AMUT, ITALIAN MANUFACTURER OF EXTRUSION LINES FOR PIPES

Since 1958 AMUT, headquartered in Novara – Italy, is a global leader in the plastics extrusion field and manufactures different lines configurations to extrude pipes, offering solutions for several materials and diameters. The range of production includes: PVC pipe lines with diameter of 16-1200 mm for rigid pipes and 8-63 mm for flexible ones, PE pipe lines (mono and multilayer) with diameter  of 16-1600 mm and special pipes (multilayer) such as PE-X, PA (fuel pipe), PP with glass  fiber reinforced inner layer (hot water), flexible PVC braided/reinforced hoses, irrigation, foam core, corrugated, bi-oriented and automotive pipes.

Focused on the particular needs of its customers, AMUT mainly develops tailored lines  and special equipment. For instance, AMUT delivered in Vietnam an extrusion line for the production of PE100 pipes with an external diameter of 1000 mm: a new compact extrusion die and an extruder capable to reach an hourly capacity of 1200 kg have been specifically designed and manufactured for this purpose. The die is provided with 16-spiral distributors to guarantee a perfect wall thickness uniformity on the whole pipe, while  the extruder is based on bimetallic barrel and wear-proof coated screw.

These PA pipes are performing good flexibility, reduced water absorption and high resistance to low temperatures, humidity, cracking and abrasion. Though a continuous thickness control and diameter adjusting system, AMUT lines always  assure top quality pipes, even changing frequently product features and dimensions, at constant production working conditions.

The limited friction of the extruded material in the sizers allows to control tension acting on the pipe, to achieve high extrusion speed (such as 60 – 70 m/min in case of 5  layers pipe extrusion).
