PVC Pipe Manufacturing

PVC Pipe Manufacturing: PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. You can start this as small and medium scale basis. PVC pipe nowadays a widely used material in electrical, irrigation and construction industry. Use of PVC pipes as electrical conduits is well accepted in the household and industrial activities. PVC pipes have wider acceptance for water supply. Such as light-weight, low cost, easy installation, non-corrosiveness, high tensile strength to withstand high fluid pressure etc.

Raw Materials: The required major raw materials are PVC resin, DOP, Stabilizers, Processing acids, Lubricants, Colours, Fillers. Major utilities required are electricity and water.
PVC Pipe Manufacturing Process Flow Chart: In the manufacturing process, various steps are taken as follows
1. Extrusion PVC uncompounded resin, To confer the required processing and end instability, it is necessary to mix additives with the PVC resin. Following are some of the additives which are generally used for the manufacture of rigid PVC pipes.
Plasticizers: plasticizer in use is DOP, DIOP, DBP, DOA, DEP,
Stabilizers: The common stabilizers are lead, barium, cadmium, tin, stearate etc. Lubricants: Widely used lubricants are Buty-Stearate, Glycerol Moni-Stearate, Epoxidised Monoester of oleic acid, stearic acid etc. Fillers: Fillers are also used for producing
Plasticizers: Plasticizer in use are DOP, DIOP, DBP, DOA, DEP, Reoplast, Paraplexetc. Stabilizers: The common stabilizers are lead, barium, cadmium.

Fillers: Fillers are also used for producing the special quality product (e.g. calcined clay is used to improve the electrical properties of cable compounds).
PVC resin is to be compounded with plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants and fillers to improve process ability and improve the ensure stability. PVC resin is compounded with other ingredients in a high-speed mixer.
The compound resin is fed to the double screw extruder where the inserts and die body for the required pipe diameter are fitted. The PVC compounds are then passed through a heated chamber and they get melted under the compression of the screw and temperature of the barrel. Pipe is done at the time of extrusion.

2. Traction: Tube traction unit is required for continuous haulage of the pipes being extruded by the extruder.
3. Sizing: The pipes coming out from the extruder is cooled in the sizing operation. Two types of sizing used for manufacturing of pipes, Pressure sizing, Vacuum sizing.
4. Cutting: The last operation needed is cutting. Basically two cutting techniques for rigid PVC pipes viz. manual and automatic. The pipes are then tested for ISI marks.
The last step of PVC pipe manufacturing is the transport.
