In industrial maintenance sites, flange separation is often the bottleneck that limits efficiency—flanges that are rusted and stuck remain immovable even after prolonged prying and hammering. Traditional tools are difficult to use in tight spaces, and applying too much force can damage the flange faces and sealing gaskets, causing delays and increasing maintenance costs. Nowadays, a tool designed specifically to address these pain points has emerged: the hydraulic flange separator. With its core advantages of efficiency, safety, and convenience, it is reshaping the operational model of flange maintenance across various industries.

Three Core Advantages, Revolutionizing the Traditional Maintenance Experience

Compared to traditional tools such as crowbars and hammers, hydraulic flange spreaders, with their precise hydraulic transmission technology and user-friendly design, achieve a dual leap in maintenance efficiency and operational safety, with their core advantages particularly outstanding:

Super strong power + precise control, solve tough problems with one click

For stubborn flange scenarios such as corrosion and high-temperature adhesion, hydraulic flange spreaders demonstrate overwhelming power advantages. The integrated model can achieve a maximum separation force of 15 tons, while the split model can handle an ultra-large load of 28 tons. Combined with a 150mm radius arc step design, it evenly transfers force to the flange surface, easily overcoming the maintenance challenge of flanges that ‘won’t budge”. Even more impressive is its fine control capability; it can be inserted for operation with an initial gap as small as 6 mm. The stepwise 25mm progressive separation design avoids flange misalignment caused by brute force, perfectly protecting the gasket and flange accuracy. During maintenance of a heater in an offshore oil and gas filed, this tool was instrumental in successfully  separating a severely corroded large flange, not only enabling gasket replacement  but also saving 80% of the operation time compared to traditional methods.

Ultimate portability + flexible compatibility, seamless operation in all scenarios

The complex environment of industrial sites places extremely high demands on tool flexibility, and the hydraulic flange separator provides a  perfect solution. The integrated model combines the pump and separator into one unit, eliminating the need for connecting hoses , and its  lightweight reinforced plastic handle allows it to be carried by a single person. The split model connects to the hydraulic pump via house, making it suitable for special  scenarios such as working at heights or in confined sapces. The 360° rotating operating parts further overcome spatial limitations.
