At the new Corr Plastik plant KraussMaffei Berstorff extruders

Corr Plastik Industrial, one of the Brazil's producers of PVC pipe, has substantially increased production capacity with a new factory in the North East of the country. The extrusion lines for the new plant were supplied by KraussMaffei Berstorff. The Corr Plastik site near Maceió, the capital of Alagoas state, covers an area of 60,000 square metres. In a first construction phase, the company has built a 7,500 square metre plant to produce water, irrigation and drainage pipes. In late 2009, KraussMaffei Berstorff supplied four pipe extrusion lines for the new plant.
Two of the lines were double-strand lines headed by KMD 75-36/R twin-screw extruders. The other two were single-strand lines with KMD 90-36/R twin-screw extruders. The lines are configured to produce pipe with an outer diameter of 20 to 250 millimetres and are capable of producing up to 2,800 tonnes PVC pipe a month. In January 2010, Corr Plastik boosted production at the plant to 3,100 tonnes a month with a line for corrugated pipe.
