Corrugated pipe
Applications
UNICOR offers a wide range of corrugators for the production
of material saving corrugated pipes from 3 mm i.d. up to 2400
mm o.d. There are countless different applications for corrugated pipe on the world market:
technical applications:
flexible single wall, double wall and multi-layer
corrugated pipe for the protection of cables in automotive
and machine construction. Applications also in healthcare,
telecommunication and household.
diameters: from 3 mm i.d. to 130 mm o.d.
cable protection:
flexible single wall, double wall and multi-layer corrugated
pipe for cable protection, inhouse building, road construc tion and long-distance circuits.
diameters: from 10 mm i.d. to 250 mm o.d.
drainage:
single, double or triple wall pipe for civil engineering, land
and road drainage.
diameters: from 50 mm o.d. to 1200 mm o.d.

Corrugated pipe
Advantages
Due to the low weight, the production speed of
corrugated pipes is clearly higher compared to
smooth pipe (subject to same ring stiffness).
Material saving
Easy handling
Resistance to corrosion
Pipes made of HDPE, PP or PVC offer a higher resistance to aggressive substances (i.e. waste water) compared to traditional pipe systems.
High-quality corrugated plastic pipes resist a deflection of up to 30%.
High flexibility
Corrugated pipes have a much higher ring stiffness than smooth pipes of the same weight.
The smooth surface of the inner layer of double
wall corrugated pipes guarantees an excellent
water flow.

Corrugated pipe
Production technologies
UNICOR offers different technologies for the production of
corrugated pipes:
Cooling
The forming channel and the return channel are evenly cooled
with cooling water. The cooled walls absorb the heat energy
from the mould blocks. This cooling system is highly efficient
and results in a high production speed.

Corrugated pipe
Production technologies
Mould blocks
The corrugated pipe is formed inside the corrugator. During the
extrusion process the plasticized material is blown into the
forming channel. The forming of the pipe can be supported
and optimized by using vacuum in the mould blocks. Water
cooled mould blocks guarantee high outputs and excellent pipe
quality.

Connection techniques
There are various kinds of connection techniques. The most common ones are:
The injected permanent cuff is produced in an extrusion injection process
directly to the pipe.

Small-sized corrugators
High speed production of small pipes
Technical pipes for manifold applications are produced on the
different versions of the corrugator UC 15 with speeds up to
40 m/min. With the variable chain length the optimal adaption
of the corrugator to the product length is possible. This means
saving raw material by avoiding waste.

Large-sized corrugators
UC 1800
This new and innovative corrugator UC 1800 is designed for
the production of drainage, storm water and sewer pipes. This
corrugator uses a gripper system for the mould block transport
in the return channels. The extruders are placed on a movable
platform.
Like all other UNICOR shuttle corrugators, this model has a high
robustness and long life time.

Large-sized corrugators
UC 2400
With an impressive pipe diameter of up to 2400 mm o.d. the
UC 2400 is the largest UNICOR corrugator.
The applications of these pipes are drainage, sewage and storm
water as well as rain water retaining systems. Due to the worldwide changing weather conditions such systems are more and
more installed in regions with very high rainfalls and in regions
with long dry seasons followed by high rainfalls.
