– KraussMaffei Berstorff and Jiantou Baosu cooperate in PVC-O pipe extrusion
– Quick-changing QuickSwitch technology for 'Smart Factory' will also enter China
KraussMaffei Berstorff will demonstrate high-quality solutions for PVC and PO pipe extrusion at Shanghai International Plastics and Rubber Exhibition (April 24-27, Hall 2H, Booth 2T01, April 24th, 1818). The company will launch a two-way joint venture with Jiantou Baosu. Extruded PVC pipe extrusion technology.
The fast-changing QuickSwitch technology that has long been successful in automatic online taper applications will also enter the Chinese and Asian markets.
Cooperating with Jiantou Baosu to develop future-oriented PVC-O pipe extrusion technology
According to the cooperation agreement reached at the end of 2017, KraussMaffei Berstorff and Jiantou Baosu (Hebei, China) will actively promote the international sales of PVC-O technology. 'Caipu Baosu is an expert in PVC pipe extrusion and has been devoting itself to the development for many years. The unique two-way stretching technology, 'Andreas Kessler, Head of Sales at the Munich headquarters, emphasized that since the 1980s, KraussMaffei Berstorff has maintained a good partnership with Jiantou Baosu. Among the many new developments,
U-PVC twin screw extruders using the latest technology will be a core part of this cooperation.
'In order to be able to respond to customer's requirements for processing technology and material composition faster and more accurately, Jianshe Baosu planned to install a complete PVC-O pipe production demonstration line equipped with our twin-screw extruder, Kessler explained.
Compared with the traditional U-PVC pipe, biaxially stretched pipe has nearly twice the impact resistance, higher pressure capacity, and weight reduction up to 40%.
This kind of pipe is mainly used in the area of sewage discharge and drinking water supply. It can be said that this is a perfect combination of permanent and outstanding technical performance. Moreover, compared with traditional pipes, the pipe is easier to transport and lay.
The pipe product brand sold by Jiantou Baosu is Taiji Blue pipe® (Tai Chi Blue pipe®).
Rapidly adjustable system: Highly automated and multi-variety, low-volume production
In China, the interest in digital solutions for the plastics processing industry is also enormous. With the use of rapid-changing systems, manufacturers can realize automated production of many varieties and small batches, with shorter production preparation time and less waste.
KraussMaffei Berstorff will demonstrate the advantages of this technology to the audience participating in the China International Rubber Exhibition through a conical tube sample. This sample vividly shows that when a pipe is changed from a tube in production to a new tube diameter, Over-form (160-250mm). This is KraussMaffei Berstorff's positive response to the development of pipe production from the standardized high-volume production stage to a variety of customized, high-quality, customized production trends. It can save time and reduce costs. It is a typical example of economical and economical production, said Bengt Schmidt, vice president of plastic extrusion business in China. In addition, the system can provide pipe manufacturers with a high degree of flexibility to ensure maximum Market competitiveness. 'The rapid investment reduction system is to invest in smart and efficient production, paving the way for the future 'wisdom factory' construction. ' Schmidt said.
