Performance and Advantages of HDPE Pipe Extruder

The HDPE is the most popular thermoplastic in the global market. The high density polyethylene, is a major component of most materials such as household objects, food and cosmetic containers, helmets, toys, and bottles. In fact, it is the synthetic polymer with the highest production volume worldwide. It is odorless, tasteless and non-toxic.

Today, the HDPE have become the choice in the manufacture of pipes of different sizes and volumes. The global demand for the HDPE pipes have been made possible by a wide range of innovative HDPE pipe extrusion machines.

The significant application of the HDPE pipe is in the conduction of liquids in sewers or in agriculture. Its advantages mean that it is also used in construction, industry and chemicals or in fishing.

Among the features of the HDPE pipe are its lightness, its flexibility, even at low temperatures and its high impact resistance. Chemical products and agents, as well as acids, do not cause damage, and also withstands water temperatures above one hundred degrees.

Features of the HDPE extruder machine

The HDPE tube extruder machine can adopt an advanced PLC electronic control system, high efficiency screw and composite head, which includes specially shaped tube extruder, molten adhesive extruder, winding machine, cutting machine and other related auxiliaries. 

The HDPE pipe production line is characterized by stable operation, high performance, high rigidity of the pipe ring, high creep resistance, convenient connection and construction economy.

This HDPE tube extrusion machine produces a variety of winding tubes, corrugated double-walled tubes, double-walled winding tubes and three heavy-walled winding tubes.

The HDPE extrusion machine subjects the material to undergo oxidation at 50 ° C along with degradation of polymer molecules. Even at ordinary temperatures, in the presence of light, it suffers degradation. Thermal oxidation can be reduced or even suppressed by incorporating antioxidants. Regarding the electrical conductivity, in the case of this thermoplastic it is low. It also has a high dielectric strength and a low power factor. In addition, it is recyclable and environmentally friendly.

Let's look at some advantages of the HDPE over other materials

-Efficiency. Thanks to its smooth interior, they facilitate a flow of liquids to the pipes of other materials. It also does not accumulate sediment and scale inside.

-Security. Seals are not used, since the welds are made by thermofusion welding, so the safety of the installation is complete.

-Useful life. Resistant to the effects of abrasive liquids, impacts and other chemical agents, the estimated useful life of HDPE pipes is 50 years.

-Resistance. They withstand vertical loads because they transfer most of the load to the ground around the pipe. This is due to its corrugated outer wall.

-Flexibility They adapt to changes of direction and curves, so they do not make accessories or additional tools. In comparison, it is more flexible than polypropylene.

-Quick installation. Thanks to its lightness, the transport, handling and installation process is shortened. In addition, heavy machinery is not necessary to move it.
