All models in the SJ series feature an optimized 25–33 L/D ratio screw geometry, providing sufficient residence time for complete melting and homogeneous mixing of PU, TPU, and NYLON resins. The screw and barrel are constructed from nitrided/ bimetallic alloy steel, offering extended wear life when processing abrasive or filled compounds. Hardened gearbox components and precision-ground helical gears ensure quiet operation and long-term transmission reliability.



Production Line Configuration

High-Speed Single-Screw Extruder

The primary plasticizing unit is a high-speed single-screw extruder equipped with a low-noise centrifugal cooling fan and a high-torque, hardened-gear reducer. The screw design is customized per material type: barrier screws for PU and TPU to ensure gentle shear and prevent thermal degradation, and metering-type screws for PE/PP to maximize throughput. Barrel heating zones use ceramic band heaters with independent PID temperature controllers, maintaining ±1 °C stability across all zones. For operators requiring consistent material feeding, we recommend pairing the extruder with our screw feeder / automatic feeding machine to eliminate manual hopper loading and ensure pulsation-free material intake.


Precision Die Head

The extrusion die head is fabricated from high-grade alloy tool steel and machined on advanced CNC machining centers to guarantee dimensional accuracy and flow channel uniformity. The spiral mandrel distributor design eliminates weld lines and ensures even melt distribution around the full circumference of the extrudate. Interchangeable die inserts allow rapid changeover between different hose diameters and wall thicknesses without replacing the complete head assembly. The die is compatible with both ether-type and ester-type PU formulations, as well as PE and NYLON grades used in coiled pneumatic hose production.


Vacuum Sizing & Cooling Tank

The vacuum sizing tank is constructed from high-hardness stainless steel plate (SUS304), resistant to corrosion from water and cooling fluids. It integrates an advanced water circulation system with a high-pressure spray cooling array and a vacuum pump with precision vacuum-degree regulation. The water temperature and level are controlled by an automated closed-loop system, maintaining optimal cooling rates for consistent hose roundness and dimensional stability. For facilities requiring additional cooling capacity, Chenxing offers the SML air-cooled chiller and SML water-cooled chiller series, configurable to match line speed and ambient conditions.


Automatic Chipless Cutting Machine

The cutting station employs a chipless rotary cutting mechanism that produces clean, burr-free cuts without generating dust or debris — a critical requirement for medical-grade, food-contact, and cleanroom hose applications. The cutter synchronizes with the line speed via an encoder feedback loop, ensuring accurate cut-length repeatability within ±1 mm. Compared to conventional saw-cut systems, the chipless design reduces material waste and eliminates post-cut deburring steps. For operations that also require downstream winding, our pipe coiler / double-station hose coiler provides automatic coil formation with programmable coil length and tension control.

Intelligent Control System

The entire production line is governed by a centralized PLC control system with a color HMI touchscreen interface. Key process parameters — barrel zone temperatures, screw RPM, melt pressure, vacuum level, water temperature, haul-off speed, and cut length — are displayed in real time and can be adjusted from a single operator panel. Recipe storage and recall functions allow instant changeover between different hose specifications, minimizing downtime and operator error. Alarm logs, production counters, and energy consumption monitoring provide valuable data for OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) analysis and preventive maintenance planning.

Hose Material Guide — Ether vs. Ester PU

Understanding the difference between polyether-based and polyester-based polyurethane is essential for selecting the optimal formulation for your target application. This extrusion line processes both types equally well, with simple screw and temperature profile adjustments.

Polyether-Based PU (Ether Type)

Polyether polyurethane hoses are characterized by outstanding hydrolysis resistance, making them the preferred choice for applications involving continuous water contact or high-humidity environments. They exhibit superior resistance to bacterial and fungal growth, which is critical for gardening hoses, potable water tubing, cleaning equipment hoses, and food-processing transfer lines. Ether-type PU also demonstrates excellent low-temperature flexibility, maintaining elasticity and impact resistance at sub-zero temperatures where other polymers become brittle. Weather resistance and UV stability further extend service life in outdoor installations.

Typical applications: Garden irrigation hoses, pressure washer hoses, water transfer lines, aquaculture tubing, food-grade liquid transfer, outdoor pneumatic tool hoses.


Polyester-Based PU (Ester Type)

Polyester polyurethane hoses deliver maximum abrasion resistance and mechanical strength among all PU variants. They excel in applications where the hose is subject to constant flexing, dragging across rough surfaces, or exposure to oils, solvents, and hydrocarbon-based fluids. The higher tensile strength and tear resistance of ester-type PU make it the material of choice for hydraulic return lines, fuel transfer hoses, and industrial pneumatic coiled hoses operating in machine shops and automotive service environments. Ester PU also provides excellent resistance to swelling when in contact with mineral oils and grease.

Typical applications: Automotive brake fluid lines, fuel transfer hoses, pneumatic coiled hoses for workshop tools, hydraulic return lines, lubrication system tubing, oil-resistant industrial hoses.


PE and NYLON Spiral Hose Variants

Beyond PU, this extrusion line also accommodates PE (polyethylene) and NYLON (polyamide) spiral hose production. PE spiral hoses offer excellent chemical resistance at a lower raw material cost, suitable for cable protection conduits and general-purpose pneumatic tubing. NYLON spiral hoses provide the highest pressure ratings and temperature resistance, ideal for heavy-duty hydraulic pilot lines and high-pressure pneumatic circuits. For manufacturers exploring PVC flexible hose production, Chenxing also offers dedicated PVC spiral hose extrusion solutions.
