 Overview

Used HDPE pipe fitting machines are the most cost-effective choice for small and medium pipe manufacturers to produce HDPE elbows, tees, reducers and flange fittings. Compared with new machines, second-hand equipment features low investment, fast delivery and quick production startup.

Effective Solutions

Injection System

1. Screw and barrel wear, poor plasticization

2. Material backflow, unstable injection volume

3. Injection pressure fluctuation

4. Nozzle clogging and material leakage

HDPE fittings have bubbles, sink marks, uneven weight; high raw material waste; unqualified product rate increases

Replace worn screw and barrel; clean and polish nozzle; replace check ring; calibrate injection pressure and speed parameters

Clamping System

1. Insufficient mold clamping force

2. Tie bar aging and uneven tension

3. Slow mold opening and closing

4. Mold flash easily occurs

Fitting burrs (flash), mold damage risk, long production cycle, low hourly output

Adjust clamping force parameters; overhaul and tension tie bars; replace aging hydraulic seals; clean mold surface and calibrate mold parallelism

Hydraulic System

1. Hydraulic oil leakage and oil pollution

2. Oil pump abnormal noise and pressure instability

3. Solenoid valve stuck

4. Machine overheating during operation

Irregular machine action, sudden shutdown, frequent equipment alarms, shortened machine service life

Replace old hydraulic oil and filter element; overhaul oil pump and solenoid valve; clean oil circuit; install heat dissipation equipment

Temperature Control System

1. Heating ring damage and slow heating

2. Thermocouple failure, inaccurate temperature display

3. Local overheating or insufficient heating

HDPE material decomposition, black spots on fittings, incomplete melting, product cracking after molding

Replace damaged heating rings and thermocouples; calibrate temperature control system; set segmented heating parameters according to HDPE material characteristics

Electric Control System

1. Aging PLC and circuit failure

2. Touch screen malfunction and data loss

3. Sensor failure and parameter disorder

Random shutdown, unable to save production parameters, difficult to adjust processes, low production stability

Sort out and replace aging circuits; upgrade PLC and touch screen; replace faulty sensors; reset and lock production parameters

Auxiliary Equipment

1. Dryer low drying efficiency, wet raw materials

2. Chiller poor cooling effect

3. Manipulator positioning deviation

Fitting deformation, water bubble defects, long cooling time, low automatic production efficiency

Overhaul dryer and chiller; clean cooling water circuit; calibrate manipulator positioning; replace damaged auxiliary parts
