Ebflow machine
Ebflow™ is an award-winning, reduced pressure, electron beam (RPEB) welding technology that is revolutionising engineering projects worldwide, across a variety of industries and applications.
Developed by Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE), Ebflow is significantly faster, cheaper, safer and more energy efficient than conventional welding techniques – helping the companies that use it save time and money, while also reducing their carbon footprint.
Game-changing in its approach, Ebflow brings all the advantages of electron beam welding to steel structures of an unlimited size – delivering a fast, flexible welding solution.
Between 20-30 times faster than conventional submerged arc welding (SAW) techniques, Ebflow offers transformational gains in productivity.
Achieving unprecedented joining rates of up to 200mm per minute in 150mm thick steel, this innovative technology has set a new standard for the fastest ever, thick-section joint completion rates.
It has been demonstrated that Ebflow can use up to 90% less energy, cost up to 88% less, and produce 97% less CO2 emissions than SAW methods.
The result is a welding solution that can lower the carbon footprint and overall investment needed to deliver engineering projects – without compromising quality.
Discover how Ebflow helped fast track the construction of an offshore wind turbine monopile foundation at Dogger Bank as part of the RapidWeld project; and the gains made by Sheffield Forgemasters in the production of a nuclear pressure vessel.
Ebflow is a versatile system with applications in a wide range of industries, from oil and gas to nuclear power generation to ship building and more.
