How KraussMaffei supports PVC pipe production and circular economy goals

KraussMaffei has over 50 years of pipe extrusion experience and more than 7,500 installed extruders worldwide. Their systems cover pipe diameters from 5 mm to 2,000 mm across PVC and polyolefin materials and are engineered for the details that determine line value: consistent wall thickness, concentricity, stable melt quality, low scrap, fast size changeovers, and reliable output. 

Every component, from extruder and pipe head through to calibration and downstream equipment, is an integrated system, not just an assembly of parts. KraussMaffei’s advanced ‘PPC’ control platform manages multilayer configurations, records process data, and connects with ERP and MES environments, giving you the process visibility needed for traceable, repeatable production. 

PVC multilayer: Embracing the circular economy without compromising quality

KraussMaffei’s PVC multilayer lines provide the flexibility to use regrind in both the core and outer layers while maintaining the surface quality and material properties demanded by your specifications. It is a proven approach to incorporating more recycled materials per metre without cutting corners on performance. 

For pressure pipes, sewage systems, and drainage applications, this multilayer capability also provides a practical path to incorporating recycled PVC, relevant for manufacturers responding to circular economy requirements in Australian infrastructure supply chains. 

Reduce commissioning risk before your line arrives

KraussMaffei’s Technology Centre in Laatzen, Germany offers material test-runs and development projects on permanently available extrusion lines, with mono and multilayer heads for up to three PVC layers. This is where new material grades, recyclate strategies, and multilayer structures can be validated before your equipment is built, reducing risk and time to stable production once your line is commissioned. We can coordinate access to these capabilities as part of your project.
