Int’l sales successes in large diameter plastics pipe extrusion

The pipe extrusion segment is registering a strong trend to large diameter plastics pipes for systems supplier KraussMaffei Berstorff.

These large diameter plastics pipes are used, for example, in water supply and district heating networks. KraussMaffei Berstorff supplies high-performance lines for production of high-quality, large diameter pipe. The company has recently sold a number of these systems.

A line for the production of large-diameter PE-HD pipe with outer diameters from 400 to 1200 mm recently went into operation at Emirates Preinsulated Pipes Industries (EPPI), Abu Dhabi/United Arab Emirates. The line will be used mainly for the production of PU-insulated pipe used to transport cooling liquid for air conditioning systems in tower blocks. The line features a KraussMaffei Berstorff KME 125-36 B/R single-screw extruder with KM-RKW 36 and KM-RKW 38 pipeheads. Both pipeheads can be moved sideways out of the line on tracks.

P.E.S Productive and Industrial Co. Teheran/Iran also recently started operating a KraussMaffei Berstorff line to produce large-diameter plastics pipe. The line is headed by a KME 150-36 B/R extruder and a KM-RKW 39 pipehead. The line achieves output of 1700 kg/h producing PE-HD pipe with outer diameters up to 1600 mm.

KraussMaffei Berstorff supplies complete turnkey solutions to produce large diameter plastics pipe, which are tailored to the specific requirements of individual customers. RKW pipeheads are capable of producing pipe with diameters up to 2000 mm and wall thicknesses up to 100 mm. A 36 L/D single-screw extruder from KraussMaffei Berstorff is capable of output up to 1700 kg/h. The 36 L/D screw concept stands for high output and a gentle, high-performance plasticizing process. The longer processing unit delivers a thermally homogenous melt with fillers and pigment perfectly mixed in.
