helix – PO pipe dies suitable for a wide processing window

Dies made-to-measure to meet a great variety of customer demands

With its helix pipe die series, battenfeld-cincinnati offers a choice of different, custom-made PO pipe dies that can be selected and adapted to customers' requirements. For instance, for processing a wide range of materials with high outputs, the 2-step distributor concept of VSI dies is recommended. To process melt with fiber content, a spiral mandrel distributor is advantageous. The best solutions for processing materials requiring short dwell times like EVOH or PEX-b, are side-fed or spider-type mandrel distributors. We also make custom products, such as modified VSI dies for 4-layer applications, or 7-layer dies with 4 color stripes for PP pipes with fiber glass content and oxygen barrier layer, or multi-layer dies for processing materials requiring short dwell times such as PEX-b. It is also possible to have highly complex multi-layer dies equipped with different distributor concepts according to the requirements for the individual layers.
Our features:

• Depending on the field of application and requirement profile, a suitable melt distribution concept can be selected (VSI; spiral mandrel distributor; side-fed distributors; spider-type mandrel distributors or simple radial distributors).

Your benefits:

• High throughput
• Exact wall thickness distribution
• Long service life thanks to short dwell times of the melt in the die
