At Chenxing Machinery, we believe that delivering machinery isn’t just about building it—it’s about proving it. This week, our production floor completed a full trial run of a customized PE/PP pipe extrusion line, designed for a client producing high-volume drainage and pressure pipes.
Before packaging and shipment, every major production line we manufacture undergoes comprehensive testing. This approach ensures that each unit operates as promised under real-world conditions, offering confidence and consistency from day one.
A PE/PP pipe extrusion line is a complete set of machinery used to produce plastic pipes made from polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). These pipes are widely used in applications such as:
Agricultural irrigation
Water supply and drainage
Gas distribution
Cable protection
Industrial piping systems
The extrusion line includes several machines that work in synchronization to melt, shape, cool, and cut plastic into long, seamless pipes of consistent diameter and wall thickness.
A standard plastic pipe extrusion line includes:
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Auto loader + Hopper dryer | Feeds and dries plastic granules |
| Single screw extruder | Melts and conveys PE or PP material |
| Extrusion die head | Shapes the melt into a hollow pipe form |
| Vacuum calibration tank | Stabilizes the pipe’s outer diameter during cooling |
| Cooling tanks | Lowers pipe temperature further for solidification |
| Haul-off unit | Pulls the pipe forward at a synchronized speed |
| Cutter | Cuts the pipe to required lengths |
| Pipe stacker | Collects and organizes finished pipes for packaging |
Each module is tested individually and then together as a system to ensure the whole line operates smoothly and safely.

From screw rotation speed to die head pressure control, our engineers verify that every adjustment range works as expected.
The extrusion speed, haul-off speed, and cutter timing must all operate in harmony to avoid pipe deformation or length inaccuracies.
We extrude test pipe sections to confirm wall thickness uniformity, roundness, and surface smoothness.
Photos and videos of the pipe extrusion line trial run are shared with the customer, providing transparency and early feedback.
This test involved a line built for a Southeast Asian client targeting irrigation pipe production. Key features included:
Dual-cavity die head for increased output
Touchscreen PLC control panel for real-time monitoring
20–110 mm pipe diameter adjustment
Energy-efficient water spray cooling system
Inline pipe printing and meter marking
During the trial, our engineers:
Calibrated pipe sizing sleeves
Adjusted vacuum suction to match pipe diameter
Monitored extrusion temperature and torque curves
Validated the cutter’s accuracy at 6-meter intervals
The result: over 50 meters of defect-free PE pipe produced in one continuous run.
A versatile PE/PP pipe extrusion machine can handle different polymer types by adjusting barrel temperatures, screw design, and die head components.
Compatible materials include:
LDPE (low-density polyethylene)
HDPE (high-density polyethylene)
PPR (polypropylene random copolymer)
PP-B and PP-H for industrial applications
Multilayer co-extrusion can also be added for foam-core or reinforced pipe designs.
✅ Early error detection – Faults or component misalignments are fixed before shipment
✅ Faster installation on-site – Technicians spend less time calibrating when machine is proven ready
✅ Higher customer satisfaction – Buyers receive video evidence and product samples before final delivery
✅ Peace of mind – You know the line runs before it leaves our factory
This “trial before delivery” approach has helped us win repeat business and long-term trust from clients in over 40 countries.
During this week’s test, our team recorded:
Melt pressure stability graphs
Pipe surface images under LED inspection
Noise and vibration level readings at full speed
Stack-loading efficiency in real time
These test results are part of every order’s documentation package and help ensure fast acceptance once the line is on site.
Investing in a PE or PP pipe production line is a strategic decision for any plastics manufacturer. And a full-speed test run before shipping isn’t just quality assurance—it’s a signal of professionalism and long-term reliability.
At Chenxing, we don’t just build extrusion lines—we prove they work, so our customers can scale with confidence.
