How Integrated Pre-Welded Outlet Lines Revolutionize Pipe Manufacturing?

Introduction

Agricultural pipe manufacturing has long been challenged by inefficiencies, leakage issues, and high labor costs. Qingdao Xindacheng Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. has introduced a transformative solution: the integrated pre-welded outlet flexible pipe production line. By combining unwinding, punching, welding, and winding into a seamless automated process, this technology addresses critical industry pain points while enhancing durability and efficiency—particularly for drip irrigation systems.

Key Advantages of Integrated Pre-Welded Outlet Lines

1. All-in-One Modular Design: Uninterrupted Workflow

Traditional agricultural pipe production involves multiple disjointed machines, leading to misalignment, material waste, and frequent downtime. The integrated pre-welded outlet line consolidates all processes into a compact system (20m × 2m × 2.5m), ensuring a continuous workflow.

• A 0.75Kw servo motor-driven tension control and automatic deviation correction system maintains consistent material feed.

• By linking unwinding, punching, welding, and winding into a single automated sequence, the system reduces downtime by up to 30%, enabling higher production volumes without compromising quality.

2. Patented Dual-Fixation Technology: Leak-Proof Reliability

Leakage is a major concern in irrigation systems, often resulting from weak single-welded connections. The integrated line employs welding + bolted dual fixation to create a robust, pressure-resistant seal.

• This dual-layer structure withstands working pressures up to 0.6MPa—2–3 times higher than conventional PE hoses.

• Farmers benefit from 25% higher irrigation efficiency and reduced water waste, minimizing mid-season repairs.

3. Full Automation: Reduced Labor and Enhanced Precision

Manual processes in traditional manufacturing often lead to errors and slow production. The integrated line automates key operations:

• A vibration disc automatic feeding system ensures accurate connector placement.

• An ultrasonic welding machine and servo-driven traction device enable precise welding and punching, with hole spacing adjustable from 100–1500mm.

• A PLC control system with intuitive HMI allows operators to monitor and adjust the entire production process easily.

• Production speeds reach 4–12m/min, significantly outperforming manual lines (2–3m/min).

4. Universal Compatibility and Easy Maintenance

The integrated pre-welded hoses feature internationally standardized threaded interfaces, making them compatible with most existing irrigation systems. This reduces installation costs by 40%, as farmers can connect the pipes without replacing valves or pumps.

• Damaged connectors can be replaced quickly without disassembling the entire pipe.

• A built-in hose storage device ensures uninterrupted material supply, further minimizing downtime.

Optimized for Agriculture: White-Black Pre-Welded Hoses

The outer-white-inner-black hose design is tailored to address specific agricultural challenges:

1. Reflective Outer Layer: Prevents Seedling Scalding

Traditional dark pipes absorb heat, raising water temperatures and risking damage to young plants. The white outer layer reflects sunlight, keeping water cool and protecting crops.

2. Light-Blocking Inner Layer: Inhibits Algae Growth

Algae growth clogs irrigation outlets and disrupts water flow. The black inner layer blocks light entirely, preventing algae formation and ensuring consistent water delivery.

Integrated pre-welded outlet lines represent a significant leap forward in agricultural pipe production. By offering seamless automation, leak-proof durability, and agricultural-specific design, this technology meets the growing demand for efficient and sustainable irrigation solutions.

For manufacturers, these lines mean higher productivity, lower labor costs, and fewer defects. For farmers, they provide reliable, easy-to-install drip irrigation systems that save water, reduce maintenance, and support higher crop yields.

As agriculture continues to evolve, integrated pre-welded technology is poised to become the new standard in pipe manufacturing.
