EXTRUSION LINES FOR SHOTGUN SHELLS

Product catalog summary

Overview of Extrusion Lines for Shotgun Shells
The document discusses the extrusion lines developed by AMUT S.p.A. for producing bioriented pipes used in shotgun shells. This technology enhances the performance of thermoplastic materials, specifically HDPE, allowing for the production of thin-walled yet highly resistant pipes.

Specifications and Technology
The biorientation technology, developed since 1974, replaces traditional cardboard pipes with thermoplastic ones due to their superior properties. The mechanical biorientation technology uses a stretch-mandrel, offering advantages such as easy operation, high output, and the ability to cut pipes to size directly in-line. This method provides high tensile strength (over 22 kg/mm²), enabling the production of pipes that can be recharged up to 15 times.

Advantages
The extrusion line can produce small diameter pipes (11mm) necessary for smaller gauges (gauge 36 - .410), which are otherwise produced using expensive injection technologies. The line is flexible, allowing product changes within an hour.
