MAILLEFER, which is exhibiting at Tube
South East Asia, offers complete systems for
multilayer composite pipe manufacturing and
delivers lines for producing flexible corrugated
or foam insulated composite pipes.
The company claims that a composite
pipe manufactured with a foam tube offers
several advantages over a pipe insulated by
the contractor at the building site.
Both the foam tube and the composite pipe
are fed to the line using two single payoffs.
The coil length of the foam tube ranges
from 700 to 1,200m with a diameter range
of 28 to 46mm. An accumulator is used
when switching from one empty payoff to
the other full one. In parallel, the composite
pipe is introduced from another pair of single
payoffs. The pipe is either on coils or reels
and diameters range from 16 to 26mm.
The foam tube is applied around the pipe by
first slicing it open lengthwise, then merging
the pipe into the foam tube. The cut edges
are then heated before being joined together
to form a welded seam. A compression
phase maintains the edges perfectly aligned
and holds the foam tube in place as the
weld solidifies. Finally the product is ready
to receive its outer jacket.
The foam insulated pipe enters the extrusion
head where a medium/high density PE layer
ranging from 0.15 to 0.20mm uniformly seals
the foam tube. The MXC extruder coupled
with the most recent screw and barrel
innovations offers a linear and homogenous
melt across the full RPM range. The nearly
finished pipe then enters a section of cooling
water trough before reaching the conditioning
components of the line.
The Nomos® PSU line control ensures a
precise synchronisation of the various line
operations at the highest possible speeds
for the product.
