Three lines for the production of PET pipes equipped with the new Performer extruders have just been shipped by Bandera to the Saudi plastics processor New Products Industries, for a 1.4 million euro order. The first of these lines is already producing 16 mm-diameter pipes, while the other two plants will produce pipes up to 450 mm. The new Performer extruders have a 75 mm diameter and L/D=38. They feature an innovative screw profile which grants a hourly production of 1 ton, keeping the melt properties, including temperatures, in the correct range.
