Tecnomatic’s multilayer pipes are used extensively in Europe for installations using trenchless techniques or where no imported backfill is used. Tecnomatic has developed complete lines for the production of two, three or four layers pipes, even in large diameter size. A project in 1.200 mm three layers is the milestone of the multilayer production made by Tecnomatic. According to requirements, custom fit solution can be offered and engineered to maximize performance, cost saving, and space, without compromises on product quality.

Polypropylene pipe has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance properties making it ideal for a range of application as hot & cold water, waste & drainage and industrial for transporting aggressive media. The competence and experience of Tecnomatic extend to this entire sector and cover the production of PP-R, PP-RCT monolayer pipes, with glass reinforcement (to bring additional benefits), or up to seven layers with innovative protection properties. The growing market of PP waste & soil pipes has also seen the company very active with the design of high output lines, especially as multilayer solution with mineral fillers. The top and bottom layers of these pipes are made of polypropylene and middle layer made of mineral filler polypropylene compounds which guarantees high mechanical resistance, excellent acoustic performance and resistance to the agents.

Plastic pipe systems for heating and plumbing are available in a wide variety of materials. Crosslinked Polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PE-X is the most popular material for hot and cold water application. The success of this material is mainly related to its elevated temperature capabilities (up to 80°c), improved flexibility while resisting tensile deformation, resistance to abrasion and toughness. Heating pipes may come in multilayer solution, up to five, with EVOH oxygen barrier for protection from physical, chemical and UV damage or in Polybutylene (PB) and PE-RT materials. For this application Tecnomatic has specifically developed high speed lines based on the innovative die-heads Athena, made of radial spiral modules, which have great advantages: do not have any dead zones or edges where material could stop and grant an easy cleaning and rapid assembling/disassembling operation. Besides the manufacturing of heating plumbing system, the gained experience in small thermoplastic tubes has allowed the developments of tailor made solution for the market of technical tubes in PA, ABS, PU, PTFE for the industrial applications.

Plastic pipes systems have been used very successfully for gas distribution and pressure up to about 10 bar, solving the corrosion and reliability issues of steel and ductile iron systems. Significant increase in pressure rating can be obtained by the development of multilayer and composite pipe constructions, to satisfy specific application requirements. Reinforce Thermoplastic Pipes (RTP) pipes have great potential to do this by meeting requirements for medium and even high-pressure transmission lines.The use of glass fibre, aramid tapes, Kevlar and even stainless steel chord reinforcement result in substantial advantages for the handling of corrosive fluids, for transport of oil & gas from deep sea fields and for the gas distribution system, replacing the use of steel pipes into the indoor and high pressure gas application up to 40 bar. Products are individually tailored to meet the specific requirements of the application and the production lines are designed in accordance to the number of layers and wrapping process; for different reinforcing materials or angles, selected in order to withstand internal or external pressure or longitudinal stress.

Corrugated pipe have become the chosen pipe for many drainage applications. The use of double wall corrugated pipes is increasing thanks to factors such as the pipe’s strength, durability, joint integrity, and long-term cost-effectiveness. Polyethylene and Polypropylene corrugated pipes are flexible in two directions, are chemical resistant, offer a good hydraulic flow and gain advantage over the rigid pipes made of traditional materials like clay stone or concrete. Light and material saving the pipes are easy handled for transport, installation cost and maintenance. Corrugated pipes are used in a wide variety of other applications. In smaller sizes, single wall and from additional materials like PA, TPE, TPR, PTFE are commonly used for cable protection, telecommunication, medical, automotive and food industries. Depending on which application and material, Tecnomatic offers a vast choice of extruders with processing length ranging from 24 L/D to 40 L/D to fit the customer’s need with the most efficient solution. For bigger diameter size (drainage & sewage) the adoption of gearless extruders, which guarantees a constant and specific output over the speed range even at high pressure but with extremely lower power consumption, is particularly interest.

Advances in cable technologies, as well as the expense of repairing sensitive cable materials like fiber optic cable, have driven preferences for protective conduit instead of direct burial. PE conduit serves two primary industries: communications (telephone, CATV, data transmission) and electrical (power transmission). In the communications industry, the advent of fiber optic cable has had a tremendous impact due to its significantly higher data-carrying capacity, particularly due to the explosion of the Internet. In telecommunications service (phone, data transmission), fiber optic cable is used, along with traditional copper cable. In cable television service (CATV), fiber optic is also growing rapidly in addition to (or replacing) coaxial cable. This progression toward fiber optic cable has made the need for protection more critical, since these materials are highly sensitive to moisture and mechanical stress. High-speed extrusion lines for the production of micro-duct pipes are designed at Tecnomatic to reach the most efficient production with precision control of the size, of the layers, and weight. An accurate manufacturing and selection of electronic and mechanical parts ensure a maximum automation and production at the best speed rate available. To group the micro-ducts in bundles, used in network application, a turn-key solution starting from the unwinding units to special coilers for drums can be offered, or engineered according to specific requirements.
