Line for large multi-layer PPR pipes AMUT has supplied a line for the production of multi-layer pipes in PP with glass fibre (diameter up to 630mm) to a European producer dedicated to hot and cold water ducting for civil and industrial applications. an accurate temperature during the production process (TERAX system). Any sagging effect is avoided and uniformity of the thickness can be maintained.

the dimensional quality of the pipe. An integrated computerised system (Surveyor) controls all the parameters during each phase of the production process. Innovative software manages the action of the vacuum pumps, and saves energy by reducing operating time.

Each extrusion tool is designed to reduce the time required for pipe dimension changes. The pipe head is equipped with an INRAF system for internal cooling of the pipe. This energy- saving concept allows the reduction of the number of cooling tanks, improving

The glass fibre improves the elastic module of the pipe, reducing the thermal expansion. Pipe installation costs are lower than for traditional pipe because pipe support is reduced during installation. The quality of pipes is generally enhanced. The line is composed of three single screw extruders, EA75 AMUT model, L/D 35:1, and one EA20 co-extruder for the coloured strips. The extruder for the inner layer is equipped with anti- abrasion treatment screw and barrel to process the glass fibre. The line is equipped with a special head designed for processing large- sized pipes with different configurations: three-layer with spiral-helical distribution system. The head is thermo-regulated through a dedicated TCU, keeping
