Discontinuous Filament Winding PLANT FOR PIPES

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information on discontinuous filament winding plants for pipes, specifically designed for manufacturing GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) or GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy) pipes. These plants comply with the A.S.T.M. code D 2996 standards.

Specifications: The equipment allows for the production of pipes with integral bell and spigot joints. The winding process involves a fixed length, rotating mandrel with raw materials distributed by a horizontally moving carriage. The pipe properties are influenced by the raw material ratio and the winding angle of the fiberglass, which ranges from 35° to 90°.

Applications: The pipes produced are suitable for various applications including potable and household water, industrial and chemical plants, waste and sewer water, irrigation, sea water intake and outfalls, district heating, process piping, oil and gas, marine, and both onshore and offshore uses.

Design Variables: The pipes can have diameters ranging from ND 25 to 4000 mm, lengths up to 12 m, nominal pressure up to 40 bar, and stiffness from 1250 to 10,000 N/m². Joint options include bell and spigot with double o-ring, glued bonded taper, lock joint, and threaded.

Plant Characteristics: The plant supports GRP production from ND 25 to 4000 mm and GRE production from ND 25 to 1200 mm. Mould lengths are available in 6, 9, or 12 m, with single or multi-mandrel options. The system is CNC controlled with 2 axes, supporting both helical and radial winding, and includes a sand application system for the core.

VEM Scope of Supply: The supply includes liner stations, single or multi-mandrel helical winding stations, curing stations, post-curing ovens, hydraulic stripping and de-moulding stations, rectifying/threading stations, pipe hydrotester, and a universal tensile machine for various tests. Additionally, VEM provides know-how transfer, installation, commissioning, training, and after-sales service.

Discontinuous Filament Winding PLANT FOR PIPES-2

DISCONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING PLANTS FOR PIPES This traditional type of the filament winding equipment allows the manufacture of GRP or GRE pipes with integral bell and spigot joints complying with A.S.T.M. code D 2996 Standard Specification for Filament Wound Reinforced thermosetting resin pipes) type 1, grade 2, class E. The winding of the filaments is performed on a fixed length, rotating mandrel. The raw materials are distributed by a carriage moving horizontally alongside the mandrel. After the construction of the required pipe thickness, the pipes are subject to curing and are then removed...
