  • Publication number: 20200230902
    Abstract: The invention is a mold (100) of an apparatus to produce plastic pipe that consists of the body (2) that has been supported to its place, the roll like roll organs (1.1) that have been supported to the body by the roll organs (3) that have been set to move the plastic pipe axially in its production process, additionally, it consists of at least four chain organs (1) the chains (1?) of each of which consist of the mentioned roll organs and joints (1.4) between them where each chain has been set to go round at least two chain wheels (1.2, 1.3) and each joint has been supported at the ends of its axis (1.6) to at least two like conductors (1.

  • Publication number: 20190054680
    Abstract: An apparatus to move plastic tube lengthwise in its production process, includes a support organ and move apparatus The counterpart of the support organ rotates with the feeding perimeter speed of the material fed upon it into the same direction with it. The support organ and the move apparatus fit concentrically one after the other. A center axis has bearings to keep it in its place concentrically with the support organ and the move organ. Three essentially lengthwise adapted move organs upon the perimeter the size of the counterpart continuation perimeter or greater perimeter with equal distribution installed move organs are supported with support organs from the center axis and rotate with the center axis. The out part of the mover of every move organ press against the inner surface of the plastic tube to move itself and the plastic tube into its production direction with the speed.

  • Publication number: 20180117827
    Abstract: A plastic tube has an inner tube, a stiffener layer, and an outer tube. The inner tube is arranged the support organ. A corrugated stiffener preform is formed with corner area walls shaped thinner than the other walls. The preform is fed upon the inner tube to form a stiffener layer that advances with a certain pitch upon the inner tube. The corner parts of every stiffener yield and the brush angle (?) between the lamellas of the outside gets greater than the corresponding brush angle between the lamellas of the inner side. The stiffener is joined to the inner tube with a melted plastic layer and fed upon the stiffener plastic tape joined to the stiffener with a melted plastic layer. Between the settled edges of the plastic tape a spiral weld joint is formed so that the plastic tape forms the outer tube.

  • Patent number: 7347910
    Abstract: A method for producing a lightweight end wall of a containers characterized by the following stages: manufacturing a large size lightweight thermoplastics tube by spirally winding and joining together a hollow profile of thermoplastics, cutting a piece from such a tube to form a pre-form of an end wall, heating the pre-form into a mouldable state, pressing the pre-form into a dome shaped piece between a male and a female mould-half, cooling the dome shaped piece while pressed between the mould-halves, maching-tooling the edges of the cooled piece to match the cross-sectional surface of the tube mantle, and joining the mantle and the end wall together by welding.

  • Patent number: 6939424
    Abstract: This invention concerns a method and an apparatus for making a spirally-wound tube from a hollow thermoplastic profile (1) having a substantially rectangular cross-section, which method comprises the steps of: winding the thermoplastic profile (1) around a drum (2) and joining adjacent loops together by welding, and smoothing the outer weld joint (13) by means of extra heat and a smoothing body resting against the weld joint (13).

  • Publication number: 20050003118
    Abstract: This invention concerns a method for producing a lightweight end wall of a container as well as an unpressurized thermoplastic container, the mantle of which being a lightweight tube manufactured from a spirally wound hollow profile and the end wall of which being fixed by welding. The invention is characterized in that a thermoplastics hollow profile is spirally wound and adjacent rounds are welded together in order to produce a lightweight tube, from which tube a piece is cut to form a pre-form of the end wall, the pre-form is heated into a mouldable state and pressed in a dome shape between a male and a female mould-half, the edges of the mould piece are machine-tooled after cooling to match the cross section of the container mantle, and the thus obtained end wall piece is fixed to the mantle of the container by welding.
