Unique to its competitiors, PDE has the in-house capability to form dished ends by either Pressing or Spinning. Each method can offer particular advantages to the customer's product, to discuss these further please contact our sales team.
Forming of dished ends and hemispheres is achieved in one of three ways:
1. Hemispheres
- Formed using this technique are spun over a tool which has the exact spherical shape. This allows the end to be formed entirely on one spinning machine. *

2. Press and Flanging
- A contract specific spherical radius is formed using specialist Boldrini hydraulic presses. Following this the required knuckle radius is spun using Boldrini flanging units. *

3. Spin and flanging
- Unlike pressing, the spherical radius is formed by spinning the plate blank against a fixed forming tool. Forming of the knuckle radius is made in the same way as pressed ends. *
