Membrane Removal Head Removes Boiler Tube Membrane and Overlay
A new membrane and overlay removal head that fits onto five standard MILLHOGŪ welding end prep tools to remove membrane, overlay, and bevel tube simul-taneously is being introduced by ESCO Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts.
The ESCO Membrane Removal Head is designed to fit five different MILLHOGŪ tools that cover a tube range from 7/8" to 3" O.D. for removing membrane and the overlay (cladding) from the tube's outer surface. Featuring proprietary Golf "T" inserts for assembling the head, which make 360° contact with the holder, as the head rotates the holding forces of the inserts are multi-plied which minimizes vibration, reduces heat, and maximizes their life.
Eliminating screws and head breakage, the ESCO Membrane Removal Head's Golf "T" inserts are easy to install and remove without wrenches. The head comes in two styles: one to remove membrane only and another which also removes the overlay. Both can be fit with a blade to bevel the tube simultaneously.
ESCO Membrane Removal Heads are priced from $772.50 and can be retrofit or purchased with tools. They are produced under license and covered by US Patent Nos. 5,356,248, 5,542,177, 6,995,507 7,313,992 and others pending.

Dear Naoras Alzbeedi,
Esco Tool manufactures many tools to mill tube sizes from .5" to 18" and bigger. We can put the membrane removal head on most of them. For 2"-3" tube we recommend what we call the "wart millhog" or the "mini millhog".
We need more information from you to give a better answer. Where are you located? We have distributors worldwide. How many tubes need to be milled? What material are they made of? How close are the tubes? What kind of space is around them?
The more information you can give to us, will allow us to design a tool especially for your needs. Thank you for contacting us. We look forward to hearing from you in the future.
Sincerely,
Jay Britton
