Hot punching of PVC profiles

Thanks to its know-how and boasting one of the best technology in the world for punching profiles and pipes, Baruffaldi Plastic Technology-Primac has developed the new HPM-10 hot punching machine for profiles. The system allows the punching of multiwall profiles without the use of die and with no limitation as regards the geometry of the shape to be punched.

The machine is destined to meet the needs of Australian building companies, using profiles of a minimum length of 2000 mm with "bean-shaped" punched holes (size of about 16 x 7.5 cm.) These profiles, filled with reinforced concrete, are used for buildings foundation, as a plastic structure will elude problems of moisture over time.

The hot punching system can be installed both in-line, after the cutting device, and offline. The machine is versatile, thanks to its easy and fast format change, and makes it possible to recycle punching chips, evacuated automatically. The operation is silent and the end result gives a clean, high-quality product, thanks to precise punching without dust release, also to the benefit of the working environment.
