Measurement technology specialist SIKORA AG has delivered its CENTERWAVE 6000 inline measuring system to Suzhou Bechton Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd., supporting the development of a new production line for high-performance PVC-O pipes at the company’s newly inaugurated factory in Zhangjiagang, China.
With the new facility, Bechton is expanding its production capacity and strengthening its technological capabilities in PVC-O pipe production equipment. The manufacturing of these pressure-resistant and material-efficient pipes requires highly accurate and stable measurement systems to ensure continuous quality control during the extrusion process.
During the factory open day, Sikora demonstrated the capabilities of the CENTERWAVE 6000 in a live presentation. The event attracted industry visitors and technical experts who engaged in discussions about measurement accuracy, product stability, and the specific process requirements associated with large-diameter PVC-O pipe production.
By combining advanced extrusion technology with precise inline measurement, the system aims to ensure stable production processes and consistently high pipe quality.
