What is the oxide layer in polyethylene pipes?
Polyethylene pipes begin to form a thin oxide layer on their surface from the moment they come into contact with air after production. This layer is not visible to the naked eye, but it changes the chemical structure of the material, preventing the weld from integrating with the pipe body. Merely sanding or using a hand scraper often leads to inconsistent cleaning and welding defects. REED PE The scrapers make a shaving all the way around the pipe at a constant depth, bringing the surface to completely “fresh” polyethylene.
REED PE Pipe's Technical Superiority
REED These devices, developed by engineering, offer mechanical precision instead of relying on operator dexterity. The adjustable body structure according to pipe diameter guarantees a peeling operation of equal depth even on uneven or ovalized pipes.
Why Choose REED PE Vacuum Cleaners?
- Fixed Peel Depth: It removes an equal amount of material from every point on the pipe surface.
- Quick and Easy Setup: Mounts onto the pipe in seconds.
- Spring-Loaded Knife System: Provides seamless cleaning by following the surface, even on oval pipes.
- Wide Diameter Range It offers solutions from small branch lines to main transmission lines with different models.
- Carbon Steel Knives With its durable blade construction, it reduces on-site costs.
The Key to Success in Electrofusion Welding
For a quality source, the surface not only needs to be clean, but also smooth and its circular form must be maintained. REED PE The clamps do not damage the pipe during scraping and ensure a perfect fit of the electrofusion coupling to the pipe. Habib Makina olarak sağladığımız bu teknoloji, İSKİ ve doğalgaz dağıtım şirketlerinin şartnamelerinde belirtilen “profesyonel kazıma” kriterini %100 karşılamaktadır.
Time and Labor Savings
The cleaning process, which used to take minutes and was tiring with manual scraping, REED As a result, it is completed in seconds with its technology. This speed significantly advances the construction schedule, especially in large projects with hundreds of connections. With our 15 years of distributorship experience, we know that:; REED PE In projects using excavators, costs for “re-excavation” due to resource errors are reduced to zero.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why should I use a REED PE stripper instead of a hand rasp?
Scraping causes uneven depths and can leave oxide layers in some areas. REED PE A deburrer ensures an even and thorough cleaning of the entire surface, offering a warranty based on its source.
2. Does it work on oval/deformed pipes?
Yes, REED’The spring-loaded blade mechanism follows the pipe's contour, ensuring effective stripping even in oval areas.
3. What should I do when the knives become dull?
The blades are interchangeable. Habib Makina You can get original spare blades from stock immediately.
4. What are the available diameter ranges?
Suitable for housing needs from 20 mm to 800 mm and above swing diameters REED models are available.
