Line for large multi-layer PPR pipes
AMUT has supplied a line for the
production of multi-layer pipes in PP
with glass fibre (diameter up to 630mm)
to a European producer dedicated to
hot and cold water ducting for civil and
industrial applications.
The glass fibre improves the elastic
module of the pipe, reducing the
thermal expansion. Pipe installation
costs are lower than for traditional pipe
because pipe support is reduced during
installation. The quality of pipes is
generally enhanced.
The line is composed of three single
screw extruders, EA75 AMUT model,
L/D 35:1, and one EA20 co-extruder
for the coloured strips. The extruder for
the inner layer is equipped with anti-
abrasion treatment screw and barrel to
process the glass fibre.
The line is equipped with a special
head designed for processing large-
sized pipes with different configurations:
three-layer with spiral-helical distribution
system. The head is thermo-regulated
through a dedicated TCU, keeping
an accurate temperature during the
production process (TERAX system).
Any sagging effect is avoided and
uniformity of the thickness can be
maintained.
Each extrusion tool is designed
to reduce the time required for pipe
dimension changes. The pipe head
is equipped with an INRAF system for
internal cooling of the pipe. This energy-
saving concept allows the reduction of
the number of cooling tanks, improving
the dimensional quality of the pipe.
An integrated computerised system
(Surveyor) controls all the parameters
during each phase of the production
process. Innovative software manages
the action of the vacuum pumps, and
saves energy by reducing operating
time.
