Single Wall Corrugator and Double Wall Corrugator: Understanding the Features
Corrugators are essential machines in the production of corrugated pipes, which are widely used in various applications. These machines transform extruded plastic into corrugated pipes with improved strength and flexibility. However, choosing the right corrugator type depends on the desired pipe properties and application. Here’s a detailed description of single wall and double wall corrugators:
Single Wall Corrugator:
This type produces a single layer. Mainly used in open area like Electrical Flexible Conduit pipes and drainage pipes like Washing Machines Inlet/Outlet pipes and Wash Basin Outlet pipes. It’s a simpler and more affordable option compared to conventional material. A single-walled pipe is lightweight and flexible, allowing for speedier installation with less equipment and people. Apart from its advantages such inexpensive, flexible, and simple to install, it can be made in Roll form to prevent frequent joints like in case of Rigid Pipes.
Double Wall Corrugator:
This type produces two layers, offering significantly higher strength and rigidity to give cost effective alternatives. It’s ideal for applications in mainly underground trenches requiring superior crush resistance and insulation properties. Application include Solar Cables covering, Telecom Ducts & Sewerage / Drainage.
The usage of double-walled corrugated pipe is becoming more common. The companies that utilize such pipes are now more aware of how to save money by installing and utilizing the best items for their respective tasks. The corrugated design of the double wall provides tremendous strength in pressure resistance. The manufacture of double-wall duct pipe needs essentially no less raw materials, resulting in a significant reduction in environmental impact. Houses, clinics, workshops, and communities with drainage and sewerage demand favor this product. Not just this, for city drainage ditches and highway drainage system, it is prescribed in diameters varying from 4″ to 60″. Corrugated HDPE tube has replaced cement asbestos pipes and metal pipes because of its longevity and strong toughness and being less pollutants. Above all it is lightweight resulting in easy and quick installation.
Applications:
Single Wall Corrugator:
- Drainage pipes
- Irrigation pipes
Conduit pipes- Cable protection
- Automotive harness pipes
Double Wall Corrugator:
- Electrical Cable Ducts
- Sewerage pipes
- Drainage pipes (high-pressure or heavy-duty)
- Insulation pipes
- Saline Water Treatment Ducts
ITIB India and Corrugator Machines:
ITIB India specializes in the production of high-quality corrugator machines for both single and double wall applications. Their machines are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to meet the specific needs of their customers.
Electrical Conduit Pipes for Ducting:
Double wall corrugators are preferred for electrical conduit pipes for ducting due to their superior strength and crush resistance, ensuring optimal protection for the electrical cables inside. While single wall corrugators may be suitable for low-voltage applications, they might not provide sufficient protection for higher voltages.
Automotive Harness Pipes:
For automotive harness pipes, single wall corrugators offer the ideal balance of strength and flexibility. They protect the electrical wiring while remaining flexible enough for easy installation within the vehicle’s complex system.
By understanding the features of single wall and double wall corrugators, you can choose the right equipment for your specific needs. ITIB India’s wide range of corrugator machines ensure you have access to the best technology for producing high-quality corrugated pipes for various applications.
