Technological innovation of large-diameter plastic pipes: integration of high efficiency, energy saving and intelligence

Large-diameter plastic pipes, with diameters exceeding 500mm, are often made of materials such as polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Due to their lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-efficiency performance, they are widely used in a variety of fields, including water supply and drainage, gas, agriculture, industry, chemical material transportation, and municipal engineering. As these pipes become increasingly widespread, technological innovation within the industry is also intensifying. Although the extrusion equipment and technology for large-diameter plastic pipes are relatively mature, companies are constantly innovating to meet diverse customer needs.

At the equipment level, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion equipment has entered a new stage of modularization, automation, and intelligence. The reliability, stability, and production accuracy of these equipment have been significantly improved. They can flexibly adapt to different types and specifications of plastic raw materials, thereby producing large-diameter plastic pipes that meet various needs.

Technically, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology has incorporated numerical simulation and optimization design methods, further improving production efficiency, stability, and accuracy. At the same time, modern electronic and computer control technologies are also widely used in the control systems of extrusion equipment, enabling real-time monitoring and closed-loop microcomputer control of the entire extrusion process, thereby ensuring stable process conditions and high-precision products.

Recently, large-diameter pipe design and extrusion technology have made new advances. This article will deeply analyze the new developments in large-diameter pipe extrusion technology that are currently attracting industry attention.

Jiangsu Xinrongplas Machinery Co., Ltd.

Jiangsu Xinrongplas Machinery Co., Ltd. recently launched its HDPE2000 pipe extrusion line. The core component of this line are the two kinds of efficient and stable single-screw extruder XR120-38 and XR90-38, which integrates an innovative screw feeder barrel and a separable screw design. This not only improves the plasticization rate but also ensures melt uniformity in the finished product. Furthermore, it is equipped with a water-cooled electrical cabinet, providing a constant temperature and humidity operating environment for the electronic components, thereby ensuring their stability and durability. The line can be optionally equipped with advanced operating systems such as a touch screen and data storage from B&R (Austria) or Siemens (Germany), facilitating user observation, operation, and maintenance. High-quality gearboxes ensure long-term, efficient operation, while digital communication signals offer strong anti-interference capabilities, ensuring precise control and feedback. Temperature control is accurate to ±1°C, and all communications utilize Ethernet connections, meeting the data collection requirements of Industry 4.0 and laying a solid foundation for subsequent visual production and remote monitoring.

The future development of large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology will be profoundly influenced by multiple factors, including technological advancements, market demand, environmental protection, and sustainable development. The following trends are likely to emerge:

First, high speed. With the continued evolution of extrusion technology, the extrusion speed of large-diameter plastic pipe is expected to increase further, significantly improving production efficiency.

Second, high efficiency. To better meet market demand, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology will pursue even higher efficiency, reducing production costs through optimizing production processes and improving equipment efficiency.

Third, energy conservation. Globally, energy consumption and environmental pollution are becoming increasingly prominent issues. Therefore, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology will place greater emphasis on energy conservation and environmental protection, adopting more energy-efficient technologies and equipment to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Furthermore, there's automation. With the continuous advancement of industrial automation technology, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology will gradually achieve automated production, leveraging automated control and testing technologies to improve product quality and production efficiency.

At the same time, intelligence and information technology will also become important trends. With the rise of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology will place greater emphasis on intelligent and information-based development, using data analysis and intelligent control systems to optimize production processes and improve management efficiency.

In summary, large-diameter plastic pipe extrusion technology will continue to develop and advance in many aspects to better meet market demand and promote industry progress.
