PLB HDPE Pipes
PLB HDPE pipes (Permanent Lubricated High-Density Polyethylene pipes) are advanced conduits designed to protect and support the installation of optic fibre and copper cables. These pipes are integral to modern telecommunications and data transmission infrastructure, providing a secure channel for cables while minimising friction during installation. Their robust construction and specialised lubricated inner layer make them essential for ensuring the smooth deployment of cables over long distances, reducing the risk of damage and maintaining the integrity of the network.
The importance of PLB HDPE ducts extends beyond cable protection—they play a crucial role in safeguarding data flow across industries like telecom, broadband, and railways. Essential features such as high tensile strength, UV resistance, and chemical resilience are vital in these pipes, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments. When choosing PLB HDPE pipes, it's imperative to prioritise these characteristics to ensure reliable, efficient, and cost-effective installations that stand the test of time.

Manufacturing Process
-
Raw Material and Pigment Mixing
The raw materials and pigments are automatically fed into a mixture system with a pre-set recipe. The preheated granules are then transferred to the extruder hopper for further processing.
-
Material Feeding to Extruder
Using a gravimetric or volumetric control system, the material is fed into the extruder through a hopper to ensure precise control over the flow of materials.
-
Heating in the Extruder
Within the extruder barrel, the material is heated to approximately 200°C. The load (melt pressure) and screw system friction cause the material to melt, preparing it for shaping.
-
Pipe Formation
The molten material is pushed through a die-head, commonly referred to as a spider. This process shapes the material into a pipe.
-
Pipe Calibration and Cooling
The newly formed pipe is calibrated to the correct size using a vacuum sizing tank. It is then cooled in a spray tank, ensuring dimensional accuracy and durability.
-
Printing and Cutting
The pipe is printed with relevant specifications and cut into desired lengths, or coiled as needed for the intended application.
-
Inspection and Quality Assurance
All pipes undergo thorough inspection and testing as per standard quality control protocols. After final inspection by QA, the pipes are marked as finished goods and dispatched as per delivery orders (DO).
