What Visitors Can See in the Video

Complete Straw Pipe Production Process

The video gives viewers a clear view of the complete straw pipe extrusion process, from plasticizing and extrusion to cooling, calibration, haul-off, cutting, chamfering and slitting. It helps potential buyers understand how each section works together in a continuous production line.

Precision Single-Screw Extrusion

The QX-SJ50/28 single-screw extruder is the core machine of the line. With a 22 kW Inovance permanent magnet synchronous motor, touchscreen operation and advanced temperature control, it supports stable extrusion for small-diameter straw pipes.

Vacuum Cooling and Calibration

The QX-SC4500 vacuum cooling calibration water trough helps control pipe size and shape after extrusion. Its stainless steel structure, water flow control, vacuum control and drying system contribute to consistent product quality.

Servo Haul-Off and Cutting

The QY-CM1200 haul-off and cutting unit uses polyurethane belts and Inovance servo motors for stable pulling and accurate cutting. Independent haul-off speed control helps match the extrusion speed and maintain dimensional consistency.

Flexible Post-Processing

The manual chamfering machine and manual slitting machine provide additional processing options for straw pipe ends and special product structures. These machines help expand the production line’s application range.
