New extrusion line enables DPI Plastics to produce 630mm PVC pipes

摘要

Following the final installation of its new Krauss Maffei extrusion line, DPI Plastics is due to begin production of its new 630mm bore PVC pipes, in July 2013. Technical ahd product manager, Renier Snyman, notes that the company identified the need to increase the maximum bore of its PVC pipe range from 500mm to 630mm following numerous queries from the local market. "After completing a thorough market study in late 2012, we identified significant potential for 630mm PVC pipes in bulk water and sewerage appiications and made the decision to install the new extrusion line at our Johannesburg factory in early 2013."
