HDPE/PE pipe extrusion line for 16-1200 mm water, gas, irrigation and sewer pipe, available in single-layer and ABA/ABC multilayer configurations.
Overview
HDPE/PE Pipe Extrusion Line
HDPE/PE Pipe Extrusion Line is a complete smooth pipe production system for municipal water supply pipe, gas pipe, irrigation pipe, sewer pipe and general cable protection pipe.
The same production platform can be configured for conventional single-layer pipe or ABA/ABC multilayer co-extrusion. A multilayer line adds a co-extrusion single screw extruder and a multilayer die head while sharing the calibration, cooling, haul-off, cutting and collection equipment.
For cost-sensitive ABA pipe production, recycled PE can be used in the middle structural layer while virgin PE is applied to the inner and outer surfaces. This reduces raw material cost while maintaining a smooth, bright pipe surface and controlled layer distribution.

Production Configurations
Single-Layer and Multilayer HDPE Pipe on One Platform
ABA / ABC Multilayer HDPE Pipe Line
The line adds a co-extrusion single screw extruder and multilayer die head. Recycled PE can form the middle structural layer while virgin PE covers the inner and outer surfaces for lower cost and a smooth, bright finish.
Components
Main Equipment and Process
Core units are configured according to pipe material, diameter, layer structure, output target and downstream collection method.
Vacuum Loader + Drying Hopper
PE pellets are automatically conveyed to the drying hopper before extrusion, keeping material feeding stable and reducing moisture-related surface defects.
Single Screw Extruder
The main single screw extruder uses a high-speed, high-efficiency screw design to improve output, reduce energy consumption and strengthen HDPE/PE plasticizing performance.
Co-Extrusion Single Screw Extruder
For ABA or ABC multilayer pipe, the additional single screw extruder supplies virgin PE to the inner and outer skin layers while the main extruder can process the recycled PE middle layer for lower material cost.
Color Marking Extruder
A small co-extruder adds blue, yellow or project-specific marking stripes for water, gas, irrigation, cable duct or telecom pipe identification.
Single-Layer / Multilayer Die Head and Mould
The forged die head uses spiral flow channels for uniform melt distribution. Single-layer and ABA/ABC multilayer structures are configured with different internal flow channel systems.
Vacuum Calibration Tank
The vacuum calibration tank is made with 304 stainless steel for long service life, rust-resistant operation, pipe roundness control and accurate outer diameter sizing.
Spray Cooling Tank
The spray cooling tank uses 304 stainless steel construction and controlled water circulation to provide durable, rust-resistant cooling and stable pipe surface quality.
Laser Printer
The online laser printer marks pipe specification, standard, batch information, production date and customer-required identification clearly on the pipe surface.
Pipe Haul-off Machine
The haul-off machine synchronizes traction speed with extrusion output to maintain wall thickness and steady pipe movement.
Pipe Cutting Machine
The cutting unit adopts rotary chipless cutting with PLC control, providing smooth pipe end faces, stable tracking and fixed-length cutting before stacking or downstream handling.
Pipe Stacker
The pipe stacker receives fixed-length pipe after cutting and transfers pipe smoothly for manual or semi-automatic collection.
Pipe Coiler / Winder
Small-diameter PE pipe, irrigation pipe and cable protection pipe can be collected by customized coiler or winder models selected by pipe diameter and production speed.

FAQ
What pipes can this HDPE/PE pipe extrusion line produce?
It can be configured for HDPE water pipe, gas pipe, PE irrigation pipe, HDPE sewer pipe, cable protection pipe and single-layer or multilayer smooth PE pipe production.
What is the typical diameter range of the HDPE pipe machine?
The typical pipe range is 16mm to 1200mm OD. The exact model depends on pipe diameter, wall thickness, pressure class, material grade and required output.
What equipment is included in a complete PE pipe production line?
A complete line can include vacuum loader, drying hopper, single screw extruder, color marking extruder, pipe extrusion die head and mould, vacuum calibration tank, spray cooling tank, laser printer, haul-off machine, cutting machine, pipe stacker and coiler or winder.
How do I choose between pipe stacker and pipe coiler?
Small-diameter PE pipe, irrigation pipe and cable protection pipe are often collected by coiler or winder. Medium and large-diameter HDPE pipe is normally cut to fixed length and transferred by pipe stacker.
What is the difference between single-layer and multilayer HDPE pipe extrusion lines?
The downstream calibration, cooling, haul-off and cutting equipment can be shared. A multilayer line adds one or more co-extrusion single screw extruders and a multilayer die head. ABA production commonly uses recycled PE in the middle layer and virgin PE on both surfaces to reduce material cost.
What affects HDPE pipe machine price?
Main price factors include pipe diameter range, output capacity, extruder size, die head design, cooling length, haul-off structure, cutter type, coiler or stacker selection, laser printer, chiller, voltage and automation level.
