Whether pressure pipe or drain pipe, conduit or sewer in most cases plastic pipes, either PVC or Polyolefin, are the perfect choice.
We understand that to be successful pipe producers and suppliers. It is important to produce high volumes of reliable quality pipe with a cost-efficient process. That is why we’ve partnered with Krauss Maffei who focus on designing machinery with high capacities, high tolerance precision and a homogenous melt reducing scrap rate and reducing overall costs.
Our scope of supply extends to:
QuickSwitch technology for in-line dimension changes delivers maximum flexibility and minimum cost for pipe extrusion.
The requirements relating to pipe extrusion are already very high nowadays: small order batches, high flexibility, long production times and cost-efficient production are imperative.
Whereas conventional pipe extrusion lines have to be stopped, converted and restarted with every
change of dimension, the efficient QuickSwitch technology from KraussMaffei Berstorff can be used to change the pipe dimensions during continuous production – simply at the push of a button. This effective and intelligent technology generates potentially enormous savings.
In addition to investing in a complete machine, existing lines can be changed by adding individual modules and extended into a fully automatic machine using the manual version of QuickSwitch.
Your advantages at a glance:
All-in-one control system:
Overriding control system
The overriding control system is a key element of a fully automatic QuickSwitch line. All QuickSwitch functions are integrated in an overriding C6 control system. Here, for example, the following parameters of the extrusion lines are stored once for every individual pipe dimension:
Our technology varies in order to meet product simplicity or complexity. We provide technology for production of single layer PP, HDPE and LDPE as well as 5 layers EVOH and PE-RT pipe for floor heating applications.
We aim to provide the right machine and system configuration for all pipe extrusion tasks for cost-effective production and an extremely high level of product quality. We try to be system providers for customer-specific special solutions and support your production throughout its lifespan; offering installation, commissioning and training from our exceptional local engineering team.
Benefits:
Internal Pipe Cooling (IPC) technology boosts outputs up to 60% and reduces cooling length by up to 40% without influence on melt quality due to central melt feeding.
Applications of Polyolefin pipe:
Benchmark in pipe production
Benchmark in pipe production
The two series with processing units of different lengths are ideally equipped to meet market requirements for economical production. The proven 36D single-screw series combines highest product quality with economical production. The single-screw extruders with the 30 L/D long processing unit stand for special applications with special materials.
PVC pipes have a wide variety of uses and many benefits. PVC is safe for drinking water, has a longer lifespan than competing materials, is a recyclable material, has lighter properties and is more cost effective to produce, transport, install and maintain.
Our technology benefits:
PVC multilayer pipes allow for use of a foamed core layer to reduce overall weight leading to material saving in non-pressure applications. Up to 100% of the core layer can be inhouse or post-consumer regrind or can be modified with high filler loads of up to 100 phr.
Benefits:
Powerful machine technology, flexible application
PVC Pipe Extrusion
The parallel twin-screw extruders of the 36D series are specially designed for PVC processing. Their goal: maximum economic efficiency through high output and best product quality. Our broad product range with modular concept offers economical and high-performance production solutions tailored to pipe extrusion.
Multilayer Polyolefin pipe heads offer diameter range of 5 to 2500 mm with 1, 2 or 3 different materials. We offer flexible systems for feeding of the layers and an intelligent solution for stripe requirements with pipe layer thickness 0,6 -2 mm for varying layers.
Benefits:
Krauss Maffei pipeheads for processing PVC couples’ high production outputs with consistently outstanding pipe quality to ensure cost-effective production of PVC pipes. We offer twin strand extruder heads in order to make the best use of extruder performance. Additionally, we have high output 4-strand solutions for conduit pipe, sizes 20-32mm. Our pipeheads are able to accommodate all sizes from 16-800mm and all pressure classes; allowing you to produce thin walled or high-pressure pipe.
