Corelco

CHINAPLAS welcomes Corelco, a specialist in innovative extrusion lines

科雷爾高公司（Corelco）參展CHINAPLAS 2011

As an extrusion line specialist, Corelco of France is confident in its ability to meet any technical challenge. Its innovative ideas have made it a gold standard in the field across a variety of sectors, including the automotive, electrical and medical industries, civil engineering and the protection of buried infrastructure (gas, water and telecommunications). Participating in CHINAPLAS (Guangzhou - 17 to 20 May 2011) is an opportunity for Corelco to present its expertise in manufacturing extrusion lines for corrugated tubes and netting. Come explore the company's innovative technology and services at the France pavilion!

Sweeping changes in the methods used by the automotive industry to transport fluids, fuel, oil, air and water have led Corelco to reconsider extrusion. Specific lines were developed for the sector based on the following four key features. Variable speed, which means modulable molding speeds that can speed up or slow down depending on the profile of the pipe being produced. Variable length, based on the length of the parts being produced; the process must accept any pipe production series required by automobile manufacturers. Vacuum technology results in optimum product quality without restricting the options for profiles or materials. And finally, a cutting system with two modes of operation: one with pre-determined lengths and one that bases the length on the specific profile it detects. Profile detection is ideal for cutting technical couplings, offering an average precision of between 0.2 and 0.5 mm.

Corelco is able to adapt along with the market for electrical conduits, offering innovative, reliable solutions that meet the productivity criteria of its clients. Already a forerunner in pre-wired extrusion lines as early as 1993, Corelco has now attained production speeds on the order of 39 meters per minute. Rather than inserting the electrical wires after extruding the sheath, the Corelco process consists of extruding the corrugated pipe around the wires, resulting in a finished, ready-to-use product. In compliance with European standards, the flame retardant pre-wired pipes are produced at high speed. The process accepts any type of wire, whether rigid or flexible.

Double-wall extrusion lines are designed for manufacturers in the civil engineering sector and used to protect buried electrical, drinking water, gas and telecommunications infrastructures. These double-wall corrugated pipes are characterized by a smooth inner wall and a corrugated outer wall, both made of a polyethylene base. Two types of products are available: 25- to 100-meter coils or 6-meter bars. The 3 types of extrusion lines developed by Corelco cover a diameter range of between 40 and 250 mm.

The RICAL® extrusion process has enabled the development of a full line of netting. Depending on the type of product requested, these lines include an extrusion and cooling unit, a mono-orientation unit (MDO) and a bi orientation unit (TDO), and a winder with an automatic cutter. The variety of

netting that can be produced covers a broad range of applications for both the industrial and domestic markets.
