The CFW MACHINE is designed for the continuous production of GRP pipes. Pipe manufacturing is done on the rotating mandrel assembled with discs, aluminium beams and steel band, sized according to the required pipe diameter. The steel band is moving in the axial direction, sliding over the bearings inserted in aluminium beams. At the end of the mandrel, exit head guides the steel band into the mandrel inner tube. On the opposite end of the mandrel, the steel band is wounded on the mandrel again. Steel band forms a smooth surface mandrel with simultaneous advancing in the axial direction. Raw materials are applied simultaneously on various mandrel positions depending on production technology. The laminate building-up can be easily made in compliance with the appropriate design by controlling the amount and position of various materials applied.

After the curing oven, the pipe is automatically cut and calibrated to the required length by a suitable cutting unit.

CFW MACHINE TYPES

• CFW600 : 300 – 600mm pipes
• CFW2600 : 300 – 2600mm pipes
• CFW4000 : 300 – 4000mm pipes
  

The CFW MACHINE is designed for very high production capacity. It is ideal choice when the GRP pipes are used for water transmission and distribution, desalination plants, cooling  systems in power plants, irrigation projects and sewage systems.
