China’s plastic pipe industry has already established a solid foundation, and demand in the plastic pipe production‑line market is experiencing rapid, leap‑frog growth. Drawing on the experience of developed countries, the primary application area for plastic pipes—measured by weight—is drainage and sewage systems, particularly underground outdoor drainage and sewerage pipelines. In Europe, underground drainage accounts for 56.2% of total usage, whereas in China it stands at only 10%. This gap indicates that China’s underground pipe sector remains in its early stages, with substantial untapped market potential. Drainage infrastructure is an indispensable component of modern urban development, and China is currently poised to seize a historic opportunity presented by large‑scale national investments in building out drainage networks. At present, certain types of plastic underground drainage pipes…

China’s plastic pipe industry has already established a solid foundation, and demand in the plastic pipe‑production‑line market is experiencing rapid, leap‑frog growth. Drawing on the experience of developed countries, the primary application area for plastic pipes—measured by weight—is drainage and sewage systems, particularly underground outdoor drainage and sewer lines. In Europe, underground drainage accounts for 56.2 percent of total usage, whereas in China it stands at only 10 percent. This gap underscores that China’s underground pipe sector remains in its infancy, with substantial untapped market potential. Drainage infrastructure is an indispensable component of modern urban development, and China now finds itself at a historic juncture, with nationwide investments underway to build extensive sewer networks. At present, some manufacturers of plastic underground drainage pipes are already facing supply shortages, making this segment a burgeoning investment hotspot.

In plastic pipe production lines, steel‑plastic spiral‑wound pipe manufacturing equipment—whose production technology matured in the early 1990s—is now widely employed across numerous sectors in developed countries. In the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and various European nations, steel‑plastic spiral‑wound pipes are used for large‑scale water conveyance in both industrial and agricultural applications, as well as for drainage, sewage disposal, and venting in a wide range of fields.

 

For automotive door and window components, cold‑bending is often the first and most critical process. After cold‑bending on a plastic pipe production line, several metal layers must also be seam‑welded at specific intervals. Consequently, the production line must incorporate in‑line seam‑welding equipment, tracking and cutting devices, and other auxiliary systems. For cold‑bending lines dedicated to automotive doors and windows, not only are there numerous forming passes, but precision requirements are exceptionally stringent. We have identified and proposed more than ten key indicators for monitoring and controlling mill‑alignment accuracy, with particular emphasis on managing axial runout of the rolling mill and ensuring the accuracy of the axial datum across all stands.
