PPR Pipe Extrusion Machine
High-speed single screw PPR pipe extrusion line for hot/cold water pipes (20–160mm) — also handles PE, HDPE, PP up to 250mm
Custom-configured PPR pipe extrusion machine — also known as a PPR pipe making machine — designed for consistent wall thickness, dimensional accuracy to DIN 8077/ISO 15874, and reliable output across hot water, cold water, underfloor heating, and industrial chemical transport applications.
This PPR pipe extrusion line supports single-layer and 3-layer PPR-GF-PPR fiberglass reinforced configurations. The same extruder platform also functions as a plastic pipe extrusion line for PE, HDPE and PP pipes — with a die and calibration sleeve change plus parameter retuning, not a new machine.
What Is a PPR Pipe Making Machine?
A PPR pipe extrusion machine is a single-screw extrusion line that melts polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) granules and forms them into continuous pipes for hot and cold water distribution, underfloor radiant heating, chilled water systems, and industrial chemical transport. These pipes are typically manufactured to DIN 8077/8078 or ISO 15874 standards.

Applications — Where These Dip Tubes Go
Hot & Cold Water Plumbing
PPR is the dominant choice for residential and commercial water distribution in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Heat-fused joints eliminate leak points, and the material resists chlorine degradation and scale buildup.
Underfloor Radiant Heating
Underfloor systems demand dimensional stability under sustained temperature cycling. 3-layer PPR-GF-PPR fiberglass reinforced pipes are increasingly specified here for their lower thermal expansion coefficient.
Chilled Water & HVAC Systems
Commercial HVAC chilled water loops use PPR for corrosion resistance and smooth inner surfaces that minimize pressure loss. Larger diameters (75–160mm) are common in this segment.
Industrial Chemical Transport
PP and PPR pipes serve chemical transport where metallic pipes would corrode. Material grade selection depends on the specific chemicals — we evaluate compatibility during the configuration phase.

PPR Pipe Extrusion Machine — Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this PPR pipe extrusion machine process?
PP-R is the primary material. The same single screw extruder also processes PE, PP, and HDPE without changing the screw — only the die and calibration sleeve need to be swapped. 3-layer PPR-GF-PPR requires an auxiliary co-extruder and multi-layer die, available as add-on modules. This is why buyers searching for a PPR HDPE pipe extrusion machine often land on this platform — one extruder serves both resin families.
What pipe sizes and wall thickness tolerances can the line produce?
20–160mm OD for PPR, covering PN 10 through PN 20 per DIN 8077/8078. For 20–75mm, a dual-strand configuration runs two pipes simultaneously — roughly doubling output, such as 250 kg/h vs 120 kg/h, without doubling floor space. Larger pipes, 75–160mm and above, run single-strand. Weight-per-meter control is integrated to prevent material over-use while maintaining target wall thickness.
Can this line produce multi-layer PPR-GF fiberglass reinforced pipes?
Yes. We add an auxiliary co-extruder and multi-layer die head to the base configuration — downstream equipment stays the same. PPR-GF-PPR’s fiberglass middle layer significantly reduces thermal expansion, making it preferred for underfloor heating and hot water recirculation. We configure the co-extruder specifically for the fiberglass-PP compound you plan to use.
How much does a PPR pipe extrusion machine cost?
Approximate FOB China pricing for complete turnkey lines:
- Single-layer, single-strand, 20–75mm: $35,000 – $45,000
- Dual-strand high-volume, 20–75mm x2: $50,000 – $70,000
- Single-layer larger diameter, 50–160mm: $35,000 – $55,000
- 3-layer PPR-GF-PPR fiberglass, 20–160mm: $55,000 – $80,000
Includes: extruder, die, calibration, cooling, haul-off, cutter, stacker, and Tier-1 electrics. Excludes: chiller, printer, freight, and on-site installation.
Do we need to hire engineers for installation, or can our team handle it independently?
Both options are available:
- Independent setup: Modular design with aviation connectors, verified preset parameters, test videos, and full documentation.
- On-site support: Installation, commissioning, and operator training, with costs itemized in the quotation and no hidden fees.
What spare parts should we keep in stock?
Every Jinxin pipe production line ships with a starter kit: heater bands x2, die head heater sets x2, solid-state relays x5, cooling fan x1, and thermocouples x2. This covers 12–18 months of normal operation. All core components, including Siemens, ABB, Delta, Fotek, and WECON, are global brands, so long-term replacements can be sourced locally instead of only from China.
What is the lead time, warranty, and packing for ocean freight?
- Lead time: 45–60 working days from deposit, including fabrication, assembly, and full-load production trial with documented startup parameters.
- Warranty: 12 months full-line; HMI extended to 18 months. Tier-1 components carry their own manufacturer warranties.
- Packing: Fumigation-free wooden crates, anti-rust and moisture-proof protection. The cooling tank ships separately on a steel pallet.
What is the difference between PPR and PVC pipes and their extrusion machines?
PPR is heat-fused at joints, handles hot water up to 70°C continuous, and is extruded on a single screw machine. PVC is solvent-cemented, limited to cold water or drainage applications, and requires a twin screw extruder for powder processing.
The downstream equipment also differs. PPR needs longer cooling tanks and tighter calibration tolerances for pressure ratings. These are fundamentally different machines: a PPR line cannot process PVC, and a PVC line cannot produce pressure-rated PPR pipe.
How is a PPR pipe extrusion machine different from a general plastic pipe extrusion line?
A PPR pipe machine is a single screw line configured for PP-R melt behavior and DIN 8077/ISO 15874 dimensional standards.
Key differences versus a general-purpose line include a PPR-specific compression ratio, 33:1 L/D, spiral die heads for uniform wall thickness under pressure ratings, and controlled cooling for PPR’s crystallization behavior. A PVC drainage line uses a completely different screw type and cannot produce pressure-rated PPR pipe.
