Plastic Pipe Extrusion Machine: Complete Guide to PVC, HDPE & PPR
Plastic pipe extrusion machines are among the highest-volume categories of plastic processing equipment. Whether you need PVC water supply pipes, HDPE gas lines, PPR hot-water plumbing, or double-wall corrugated drainage conduit — this guide covers every major pipe type and technical specifications.
Overview: The Global Plastic Pipe Market
Global thermoplastic pipe production exceeds 40 million tonnes annually, with PVC, HDPE, and PPR accounting for the vast majority, driven by urbanisation, water infrastructure replacement, and gas network expansion.
Qingdao Precision Machine supplies pipe extrusion lines covering diameters from 16 mm to over 1,200 mm, in PVC, HDPE, LDPE, PPR, PEX, PP, and PA. Every line is CE certified.

PVC Pipe Machine: Technical Specifications
| Diameter (mm) | Extruder | Output (kg/h) | Standards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16–63 | SJSZ-51/105 | 80–120 | ISO 1452 / DIN 8061 |
| 50–200 | SJSZ-65/132 | 150–250 | ISO 1452 / ASTM D1785 |
| 160–400 | SJSZ-80/156 | 250–400 | ISO 4422 / GB/T 13664 |
| 315–630 | SJ-120 (single) | 350–600 | ISO 4422 / EN 12201 |

Twin vs Single for Pipe: For PVC pipe always use twin screw — PVC needs intensive mixing a single screw can't provide. For PE, PP, PPR pipe, a single screw with L/D 28:1–33:1 is standard.
