Pipelife Poland powers up for larger diameter fittings
Market demand for sewer products in Poland is such that Pipelife Polska recently took delivery of what amounts to the largest injection moulding machine within the Group.
While producing its fittings, this giant machine (4,240 x 15,332 x 8,000mm) packs a clamping force of 2,000 tons (20,000kN) and weighs 136 tons! Michal Mierzejewski, Marketing manager of the firm is delighted with the new production asset. “It means we can make large diameter fittings for OD 630 and even ID 600 – 800 mm.
Throughout Poland, our city and rural sewer networks are being steadily renovated or replaced. With this added capacity, our supply chain will be all the more efficient and cost effective.”….more: Kwd-globalpipe, 2008-11-25, No. 300
