Extrusion International 1-2025

39 Extrusion International 1/2025 The double-spiral design of the Venus 1600 promotes even material ow, reducing the risk of thickness incon - sistencies often associatedwith large pipe diameters. The centring system provides a two-fold approach: mechani- cal adjustments align the die-head for correct position- ing, while thermal control ensures temperature stability within the die. This combination allows for precise, on- the- y adjustments to maintain pipe centring and thick - ness uniformity under varying production conditions. Achieving high output for large-diameter pipes re- quires an exceptional cooling and vacuum system, which Tecnomatic has addressed with a vacuum length of over 20 meters. This extended vacuum zone provides rapid and effective cooling, essential for maintaining pipe shape and structural integrity during high-speed production. The optimized vacuum design helps the line achieve superior production rates without compromising on quality. Tecnomatic’s line is complement- ed by premium downstream equipment, supplied by a renowned Italian manufac- turer known for quality and precision in pipe handling systems. The downstream components include a 12 caterpillars haul-off and a knife cutting unit that work in sync with the lines’ output capacity, ensur- ing smooth and pre- cise handling of pipes throughout the production process. This high-quality down- stream setup minimizes the risk of deformation and maintains the pipe’s roundness and clean cutting nish, crucial for large-diameter applications where dimensional ac- curacy and surface quality are non-negotiable. Tecnomatic’s advanced PE pipe extrusion line, com- bining the EVO Zeus extruders with a high-precision die-head and robust downstream equipment, provides a comprehensive, future-proof solution for large-diam- eter pipe production. With innovations in energy ef - ciency, material control, and throughput stability, this line is set to rede ne the standards of cost-effective, high-quality PE pipe production in Europe.
