Plastics have gained a significant place in today's automotive industry. There is a variety of multi-layer tube & pipe constructions, from vehicle fuel and vapor return tubes to larger distribution pipes for filling stations. Manufacturers turn to Multi-Layer Tube (MLT) co-extrusion technology as a solution to their production needs. The increased use of fuel additives like ethanol, stricter environmental regulations, and new raw materials with demanding processing characteristics are the principal drivers when specifying manufacturing solutions.

Our Super Steam Curing Calculation NSS is a recipe generator for the line control of Super Steam CV  lines (SSCV lines). By using a numerical simulation model, which contains heat transfer and cross-
linking kinetics, it optimizes the running conditions during cable production from start-up to shut-down. The calculated production parameters include line speed, tube heating zone temperatures, extruder outputs and screw speeds.

In time for the Holidays, Maillefer in Switzerland renewed the tradition of a center reserved for R&D excellence. Glasses were raised to toast the ribbon cutting ceremony, which was officiated by Lars Fagerholm - CEO, Félix Ferreiro - VP Pipe & Tube Business Line, and Philippe Moeschler - Operations Director, and included a demonstration of micro-drip irrigation lateral production.

Several criteria condition the type of micro-drip pipe to produce, like market situation, its readiness to adopt a modern irrigation technique, crop requirements and local climate, available raw materials and dripper designs, investment budget, and the performance targets are some of the points to consider.

A Service Level Agreement with Maillefer is in vigor at Estralin High Voltage Cable LLC in Russia. During a recent SLA visit, we gave the customer's equipment a maintenance check and gave their management a series of recommendations to improve performance. Since then, several actions have been undertaken. Estralin now requests additional support as they prepare for the upcoming bi-annual visit.
