In December 2007, Cincinnati Extrusion GmbH, Vienna, Austria delivered its 7,000th conical extruder, a Konos 63, to Pipelife Austria GmbH & Co. KG in Wiener Neudorf near Vienna. The extruder is being used there to manufacture PVC corrugated pipes. The Pipelife group, headquartered in Vienna, is known as one of the leading plastic hose system manufacturers with a workforce of 2,800 employees at 31 production facilities and with 781 million EUR in annual sales.

Conical extruders manufacturers from Cincinnati Extrusion are operating worldwide in the produc-tion of pipes, profiles and wood-plastic composite products. They are suitable as both main extruders and coextruders and can make virtually any product from small technical profiles, such as glass strips, foamed baseboards and cable conduits, up to multi-layer pipes and corrugated pipes.

The Konos 63 delivered on this occasion belongs to the latest generation of conical twin-screw extruders. Cincinnati Extrusion, an extruder specialist with more than 40 years of experience, continuously adjusts its extruder models to the changing de-mands of the market. Konos extruders are genuine all-rounder featuring an excellent dwell time and surface quality record for a wide range of applications.
