For heating and plumbing pipe, Maillefer will launch new forming and welding components used in the manufacture of crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) and aluminum composite pipe. Maillefer says features of note include easier forming-tool setup, elimination of wear and dust from TIG (tungsten inert gas) grounding, and improved weld inspection. Maillefer says it has redesigned all of the components on the PCL line, resulting in improved performance, efficiency, ease of operation, and processing quality.
In addition to equipment displays for the above products, Maillefer will present its full equipment portfolio, including extrusion lines for blown fiber tubes and microducts; medical IV tubes; automotive fuel line tubes with six or more functional layers; and gas and water pipes.
