The line configuration can be customized according to the customer’s production requirements.

1. PVC, UPVC and CPVC Pipe Die Heads

The extrusion die head is a critical component of the PVC pipe production system.

EXTRUTEX manufactures precision PVC, UPVC and CPVC pipe die heads for different pipe diameters, wall thicknesses and production outputs.

The tooling can be designed for:

• PVC water pipes

• UPVC pressure pipes

• UPVC sewage pipes

• PVC drainage pipes

• CPVC hot-water pipes

• Electrical conduit

• Telecommunications conduit

• Industrial PVC pipes

• Large-diameter PVC pipes

The die head is engineered to provide stable melt distribution and uniform wall thickness throughout the pipe circumference.

For different materials and formulations, the tooling can be adapted to the processing characteristics of the specific compound.

2. Three-Layer UPVC Pipe Die Heads

EXTRUTEX also manufactures specialized three-layer UPVC pipe extrusion tooling.

Three-layer construction can be used to produce pipes with different material or formulation characteristics in the individual layers.

Depending on the customer’s application, the three-layer structure can be configured for:

• Water pipes

• Sewage pipes

• Drainage pipes

• Electrical conduit

• Telecommunications conduit

• Cost-optimized pipe structures

• Recycled-core pipe structures

• Special-performance pipe structures

The complete three-layer extrusion system can include multiple extruders feeding a specially designed co-extrusion die head.

EXTRUTEX engineers the extruder, co-extrusion tooling and downstream system together to achieve stable layer distribution and consistent pipe dimensions.

3. Vacuum Calibration Tanks

After leaving the extrusion die, the hot PVC pipe enters the vacuum calibration tank.

The calibration system controls the outside diameter and geometry of the pipe while the material is cooled.

EXTRUTEX manufactures vacuum calibration tanks in different configurations and lengths according to the pipe diameter and required production speed.

The system can include:

• Stainless steel tank construction

• Vacuum pumps

• Adjustable vacuum control

• Calibration sleeves

• Water circulation

• Water-level control

• Temperature monitoring

• Automatic control

• Adjustable pipe supports

For larger PVC pipes, the calibration system can be designed with increased cooling capacity and reinforced mechanical construction.

4. Spray Cooling Tanks

Following calibration, additional cooling is required to bring the pipe to the appropriate temperature before it reaches the haul-off and cutting sections.

EXTRUTEX supplies spray cooling tanks designed specifically for plastic pipe extrusion.

Water is distributed around the pipe through multiple spray nozzles, providing controlled and relatively uniform cooling.

The system can include:

• Multiple spray zones

• Water circulation pumps

• Water filtration

• Temperature monitoring

• Automatic water-level control

• Adjustable water flow

• Stainless steel construction

The number and length of cooling tanks depend on the pipe diameter, wall thickness, material and extrusion output.

5. PVC Pipe Haul-Off Machines

The haul-off machine continuously pulls the pipe through the calibration and cooling sections.

EXTRUTEX manufactures PVC pipe haul-off systems for different pipe diameters and production speeds.

The haul-off provides controlled traction without damaging the surface of the finished pipe.

Depending on the application, EXTRUTEX can supply different configurations including:

• Belt haul-offs

• Caterpillar haul-offs

• Multi-belt systems

• Adjustable traction systems

• Servo-controlled haul-offs

The haul-off speed is synchronized with the extruder and cutting system through the central control system.

Stable haul-off speed is essential for maintaining consistent pipe dimensions and production quality.

6. PVC Pipe Cutting Saws

EXTRUTEX supplies automatic cutting systems for PVC, UPVC and CPVC pipes.

The cutting system can be configured according to the pipe diameter and required finished length.

Available functions can include:

• Automatic length measurement

• Automatic positioning

• Planetary cutting

• Chip-free cutting

• Servo synchronization

• Automatic pipe transfer

• Chamfering

For high-speed production, the cutting machine is synchronized with the haul-off and extrusion line to maintain accurate cutting lengths without interrupting continuous extrusion.

7. Automatic Take-Off and Stacking Tables

After cutting, finished pipes are transferred to the take-off and stacking table.

EXTRUTEX manufactures manual, semi-automatic and automatic pipe collection systems.

The equipment can be configured for:

• Individual pipe collection

• Automatic stacking

• Bundling

• Pipe transfer

• Automatic sorting

• Large-diameter pipe handling

For large PVC pipes, the take-off system can be reinforced according to the weight and dimensions of the finished product.

8. Automatic Socketing and Rubber-Ring Insertion

For PVC and UPVC sewage, drainage and water pipes, EXTRUTEX supplies automatic socketing machines and rubber-ring insertion systems.

The socketing system forms the bell/socket at the end of the pipe, allowing pipes to be connected during installation.

EXTRUTEX can supply automatic systems for pipe diameters up to 1,500 mm, depending on the specific configuration and application.

The system can include:

• Automatic pipe positioning

• Heating section

• Socket forming

• Cooling

• Automatic pipe transfer

• Rubber-ring insertion

• Ring inspection

• PLC control

Automatic socketing significantly reduces manual operations and provides consistent socket dimensions during mass production.

9. Inline Ultrasonic Pipe Inspection

Quality control is an important part of modern PVC pipe manufacturing.

EXTRUTEX can integrate inline ultrasonic inspection systems into the extrusion line.

Ultrasonic technology can be used to monitor critical characteristics of the pipe during continuous production.

Depending on the system configuration, inline inspection can monitor:

• Wall thickness

• Pipe geometry

• Concentricity

• Dimensional variations

• Material distribution

Continuous inspection allows production personnel to identify variations during manufacturing rather than relying exclusively on offline inspection.

For demanding applications, the inspection system can be connected to the main PLC and HMI system to provide alarms and production data.

PVC Pipes for Water Supply

UPVC and PVC pipes are widely used for water distribution systems.

EXTRUTEX supplies complete extrusion lines for producing different types of PVC and UPVC water pipes.

The production system can be configured according to:

• Pipe diameter
