Φ110–Φ315mm PE/HDPE Three-Layer Pipe Extrusion Line

This video introduces a complete Φ110–Φ315mm PE/HDPE three-layer pipe extrusion line supplied by QTech-Machinery. The line is designed for producing medium and large diameter PE/HDPE pipes used in water supply, drainage, irrigation, industrial pipelines, municipal engineering, and infrastructure construction.
For customers searching for an HDPE water pipe extrusion line, an HDPE drainage pipe production line, or comparing PE/HDPE pipe equipment with a PVC pipe extrusion production line, this video provides a practical reference. It shows the complete production workflow from material feeding to finished pipe stacking.
The production line covers a pipe diameter range of Φ110–Φ315mm and is designed for an output capacity of 350–650kg/h, depending on pipe diameter, wall thickness, material formulation, and actual operating conditions. The complete system includes automatic feeding, drying, main extrusion, auxiliary co-extrusion, color line extrusion, meter weight control, pipe forming, vacuum calibration, spray cooling, servo haul-off, chipless cutting, and automatic pneumatic stacking.

Evidence-Based Result
Based on the available project information, the production line completed the intended workflow during testing, installation, and commissioning.
The line demonstrated that:
- Material feeding and drying systems supported the extrusion process.
- The main extruder operated with the auxiliary and color line extruders.
- The three-layer die head formed PE/HDPE pipes within the required range.
- The vacuum calibration tank supported pipe sizing and roundness control.
