2. Technology and Automation Levels The level of automation integrated into the machine also plays a crucial role in determining the price. Advanced machines with automated features such as computerized controls, auto-feeders, and real-time monitoring tend to be more expensive. While the upfront cost might be higher, such features can lead to increased productivity and reduced labor costs over time.
The operation of a flexible pipe making machine typically involves several key processes, including material feeding, heating, extrusion, cooling, and finishing. Initially, raw materials such as resin pellets or granules are fed into a hopper, where they are gradually melted through controlled heating.
