We design and deliver robust composite infiltration irrigation pipe production lines that meet modern agricultural and municipal drainage needs. I work with our engineering team to tailor line layouts for PE-based and multi-layer composite pipes that balance durability, permeability control and cost efficiency. Our lines integrate precise extrusion, calibrated vacuum tank sizing, high-accuracy haul-off systems and cutting/stacking units so you consistently produce pipes with stable wall thickness, long service life and superior filtration performance. Farmers, landscape engineers and civil contractors rely on our equipment to reduce water loss, combat soil salinization and enable long-term irrigation solutions.
A composite infiltration irrigation pipe production line is an integrated extrusion system for manufacturing permeable or slotted pipes that infiltrate or drain water into soils. We combine single- or twin-screw extruders, specialized die heads, controlled cooling tanks and precision perforating units to create pipes that control flow rates and resist clogging. The production process emphasizes material selection (PE, PE-RT blends, or composite films), temperature-profile control and automated dimensional inspection so the final product fits installation and filtration specifications.
We support a range of applications from agricultural field drainage to urban stormwater management and work closely with customers to optimize line parameters for output, raw material savings and maintenance ease.

Product type: Mainly produces composite irrigation pipes with capillary permeation function, usually with a double-layer structure, consisting of a capillary permeation pipe and an outer sealing pipe. The sealing pipe is provided with through holes for directional seepage.
Forming process: It adopts the one-time extrusion forming technology. Through the extruder, two materials (such as PE, rubber composite materials, etc.) are extruded synchronously to form a composite structure. The process is simple and the cost is low.
Degree of automation: The entire production line is highly automated, supporting high-speed continuous production and is suitable for large-scale agricultural irrigation projects.
Scope of application: It is applicable to underground seepage irrigation and drip irrigation systems, especially suitable for water-saving agriculture in arid areas.
Raw material ratio: Composite materials are composed of waste rubber powder, thermoplastic polymer materials and special additives.
Extrusion molding: An inner permeable tube is formed through a plastic extruder.
Composite coating: The outer sealing tube is synchronously coated and holes are drilled at the set positions.
Cooling and setting: Rapid setting through the cooling water tank;
Traction cutting: Automatic traction and fixed-length cutting to form finished pipe materials.
Winding/Packaging: Automatic winding or fixed-length packaging, facilitating transportation and construction.
This production line not only enhances irrigation efficiency but also effectively reduces water evaporation and seepage, making it an important device for achieving precision agriculture and water-saving irrigation.
