PipePlus Machine Key Advantages
Simple Operation and Maintenance
Afinitas understands the need for efficiency in your operations. For this reason, we use off-the-shelf components wherever possible to make the PipePlusPlus easy to run and maintain. Here’s how it works:
- A concrete distributor chute automatically adjusts to the form size in the fill station and begins to feed concrete into the form.
- The feed rates and vibration settings are stored in the PLC for each product type (manual control also available).
- After the tongue former is placed in the filled form set, the PipePlusPlus pressheading cycle automatically commences.
- The presshead presses the tongue former to form the spigot, trowels the joint surface, and returns to the home position for the next pipe.
- For added flexibility, concrete pipes can be offborne from the PipePlusPlus machine with an automatic or conventional overhead crane.
High Productivity, Flexibility and Versatility
Expanded Output with PipePlus Multiforms
Quick Form Changeover
High Concrete Product Quality
With the PipePlus machine you have variable feed rates and vibration settings specific to each product type to ensure a quality product no matter what is being made. In addition, the PipePlus pressheading system utilizes stay-in-place headers for smooth, dimensionally accurate spigots every time.
