Battenfeld-Cincinnati, Successful Large-Diameter Pipe Extrusion Installation
The HDPE pipe specialist Policonductos SA de CV, based in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, is now starting to produce large-diameter pipes with diameters up to 1,600 mm. For this purpose, the plastics processor purchased a complete line from battenfeld-cincinnati Germany GmbH, Bad Oeynhausen, which was recently installed and successfully commissioned. The special feature of this large-diameter pipe extrusion line is its pipe die, which comes with the largest melt gap ever produced, and thus enables the production of pipes in a wide range of different diameters without conversion.
