Unique concrete pipe testing line by PRINZING PFEIFFER

Quality assurance is particularly important in concrete pipe production. For testing and documentation of the concrete pipe quality, Prinzing Pfeiffer offers a pipe testing line whose test stations can be freely configured. This means that individual customer requirements can always be considered during the conceptual design phase.
The pipe testing line from Prinzing Pfeiffer consists of several stations. Beginning with the pipe alignment there is also a deburring station for grinding the inside and outside diameters of the bell end and spigot end. This can be optionally extended with an additional milling machine for an additional groove in the spigot end for a concrete pipe with a subsequently installed spigot gasket.
The automatic test for a possible pipe leaking will be carried out with a vacuum pipe testing device using the vacuum differential method. The pipe testing line can be extended by a length, roundness, and straightness measurement system. The final station is normally an integrated pipe marking device to mark pipes by a special DOD inkjet printer according to customer requirements. For example pipe standards, production data, pipe dimensions, the company name, or other information can be printed on the outside of the pipe.
A pipe deposit line with a movable pipe carriage ensures that the tested and marked pipes can be temporarily stored and finally picked up by a forklift truck.
