Processors benefit from long-standing par tnership between pipe machine exper ts

MOLECOR is not only a processor making PVC-O pipes in a wide range of different dimensions itself, but also a machine manufacturer offering customised complete lines to produce them jointly with battenfeld-cincinnati. Customers benefit from this vast pool of expert knowledge and are optimally prepared to meet the growth market of PVC-O pipes with the appropriate machine technology. Oriented PVC pipes are increasingly replacing metal and polyolefin pipes in the pressure pipe sector, due to their decisive advantages. “We Supply our customers with a plug and play solution immediately ready for use,” is how Gernot Dorn, sales manager PVC at battenfeld-cincinnati Austria GmbH, Vienna describes the decisive advantage of the machine manufacturer’s cooperation with the Spanish company Molecor Tecnologia

SL, based in Loeches-Madrid. Since its foundation in 2006, Molecor has seen enormous growth and is well known today as an experienced PVC-O pipe manufacturing company with production plants in Spain, Malaysia, South America and South Africa. “Thanks to our enormous wealth of experience, we make top-quality pressure pipes with an unparalleled price/performance ratio,” Dolores Herran, business development said director at Molecor, talking about the company’s special competence. PVC is an ideal raw material for pipe production, recommending itself by its range of good properties at a relatively favourable price. When compared with the competing metal pipe sector, plastic pipes score with corrosion resistance and easier laying; when compared with PE pipes, PVC pipes win by their 15 to 20 per cent lower material price. A further special feature of PVC-O pipes is their

profile of ideal mechanical attributes with higher free section for more flow transportation resulting from a special production method. This consists of two process steps: production of a thick- walled preliminary pipe on a standard PVC pipe extrusion line, and subsequent heating this proforma pipe and further forming of the pipe by orientation in a special mould. battenfeld-cincinnati and Molecor have now sold jointly more than 15 lines for producing PVC-O pipes world- wide. “Our success proves us right: the coordinated complete extrusion lines offer pipe manufacturers a clear edge”, Mr Dorn added.
