The production process of PE woven agricultural water belt involves multiple steps, including processes such as raw material preparation, extrusion, weaving, coating and inspection. The following are the production process steps of a typical PE woven agricultural water belt:
1. Raw material preparation:
First, polyethylene (PE) pellets are prepared, which is the main raw material for making hoses.
Colors and additives can be added if required to meet product specific requirements. For example, additives can improve UV resistance or increase the flexibility of the material.
2. Extrusion:
The prepared PE pellets are fed into the extruder, where the pellets are heated and melted in the extruder.
The molten PE is extruded through the extrusion head of the extruder to form a tubular primary PE pipe.
During extrusion, the tubular material cools and solidifies to form a single, strong PE pipe.
3. Weaving:
After extrusion, PE pipe is usually stretched to enhance the strength and flexibility of its material.
The production of the outer braiding layer is a key step in the production of PE braided agricultural water belts. Typically, a high-strength polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET) fiber braid is mechanically sleeved over the outer surface of the PE pipe.
The braid provides additional pressure and abrasion resistance to protect the PE pipe.
4. Coating (optional):
Sometimes, a coating may be added during the manufacturing process to increase the UV resistance of PE woven agricultural hose or to improve its appearance.
A coating is usually a special protective material that is applied over the weave.
5. Cooling and cutting:
The produced PE woven agricultural hose is cooled through a cooling system to ensure it maintains its shape and performance.
Once cooled, the hose is cut to the desired length, ready to be packed and delivered.
6. Inspection and quality control:
Finally, each piece of PE woven agricultural water hose is subject to strict inspection and quality control to ensure that the product meets the standards and specifications.
Inspection may include visual inspection, pressure test, abrasion resistance test and other necessary tests.
7. Packaging and Shipping:
By packing and marking, the PE woven agricultural water belt is ready for sale and transportation.
Products can be packaged in rolls or reels for easy storage and use by users.
