PEXa Pipe Extrusion

Extrusion 360 is proud to collaborate with INTELLIGENT EXTRUSION SYSTEMS to deliver advanced PEXa pipe extrusion solutions for manufacturers seeking high performance, process stability, and high-speed production.

About IES

INTELLIGENT EXTRUSION SYSTEMS focuses exclusively on high-performance machinery for PEXa pipe production. Their extrusion lines are designed to ensure precise process control, reliable operation, and consistent high output for producers who value quality and long-term efficiency.

IES technology enables the production of PEXa pipes up to Ø140 mm with a stable output of 450 kg/h, setting a strong benchmark in the market. Solutions are available for PEXa pipe extrusion from Ø12 mm up to Ø140 mm, providing flexibility across a wide range of applications.

As part of this collaboration, manufacturers can reach Extrusion 360 and IES for technical consultancy services, quotation inquiries, and on-site demo opportunities.

PEX-a Pipe Production

PEXa pipe is produced exclusively using the peroxide (Engel) method, where cross-linking occurs during extrusion while the polyethylene is in a fully molten state. In modern PEXa lines, this process is supported by infrared (IR) ovens that deliver rapid and uniform heat directly to the pipe wall, activating the peroxide efficiently and consistently. This in-line hot cross-linking creates carbon-to-carbon bonds throughout the polymer matrix, resulting in the highest and most uniform degree of cross-linking among all PEX types, commonly exceeding 70 percent and often reaching 80 percent or more. The use of IR ovens allows precise temperature control and continuous operation, enabling stable high-speed production without sacrificing cross-linking quality. The final pipe exhibits exceptional flexibility, tight bending capability, and strong thermal memory.

Pex-a Pipe Production Range

Together with IES, we deliver a next-generation PEXa solution built for scale and quality. IES latest technology enables the production of PEXa pipes up to Ø140 mm with a stable output of 450 kg/h, a capability that stands out in today’s market and is engineered to meet the highest quality standards.

We provide three dedicated PEXa extrusion lines:
• Ø12 to Ø40 mm
• Ø16 to Ø75 mm
• Ø90 to Ø140 mm

For companies that want to see proven performance, we operate a complete, fully running PEXa extrusion line at IES facility in Granada, Spain. Customers can attend live demonstrations to evaluate the technology under real production conditions.
If you are interested in technical specifications, pricing, or arranging a private demonstration, we are ready to support you.
