The extra-large pipe extrusion line ordered from KraussMaffei Berstorff will enable P.E.S. to advance into new dimensions and to add smooth-walled HDPE pipes 1800, 2000, 2200 and 2400 millimetres in diameter to its production spectrum. The new line, headed by a KME 150-36 B/R single-screw extruder and a KM-RKW 40-2400 pipehead, has all the key features that have established KraussMaffei Berstorff as the technology leader in extra-large pipe extrusion. This includes the proven design of the 36D single-screw extruder, a pipehead concept where the spiral distributor design incorporates the latest rheological research, and a KraussMaffei Berstorff calibration system.
