5 Reasons Why You Should Outsource Your Helical Coil Manufacturing

A helical coil is a metal tube bent into a spiral shape. Engineers use them to maximize an object’s surface area in a small space. If you need helical coils for your next project, you can make them yourself, buy them pre-made or use a third party. Here are five benefits of outsourcing your helical coil manufacturing.

1. You’ll save time. When you hand over specifications to a reputable pipe-bending company, you can concentrate on the rest of your project. You know the company you hired will deliver the coils to your job site on time and ready to use. Using a third party also frees your workers to focus on other tasks, accelerating your construction timetable and enabling you to hit your targets.

2. You’ll increase safety. Manufacturing helical coils on your own is a hazardous process that uses dangerous equipment and tools. There’s an increased risk of injury to your employees if you try to do all this work onsite. By hiring a pipe-bending company, you know that experienced workers are using the equipment and tools in a controlled and safe environment, minimizing the risk of injury.

3. You’ll save money. The manufacture of helical coils requires specialized, costly equipment. Purchasing machines can be cost-prohibitive if you don’t already have the necessary gear. Outsourcing your helical coils saves money as the pipe-bending company absorbs those costs.

4. You’ll use higher-quality materials. You can find the best materials when working with a pipe-bending company. Depending on the project, you may need coils to conduct heat, withstand salinity or provide some other unique feature. An experienced third party can ensure your coils are made from materials up to the task.

5. You’ll get customization. If your project is unique and demands customized components,  a pipe-bending company can provide you with an engineer to ensure your coils are customized to your project with precise bends, dimensions, wall thicknesses and materials.
