Open Field Tank Welders

Reduce Open Field Storage Tank Welding Time by 40% Bug-O Systems offers automated perimeter welding machines for tank fabrication applications. They are convertible for both bottom-up and top-down construction. Bug-O perimeter welding machines can also be used in pairs to create a double-sided perimeter welding machine. Custom models can be manufactured according to customer requirements. Unlike other perimeter welding machines on the market, the BGW (Bug-O Girth Welder) Series comes standard with a Dual Drive System and other features unique to our machines. This self-propelled submerged arc welding system can shorten field storage tank welding time by 40% by increasing arc duration and reducing welding defects. These models work directly on the tank and carry the operator; this eliminates the need for scaffolding while ensuring operator comfort and safety. Thanks to their modular design, Automated Perimeter Welding Machines are suitable for single or double-walled storage tanks constructed top-down or bottom-up. They are designed for both internal and external welding operations. Four standard units are available, and our design allows us to offer custom-made units for specific applications.
