Automatic Pipe Belling Machine Project

Country: United Arab Emirates
Client Type: Local PVC Pipe Manufacturer
Product Delivered: SGK-250 Automatic Pipe Belling Machine
Application: PVC Pressure Pipe and Drainage Pipe Production

Background

A medium-sized PVC pipe manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates planned to upgrade its pipe socket forming process to match the increasing demand for construction and infrastructure projects in the region. Their previous equipment required frequent manual adjustments and could not maintain consistent belling quality, limiting daily production capacity.

Customer Requirements

• Fully automatic belling system to reduce manual labor

• High accuracy for U-type and R-type sockets

• Stable performance for 110–250 mm PVC pipes

• Fast heating and efficient cooling to improve cycle time

• PLC control system with user-friendly operation

Solution Provided

We supplied the customer with the SGK-250 Fully Automatic Pipe Belling Machine, equipped with:

• Automatic feeding, heating, forming, and cooling

• Dual-station forming system to increase output

• Infrared heating units for precise temperature control

• Air cooling and water cooling combination system

• PLC touch-screen control with multilingual interface

Our engineering team supported the client with remote installation guidance and full training for machine operation and maintenance.

Results & Performance

• Production Capacity: Increased by approximately 35% after upgrading

• Socket Accuracy: Significant improvement in dimensional consistency

• Labor Savings: Reduced from 3 operators to 1 operator per shift

• Stability: Machine runs continuously in high-temperature climate without performance issues

Customer Feedback

The customer reported improved efficiency and smoother production flow. The automatic operation reduced human error and ensured consistent belling quality across all pipe sizes. The factory expressed interest in upgrading their larger-diameter line in the next procurement phase.

Project Status

The belling machine has been in operation for over 10 months with stable performance and no major downtime. The customer continues to use the machine in daily production for domestic and export PVC pipe supply.
