Production Line Comparison
Wrapping Machine Type and Brand Representation- Planetary - Ridgeway: This machine supports continuous production of 2 km per GF roll and accommodates pipe diameters ranging from 25 to 300 mm (1”-12”). It features gaps in the G.F tape wrapping, uses 4 pads of 1600 mm, and supports single piece tape widths of 50-60 mm. The tape material can be glass or carbon fibre, and it operates at pressures up to 30 Mpa, applicable in oil, gas, and water markets.
- Planetary - KraussMaffei, Glodstone - China: Similar to the Ridgeway, this machine also supports 2 km per GF roll but for pipe diameters of 45 to 250 mm (1.57”-7.87”). It also has gaps in the G.F tape wrapping, uses 4 pads of 1600 mm, and supports the same tape widths and materials. However, it operates at a lower pressure of up to 20 Mpa, suitable for oil and gas markets.
- Co-Axis - Banline - China/USA: This machine offers a higher continuous production capacity of 5+ km per GF roll and supports a wider range of pipe diameters from 50 to 630 mm (2”-24”). It does not have gaps in the G.F tape wrapping, uses only 1 pad of 3300 mm, and supports wider tape widths of 90-360 mm. It also uses glass or carbon fibre tape materials and operates at pressures up to 36 Mpa, applicable in oil, gas, and water markets.
