Analysis on the causes of water leakage in PE pipe extrusion production line

2024-04-17

There are several possible reasons for water leakage in the PE pipe extrusion production line:

Raw material quality issues: If the PE raw materials used are of substandard quality or contain impurities, it may cause holes or damage in the pipe products, causing water leakage.

Problems in the extrusion process: During the extrusion production process, if the temperature, pressure, speed and other parameters of the extruder are not properly controlled, or the extrusion head design is unreasonable, it may lead to defects inside or on the surface of the pipe, resulting in water leakage.

Extruder equipment problems: The extruder equipment itself is faulty or damaged, such as screw wear, extrusion head blockage, barrel damage, etc., which will affect the quality of the extruded product and cause pipe leakage.

Subsequent processing problems: In the subsequent processing steps after extrusion, improper operations such as cutting, welding, and connecting may cause the pipe surface to be uneven or the connections to be loose, resulting in water leakage.

External damage or destruction: During transportation, installation or use, the pipeline is damaged by impact, squeezing or scratching by external forces, which may cause water leakage in the pipeline itself or at the joints.

To solve the problem of water leakage in the PE pipe extrusion production line, it is first necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection and analysis of all aspects of the production line to find out the specific cause of the problem. Corresponding measures can then be taken in a targeted manner, such as optimizing raw material selection, adjusting extrusion parameters, maintaining equipment, improving processes, etc., to ensure that the quality of the pipe products produced meets the requirements and avoid water leakage problems.
