Hastings Irrigation Pipe Company Capabilities

Hastings Irrigation Pipe Company has engineered, manufactured and fabricated everything from meteorological systems to I.D. tubing for conduit and geodesic domes for industrial uses. Other accomplishments include semi-automated gate punching machines, design and production of electronic controls for automated production and automatic machinery and handling equipment. So we clearly have the manpower, equipment, facilities and acreage to fabricate components for every conceivable project. Probably the greatest example of our metal fabricating abilities are the state-of-the-art tube mills used in our own plant.

For years, industrial designers pondered the problems of designing one piece of equipment that would take flat aluminum, roll-form and shape it into a perfectly rounded section of irrigation pipe, weld and accurately cut it into specific lengths.

Hastings Irrigation Pipe Company was one of the first to solve the problems and put this type of equipment into mass productions. Today, Hastings continues to build these complex tube mills for other manufacturers throughout the United States.

The Hastings Tool and Die Division built all twelve of the tube mills used to produce aluminum tubing ranging from 2" to 12" in diameter, in lengths up to 50 feet. Our Tool and Die staff are experts in steel and iron fabrication as well as machine tooling, heat treating and pattern making. Our general machine shop equipment includes mills, lathes, shapers, planers, grinders and more.
