External Coating:
The external coating facility is equipped to carry out anticorrosive coating on Carbon Steel pipes e.g. 3LPE, 3LPP, FBE, DFBE, etc. and is located in the same vicinity. It is one of the few facilities in India to have a fully automated plant.
Coating aims at enhancing the durability & corrosion resistance of the pipes. MEIL’s coating production ranges from 18” to 100” pipe diameter.
In case of 3LPE coating the first layer is of fusion bonded epoxy followed by a layer of Co polymer adhesive and topped by a polyethylene layer. The raw materials used in the process are procured from repute suppliers to guarantee quality of final product in accordance to required specifications.
Internal Coating:
Automatic airless spray paint system by VR Coating, Pune, is a two component painting system giving a uniform paint thickness on the inside of the pipe.
Apart from above external and internal types of coating, pipes are also coated with concrete, both inside and outside which is called in lining and Uniting with special equipment as per the requirements.
High density polyethylene (HDPE) & Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Pipes:
Plastic extrusion of pipe is a steady-state process for converting a thermoplastic raw material to a finished or near-finished annular product. The raw material is usually in the form of plastic granules. The conversion takes place by forming a homogeneous molten mass in the extruder and forcing it under pressure through an extrusion die orifice that defines the shape of the product's cross section.
The formed material, is cooled and drawn away from the die exit at a controlled rate. It can then be coiled or cut to a specified length. This steady-state characteristic produces some unique benefits and challenges as a manufacturing process. Extruded products are very long and continuous, and have a cross section that is usually constant with respect to the axis.
All plants are run 24x7 and many Mobile Hydra cranes to handle pipes and structures.
