Internally Cooled Pipe Die Speeds Output, Reduces Stresses

摘要

This internal die cooling technology is available in this country from Inoex, a sister company to iBA, a developer of specialized technology for pipe dies and downstream cooling. Six of the iBA dies have been delivered since 2007. They range from 63 to 630 mm diam. and are used for PE-80, PE-100 and PP pipe production. The new die increases output of 63 -mm pipe up to 32%, 250-mm pipe up to 23%, and 630-mm pipe up to 18%, says iBA president Dr. Joerg Schmuhl, who invented the internal cooling technology.
