Coils and bending denote the process of shaping metal tubing into cylindrical coils, "U" bends, or serpentine configurations—a technique pivotal in heat exchanger manufacturing. This process involves wrapping tubing around a mandrel or using specialized bending machinery for coil formation, while "U" bends and serpentine shapes can be produced via automated systems or manual hand benders.

We specialize in producing custom coils, "U" bends, and serpentine shapes with premium quality. Leveraging advanced machinery, we achieve precise tubing bends to meet any specification, ensuring dimensional accuracy and reliability. Our experts collaborate with clients throughout the process to optimize heat exchanger designs for specific applications.

Applications in Heat Exchangers
Coil and bending techniques are widely used in heat exchanger systems, where coils—typically crafted from copper tubing—facilitate heat transfer between two fluids. These components are integral to industries such as air conditioning, refrigeration, and industrial cooling, and can be fabricated from materials including:
  •  Carbon steel
  •  Stainless steel
  •  Copper
  •  Aluminum
  •  Specialized alloys
Fin Tube Products, Inc. delivers these solutions with rigorous quality assurance standards.

Key Advantages of Coils & Bending
In heat exchanger design, coils and bent tubing offer distinct benefits:

Assembly Efficiency
  •  Fewer welds are required for coil structures, reducing labor costs and minimizing potential leak points.
Enhanced Heat Transfer
  •  The high surface area-to-volume ratio of coils boosts thermal efficiency, enabling compact unit designs that save space.
Maintenance Simplicity
  •  Smooth, corner-free geometries of coils simplify cleaning and reduce fouling risks compared to rigid tube configurations.
Design Flexibility
  •  Tubing size, material, and bend radius can be tailored to specific application needs, accommodating diverse operational requirements (e.g., pressure ratings, temperature ranges, and corrosion resistance).
