Extrusion line for the production of shotgun shell

The biorientation technology allows increasing some performances of the thermoplastic material. Its use applied to the extrusion of HDPE pipes allows the production of thin wall pipes but with a very high resistance. Since 1974, AMUT has developed this technology that finds its main application in the production of cut-to-size small PIPES FOR CARTRIDGES. Because of their higher properties the thermoplastic pipes have fully replaced the traditional cardboard pipes that were used for the preparation of cartridges. The extrusion line offered by AMUT ensures the achievement of the best quality parameters with very low tolerances and has the special advantage to obtain an IN-LINE cut-to-size pipe that means no need to handle again the pipe for the successive cut step.
This is possible thanks to the "mechanical" biorientation technology, based on the use of a stretch-mandrel. This technology, as opposed to the one based on the use of inside pressure, ensures the easy operation of the extrusion line, the use of more materials, the achievement of high outputs and specially the cut-to-size directly in-line.
The technology of mechanical biorientation ensures very high tensile strength values (over 22 kg/mm2) and thanks to this property it is possible to produce small pipes for cartridges that can be "recharged" up to 15 times.
Another advantage offered by the line supplied by AMUT is the possibility to produce bioriented pipes of small diameter (11 mm) necessary for the smallest gauges (gauge 36 - .410), otherwise produced by means of rigid and expensive injection technologies.
The extrusion line is very easy to operate and also very flexible. The change of product can be made in one hour only.
The performances of the extrusion line supplied by AMUT are:
extrusion speed = 14 m/m' for G12, G16 and G20, 9 m/m' for G.410
number of pieces per minute = 200 / 250 (depending from the length)
tensile strength ≥ 22 kg/mm²
tolerance on thickness = ± 0,03 mm (gauge 12)
tolerance on diameter = ± 0,08 mm (gauge 12)
tolerance on cut length = ± 0,2 mm

Very cool video! I was watching this to better understand my classes through SDI
