Exact PipeCut INFINITY Hydra
Hydraulic power for cutting the world’s largest pipes
As the name suggests, HYDRA Infinity brings the unlimited cutting capacity of the Infinity system together with the power and reliability of hydraulic operation. Designed for demanding industrial applications, it can cut all pipe sizes from 360 mm outside diameter and upwards, making it ideal for large-scale pipeline installation and maintenance.
Unlike other Exact pipe saws, the HYDRA Infinity uses an innovative chain-type gripping mechanism that securely attaches to the pipe. The chain can be extended with additional segments, allowing the machine to cut virtually any pipe diameter without limitation.
Powered by an external hydraulic power source, the HYDRA Infinity is perfectly suited for harsh working environments, including construction sites, trenches and utility projects. It can be connected to a hydraulic power pack or the hydraulic system of compatible machinery, providing consistent performance where electric tools are not practical.
The HYDRA Infinity is also available with an optional Cut+Bevel Package, allowing cast and ductile iron pipes to be cut and bevelled simultaneously in a single operation.
