Flat and round drippers

Specialising in extrusion systems for irrigation tubes, Profile Dies has recently developed a high speed line for the production of tubes and the simultaneous insertion of flat drippers. This line features a throughput/output speed of 150 metres a minute, producing tubes with a minimum thickness of 0.15 mm, and inserting up to 800 drippers a minute.
The extrusion line, fitted with an automatic dripper insertion unit, includes gravimetric feeders, extruders with  65 or 80 mm screws, a coextruder with a 20 mm screw, special head, calibration and cooling tanks, take-offs, mechanical drill and automatic winder. It is also available with a hot runner injection mould with up to 96 cavities for drippers.
The company also offers a version for making tubes with round drippers. In this case, output speed is between 80 and 100 metres a minute for tubes with a diameter of between 16 and 20 mm, with up to 400 drippers a minute inserted.
