Multilayer  Pipe Market

After the successful development of thin wall steel multi layer pipe production systems from 3 to 110 mm pipe diameter, THE has successfully finalised a thin wall Aluminium welding line. The equipment is available in the range from 3 to 12 mm pipe diameter and from 10 to 40 mm this for Aluminium wall thickness between 0.08 mm to 0.3 mm and production speeds up to 50 m/min. The lines are designed to accept standard Aluminium foils which can be used without edge cutting, this means no scrap is generated. The forming tool design is based on the well proved THE design, successfully used by many companies in the field of multi layer pipe production and for precision pipe production plants. A new compacting system (Pat Pend.) after welding grants an absolute perfect bonding between
the plastic and the metal layers. More: KWD-globalpipe, 2008-09-16, No.290.
