The basic principles of Pipes Extrusion
In Europe there are more than 550 manufacturers of piping system.
This is a sector which has much relevance. And pipes are without doubt indispensable components in many of the infrastructures that surround us. The pipe extrusion is in fact the topic of this article.
A pipe extrusion line consists of different parts. An extruder converts raw plastic material into a continuous tubular melt by extrusion through an annular die. The molten pipe then proceeds through a sizing or calibration bench (which adjust its dimensions) to a cooling tank. After being cooled, the pipe passes via an haul-off to the cutting machine, for cutting it into final lengths, or coiling.
Single or Twin screw extruders are used for pipe manufacturing.
