State-of-the-Art PEX Line

More heating & plumbing pipe with less EVOH is possible with our five-layer PXL line. Extrude ultra-thin, low mol% EVOH for 5 or 3 layer PEX-b or PE-RT pipes.

 

PXL 32 with ultra-thin EVOH

This most recent version of the PXL line is designed for producing ultra-thin, low mol%, EVOH multi-layer pipe. It is a extrusion line for production of PEX-b or PE-RT pipes where the EVOH acts as an oxygen barrier.

 

Thanks to a flexible extrusion head configuration, PEX-b and PE-RT pipes can be produced in 5, 3 or even single layer with the same basic equipment, resulting in a large coverage of applications. Co-extrusion through the five-layer head protects the EVOH flow from water exposure, provides excellent bonding of the five layers and ensures quality notably with ultra-thin EVOH.

 

Benefits

  • Complete solution with fully integrated components
  • Ultra-thin EVOH extrusion capability for increased material savings
  • Tube outer diameter range from 14 to 32 mm
  • Five-layer co-extrusion for PEX and PE-RT pipe
  • Flexible layout possibilities and compact footprint.
