"We see a lot of growth in pipe extrusion, particularly in the infrastructure sector here in China. For Chinaplas, we are focusing on our wide range of complete production line solutions for all pipe applications", says Toni Bernards, CEO of battenfeld- cincinnati China.
solEX: best performance for large diameter PO gas pipes
"Air pollution is a problem in China and this has resulted in efforts to promote gas pipelines. These pipes are mainly made from PO and battenfeld-cincinnati China is known as a technology leader in this segment. Our solEX extruders are ideal for gas pipe production due to their processing properties and high outputs. They are also ideal for large diameter pipes that are often used in gas pipelines," adds Toni Bernards.
solEX single screw extruders offer top performance for smooth and corrugated PO pipe extrusion (up to 2,750 kg/h for smooth HDPE pipe and up to 2,200 kg/h for corrugated HDPE pipe). They have high throughputs thanks to their optimized screw geometry and large processing length. At the same time, they offer excellent melt homogeneity and low melt temperatures for best product quality. AC motors ensure low energy consumption – in total, solEX extruders use 15-25% less energy than conventional extruders. At Chinaplas, a solEX 60-40-C will be shown at the booth with the new control system BCtouch UX, which was introduced to the Chinese market last year.
leanEX: efficient turnkey solution for standard PVC pipes

"PVC pipes are also a growing sector in the Chinese market because of growing urbanization and the replacement of old pipe systems. They are used in infrastructure projects, e.g. for cable duct and sew-age applications because of their long lifetimes and easy installation. battenfeld-cincinnati China offers extruders for the whole range of PVC pipe production. For standard applications and medium sizes we recently introduced the leanEX conical twin screw extruders," explains Toni Bernards.
The new leanEX conical twin screw series features the same concept of high automation, speed and outputs as that of the well-known leanEX PO pipe extruders. Based on European technology, the machines are designed for standard PVC pipe applications. Optimized, nitrated screws ensure high plasticizing performance and wear protection at output rates of up to 270 kg/h for pipe and 150 kg/h for profile. Maintenance-free AC motors, efficient barrel temperature control and proven screw core thermoregulation ensure easy handling and long lifetimes. The leanEX series comes with the BC Compact control, which has a 12 inch screen with an intuitive user interface for simple data entry.

At Chinaplas, the leanEX 2-58R-CL model will be exhibited at the booth. After the show, this machine will go to a Chinese pipe manufacturer.
State-of-the-art equipment for thermoforming sheet and technical PVC sheet
battenfeld-cincinnati also offers a wide range of equipment for the production of thermoforming sheet for food packaging, such as the high-speed extruders and the Multi-Touch roll stacks that ensure excellent product quality even at high line speeds.
For technical PVC sheet, which is used in protective covers, as decorative sheet or for laminating credit cards, planetary roller extruders with outputs of up to 4,000 kg/h are available.
