A new extrusion line for PE irrigation pipes with flat drippers has recently been sold by Profile Dies to a Brazilian processor. The extruded pipe has a thickness ranging from 0.15 to 1 mm and an inner diameter of 12-16-20-22 mm.
The line can reach a speed of 120 m/min, permitting the insertion of 700-800 drippers per minute. The sale included a hot runner mould with 64 or 80 cavities for the drippers, a mechanical driller and an automatic or semiautomatic pipe coiler.
