Technology Comparison: Which to Choose?

Make an informed decision based on your material, budget, and post-tensioning project requirements.

🌀 Spiral Forming Line

The Accessible Workhorse: The spiral system features a simple equipment structure, easy maintenance, and user-friendly operation. Its biggest advantage is cost-efficiency: a single machine can be equipped with various diameter molds at an extremely low cost.

It is capable of producing flat pipes through an additional heating and pressing process.

⚠️ Technical Limitation: When producing flat ducts via pressing, it is only suitable for specific materials. Many HDPE materials exhibit a "memory effect" and will gradually rebound into an oval shape over time, failing strict engineering inspections.

🧱 Mould Block Line

The High-End Standard: Representing a higher initial investment and requiring more complex operational procedures, the mould block system directly shapes the plastic PT duct profile inside precision molds.

The Market Favorite for Flat Ducts: Despite the higher cost, it remains highly welcomed by the high-end market. The flat pipes produced boast absolute dimensional stability with zero rebound risk. Furthermore, under the exact same ring stiffness requirements, the corrugated pipes are significantly lighter, saving massive raw material costs in the long run.
