Extrusion International 6-2020

38 Extrusion International 6/2020 PIPE EXTRUSION The E-GO single-screw technology makes it possible to obtain smooth, corrugated, multilayer or single-layer, rigid or fl exible pipes, with a variable diameter from small size to large sec- tion, assuring excellent melt homo- geneity of plastic materials such as PP, PP-R, PE, HDPE, LDPE, PE-X, PE-RT, PMMA, PC, PA and PU, ideal for a wide range of applications. Several sectors are concerned, namely from construc- tion to infrastructure, laying water and electricity mains and gas pipelines, from agriculture to medical, up to the mining, oil industry and automotive. Compact, ef fi cient and high- perfor- mance: E-GO pipe extruders stand out for the screw geometry which, in addi- tion to featuring an ad hoc design de- veloped on customers’ requirements, also introduces innovative solutions. This design choice makes it possible to obtain a high output in terms of Kg/ hr of the machine and to process poly- single user interface. Finally, in case of special processes such as co-extrusion, the E-GO single-screw pipe extruder can also be coupled to a two-screw so- lution. “Relying on Bausanomeans being sup- ported by a partner capable of design- ing the most appropriate formula to obtain the desired product, with the best turnkey extrusion system,” says Clemente Bausano, Vice President of Bausano who concludes, “In this spe- ci fi c case, POpipes are required tohave high properties in terms of resistance to abrasion, to corrosion, to chemical agents and impacts, as well as inter- nal pressure and heat, which Bausano guarantees by customising the core elements of the E-GO line, designed to achieve an unequalled production capacity”. Bausano & Figli Spa C.so Indipendenza 111, 10086 Rivarolo Canavese (TO), Italy www.bausano.com Worldwide, demand for polyole fi n pipes (PO) is growing steadily thanks to their excellent physical and mechanical properties, able to outclass the performances of other materials. In this connection, they are emerging as the preferred choice for the construction of sewerage and drainage infrastructure, as well as networks for the Oil & Gas industry, eating away at the metal and cement market shares. By virtue of its role in understanding the needs of the industry for over 70 years, Bausano – international leading player in the design and production of customised extrusion lines for the transformation of plastic materials – introduces E-GO: the renewed range of single-screw extruders for the production of PO pipes, resulting from the expertise of the Bausano technical Team, which has always designed solutions that stand for reliability and quality Concentrated Technology for Multiple Applications – Renewed Line of E-GO Single-Screw Extruders for PO Pipes presented ole fi ns without excessive mechanical stress. What is more, the speci fi c de- sign of both the screwand the cylinder, jointly with the low-input asynchro- nous motors, guarantee excellent en- ergy ef fi ciency. In addition to that, the solution is designed to assure operat- ing continuity and a superior life cycle of the line, owing to the low wear of the components, which contributes to signi fi cant overall savings. In setting up the line, the head and extrusion tools are noteworthy, as they assure the best pipe processing, while maintaining high capacity. The multi-stage gearbox with ground heli- cal gears, the cylinder heating system with ceramic heating elements and the cooling systemwith radial fans, the gravimetric doser or sliding hopper are also noteworthy. Plus, the Digital Ex- truder Control 4.0 makes it possible to monitor consumption and control the extruder and the entire line through a
