PU foaming without the use of environmentally harmful primers
The plasopipe process makes environmentally harmful and expensive primers for increasing adhesion to the plastic surfaces of PE, PP and PVC pipes obsolete. In addition, plasopipe is integrated directly into the pipe manufacturing process. This saves considerable resources in terms of labour, material and storage space.
Ideally, the system is positioned directly after the extruder and the cut-off saw.
In the plasma process, the entire inner walls as well as the outer sides are fully treated to ensure excellent adhesion for the PU insulation foam as well as colour adhesion for imprints and markings.
In addition to the use of the technology for insulating foams, plascopipe ensures the necessary increase in adhesion so that - with the use of permanent barriers - the escape of gaseous media or diffusion is prevented.
Compact and fully auto-matised design for easy operation
The plascopipe systems are designed so that a wide range of pipe diameters can be processed in one system without complicated tool changes. In the basic version, for example, pipe diameters of 70-400 mm can be processed.
The treatment electrode is designed so that it automatically adapts to the outer diameter of the pipe inserted.
The energy of the plasma generator always adapts to the corresponding wall thicknesses and provides sufficient power.
Other features include the brilliant touch panel and the interfaces, which facilitate easy integration into the complete production line. All operating units are perfectly integrated into the compact design and plasocpipe can be used flexibly on stable castors.
