The components used in this process, such as rotors and stators, are subjected to extreme pressure, abrasive forces, and chemical exposure, requiring specific material properties and precise manufacturing to prevent operational failures.

In this area, we offer a robust machine concept that meets these high demands while ensuring short machining times. With Leistritz milling machines, our customers receive a highly user-friendly solution for profile manufacturing. The machines are designed to maximize the durability of components, which must withstand extreme mechanical loads and corrosive effects in the fracking process, significantly extending their service life.

LWN 300 PM

The LWN 300 PM (PowerMill) is a milling center specifically designed for the production of oil rotors, including those used in demanding fracking applications. In the production of these rotors, maximum precision is required to ensure consistently high performance and reliability under extreme conditions. To meet these requirements, the LWN 300 PM combines disk milling and hobbing in one machine, resulting in improved geometries while simultaneously enhancing the surface quality of rotors.

This flexible machine convinces with short set-up times (cutter change in < 10 minutes), very good accessibility, tool bearing on both sides for high profile and surface quality as well as high drive power at the milling unit for short machining times.
