Choosing a Bulk Spiral Die-head is a strategic decision based on the type of pipe, output requirements, and quality expectations. Here's when you should choose a Bulk Spiral Die-head:
✅ When to Choose a Bulk Spiral Die-head
1. Producing Large-Diameter Pipes
Ideal for HDPE/PE/PP pipes with diameters from 160 mm to 2000+ mm.
Ensures even melt flow distribution across the large cross-section.
2. High Output Requirements
Required when your line targets >800–2000 kg/h output.
Spiral flow channels reduce melt resistance, enabling stable high-speed extrusion.
3. Need for Wall Thickness Uniformity
Spiral die-heads offer excellent concentricity, reducing variation in pipe wall.
Crucial for pressure pipes or structural pipes (e.g., SN8-SN16).
4. Multi-layer Co-Extrusion
Ideal for 2–5 layer pipes (e.g., outer wear-resistant layer, inner smooth layer).
Spiral distribution supports uniform layering without dead zones.
5. Low Melt Memory & Weld Lines
Spiral flow paths minimize weld lines, which improves mechanical strength.
Reduces internal stress and weak spots in thick-walled pipes.
6. Used for Structured Wall Pipe or Krah Pipe
Bulk spiral die-heads are used in profiled wall pipe (e.g., Krah or Belling systems).
Helps in producing lightweight but high-stiffness pipes.
7. Need for Stable Melt Pressure and Flow
Especially important in long-run continuous production where pressure fluctuation must be minimized.
