Ridgeway works in partnership with Extrusion Equipment Manufacturers and can offer complete project management direct to the customer:
Dedicated turnkey systems for 3/5 layer co-extruded barrier pipe such as PEX, PB, HMWPE.
Complete fuel line systems 2/3/4/5 layer dedicated and optimised to specific structures.
We can supply the complete line:
· Extruders, calibration, cooling system, haul off, cutting device coiler….
· The Ridgeway die-head
· The ancillary equipment (dryer, hopper loader, drying hopper..)
· The measuring system (laser O/D and ultrasonic wall thickness measuring systems)
Ridgeway recommends each part of the line according to the customer requirements to reach the highest performance and highest product quality.
DEVELOPMENT FACILITIES
Our design/ development activities are supported by in-house CAD/CAM as well as solid modelling facilities.
The Ridgeway Technology team works closely together with materials suppliers, some of whom have the Ridgeway Diehead Technology installed in their R&D centres, to develop their novel materials.
Ridgeway offers a consultancy service assisting customers with their new product development in providing innovative solutions.
