6 Steps to Let You Know How to Make Pipes

In our life, we can encounter all kinds of plastic pipes, as large as some transportation pipes, and as small as beverage straws. They are almost everywhere in our daily life and can be said to be closely related to our survival. So how are these pipe products produced? Let's see the relevant knowledge of plastic pipe production process.

Common plastic pipes

The common plastic pipe in our daily life is mainly PVC pipe. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer formed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers under certain conditions. Adding various additives and auxiliary materials to this PVC material can obtain a material with certain specific properties, to make a certain product and apply it to a certain field. And most of the various pipes in our life are made of PVC material, after a certain production molding process, made of plastic pipes of different sizes and functions that can be used in actual life.

Types of plastic pipes

In addition to pipes made of PVC materials, there are also plastic pipes such as polyethylene (PE) pipes, polybutylene (PB) pipes, and engineering plastics (ABS) pipes. Of course, with the continuous development of science and technology, the more and more pipes with good performance, good quality and low cost will be developed to meet the needs of society and meet people's needs.

Production process of plastic pipe

The extrusion molding of pipes needs to be carried out on an extruder. The PVC pipes can be formed by using a twin-screw extruder or a single-screw extruder. The following uses PVC as the raw material and pipe molding on a twin-screw extruder as an example to briefly describe the production process of the pipe. 

Step 1, before producing the corresponding performance size pipe, the required raw materials need to be calculated, weighed and formulated.

Step 2, high-speed thermal mixing of the formulated raw materials on related equipment. 

Step 3, after the raw materials are uniformly mixed, the raw materials are cooled and cooled under the effect of the cooling system and are in a molten state.

Step 4, the raw material in the molten state is formed into a tube blank through the action of an extruder, and the tube blank is cooled to shape it to obtain a better surface quality.

Step 5, China PVC plastic pipe production line processes such as traction, cutting, flaring, etc. are performed on the formed pipe through traction machine, cutter and other equipment to meet the specific shape and size requirements.

Step 6, a comprehensive quality inspection is performed, and qualified products are packaged into the warehouse.

The relevant knowledge about the production process of the pipe is introduced here. Of course, in actual production, there are many aspects to pay attention to in the production of the pipe, not just a few words. With the rapid advancement of technology, PVC plastic pipe production line manufacturers will present more and better products to us one by one, bringing an extraordinary experience to our ordinary life.
