Machinery that Bends over Backwards
Leaking or cracked tubes can create unsafe conditions, result in loss of efficiency and force downtime.

B&W service centers are equipped with extensive raw material inventory and state-of-the-art hot and cold tube bending machinery, so tubes can be cut, bent and shipped out on short notice.
