Applications

Conduit Systems Buried Underground

  • Economic production of smallest diameters (e.g., 32 mm i.d.)
  • Suitable for nearly all common single and double wall corrugated pipes

Drainage Pipes

  • Optimal static properties for infrastructure (fields, roads, squares, buildings)
  • Homogeneous material distribution via UNICOR die heads
  • Minimal wall thickness variation

Core Tube and Ventilation Pipe

  • Efficient production of special pipe shapes
    • E.g., ventilation pipes for home use and core tubes for spiral wound pipes

Uniform Operating Concept

  • Standardized operating concept across all machines (UC 210 / UC 280 / UC 5XX / UC 800)
  • Optimized utilization of machine park and employees

Tool Compatibility & Quick Clamping System

  • Maximum flexibility due to compatible mould blocks with UC 280 and UC 5XX
  • UNICOR quick-clamping system enables easy and fast mould block changes
    • 50% reduction in changeover time compared to UC 315
  • Improved machine availability

High Energy Saving

  • Up to 50% energy savings
  • Achieved via variable speed-controlled vacuum pump
  • Only 7.5 kW connected load required

Highest Quality & Efficiency

  • Excellent profile surface and shape quality
  • Easier processing and higher stability, even with recycled materials
  • Short dies and lower back pressure
  • Higher throughput
  • Greater material flexibility

Highest Flexibility

  • Nominal diameter range: 32 i.d. – 200 mm o.d.
  • Production of cable conduit and drainage pipes with no loss in productivity
  • Mold blocks compatible with UC 280 and UC 5XX without adapters

Maximum Efficiency

  • Maximum production speed: 30 m/min
  • Minimal changeover time for mold blocks
  • One drive unit for all applications
  • Extremely low operating costs
    • Speed-regulated vacuum pumps
    • Only 20 °C cooling water inlet temperature required

Total Process Control

  • Electronic control of process air
  • Registration and recording of all vacuum parameters
  • Monitoring and electronic control of all water inlet/outlet pressures and temperatures

Zoomable Middle Channel

  • Zoom capability allows use of pipe size-specific mould blocks
  • Results in very short dies and low back pressure
  • Middle channel can be completely opened for easy accessibility

Continuous Water Cooling of Mold Blocks

  • Continuous cooling of aluminium vacuum moulds
  • Ensures high-quality pipe production from the start
  • 98% repeatability of preset process parameters
