Brief summary
The global demand for plastic pipes has grown exponentially and, over the next few years, is set to increase for a large variety of applications: from water and gas supply networks, rainwater drainage and the transport of various fluids to energy supply systems and sprinkler systems. In this market context, we announce that we have completely revamped our ranges for the extrusion of soft and rigid, transparent, filled or press-filled PVC, PP and PE pipes in order to meet the ever-increasing demands of manufacturers for excellent melt homogeneity, flexible processes, maximized output and reduced energy consumption.
Bausano renews its extrusion lines for pipes
The main innovations include the launch of a new generation of extrusion heads. In particular, for the manufacture of PVC pipes, Bausano offers a range of models, either double (up to 110mm) or single outlet (from 10 to 800mm), for a maximum output of 2,000kg/h. As for the extrusion of polyolefin (PO) pipes, Bausano’s technology is designed to ensure high hourly throughput with reduced energy consumption.
The heads have a compact design for single-layer or multi-layer production: radial spiral, ensuring better melt distribution within a smaller volume and with reduced pressure build-up, or helical spiral. These are modular systems where the number of layers can be easily increased by adding special modules.
A combination of both helical and radial is also possible depending on the structure of the pipe, materials and dimensions. The offer also includes an internal air pipe cooling system, which cools the pipes more quickly, thus improving their quality and taking up less space when installing the line.
Cutting-edge solutions for energy efficiency and precision
Bausano’s ranges also include the innovative Smart Energy System for heating the cylinder through an electromagnetic field, thus saving up to 35% on energy.
The Bausano lines also consist of new end-of-line accessories such as cooling and calibration benches made from stainless steel, which are crucial to the success of the whole extrusion process, with pipes that are cut to size and have a flawless surface.
Specifically, the tank for PVC allows for quick and accurate positioning during processing due to the three axes, which can be easily adjusted, and the motorized longitudinal movement. In the case of PO pipes, the benches are designed to calibrate and cool a wide range of diameters between 5 and 1600mm.
Last but not least, a dual chamber configuration is available for both applications, with temperature and water level control, which allows different vacuum conditions to be created as required.
Bausano's Commitment to Innovation and Performance
“We made the decision to upgrade our extrusion lines for PVC, PE and PP pipes as we wanted to meet the demands of manufacturers that always need to ensure that their supplies are in compliance with technical requirements, without compromising on efficiency and performance,” says Clemente Bausano, Vice President of Bausano.
He then concludes, “The design of the new extrusion heads and end-of-line accessories stems from our unique ability to combine process consulting, technological expertise and a passion for innovation. Our people are the driving force behind our efforts, which have the ultimate goal of streamlining our customers’ industrial processes and of ensuring the highest possible level of performance.”
