Dishing & Flanging
Wenco is a Perth Western Australia manufacturer of cold formed dished and flanged heads and ends, used predominately for pressure vessels, tanks and processing plants.
Our assortment of unique dishing and knuckling machines reflects the combined 100+ years of experience we have in this highly specialized field.
This process includes dishing and flanging. Ends and heads are used to close the ends of cylindrical or spherical vessels and provide pressure containment of the vessel contents. Dished ands & heads provide engineered structural strength, while allowing for easier flow and handling. They distribute the internal pressure of the vessel or tank evenly, reducing stress concentrations.
Our capability to manufacture pressure vessels & heads, combined with our sub-arc welding capability makes Wenco the obvious choice for one-stop pressure vessel manufacture in WA and Australia wide.

- 3 x Flanging machines with capacity as follows:
- Torispherical & SE heads 750 - 6000 ID
- 6 – 25mm plate thickness range
- All sizes for Hemispherical Domes in segments
- Full customised & non-standard head manufacture
- Total expertise to assist with all enquires
Types of dished ends
Applications: Commonly found in industries such as chemical & water processing, oil and gas, food and beverage manufacturing, where pressure vessels are essential for storing or processing fluids and gases under pressure.
Materials: Dished heads are made from metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and other alloys, depending on the pressure and environmental conditions they will be exposed to.
SE Heads have a smaller radius than the ellipsoidal counterpart. It has a spherical cap shape with a knuckle radius connecting it to the straight flange. This design allows for a smoother transition between the cylindrical vessel and the dished end.
Torispherical heads are commonly used in industries where space constraints are a concern. The compact design of the torispherical head allows for a smaller overall vessel height compared to ellipsoidal heads, making it a practical choice for applications where vertical space is limited. Examples of relevant industries include the air movement, renewable energy, and food industry to name a few.
