The use of Composite pipes in oil and gas, water treatment – especially for the treatment of seawater has been growing rapidly over the last decade. It is estimated that corrosion of metal piping itself costs approximately $20 billion each year. As composite pipes get ready to take a bigger role, Twin’s epoxy mixing in composites is used by the world’s leading players to manufacture composite pipes up to 1000 mm. in diameter.
Composite pipes demand very unique requirements
From high dispensing volumes ranging up to 500 Kg/shift, highly accurate mixing ratios to smart machine layout for high productivity and ease of maintenance. Twin’s machines, particularly, have enabled material savings (ranging in excess of 30%) for composite pipe manufacturers. As a partner to some of the world’s leading composite pipe manufacturers, Twin’s machines have enabled several new possibilities.
Deep process insights, like never before
With advanced data logging, Twin’s machines have enabled previously unavailable process insights for manufactures. Considering the high costs of materials, the production managers are now able to accurately track material costs and productivity per unit of the pipe. More importantly, the manufacturers are able to establish co-relations and often improve the mixing and dispensing efficiency by a multi-fold.
Complex processes and productivity goals achieved with modular and flexible layouts
Seamless integration of the mixing and dispensing machine into the production line layout has a lasting impact on product quality and profitability. With a modular and flexible machine design, Twin has offered smart customised layouts for dispensing. Often, this means an integrated system that takes automates transferring the materials to be mixed from bulk containers, carrying the mixed materials over long distances without affecting its flow and properties and ensuring efficiency in dispensing using advanced automation. Leveraging these and other innovations, Twin’s machines are redefining the productivity benchmarks in composite pipe manufacturing.
Instant support for global customers
Quick support is critical, especially in high volume production environments. With an innovative mobile App, Twin puts the power to seek support and provide feedback to the first point of contact – the Operator of the machine. The mobile App enables the Operator to instantly connect with Twin’s support team and track the progress of resolution of his/her query in run-time. The App takes away the geographical distance with the Twin’s team while ensuring no delay, whatsoever on the time to respond.
