Manufacturing Process of Cristal Tucris Tubes
The manufacturing process of Cristal Tucris Tubes is an example of precision and quality control:
- Compound Mixing: We begin by mixing crystal PVC with plasticizers, stabilizers and other additives that provide flexibility, transparency and resistance to the final product. This mixture is made under controlled conditions to ensure homogeneity.
- Extrusion: The mixture is then heated and extruded through a die that defines the diameter and thickness of the tube. Extrusion is carried out at specific temperatures to ensure the malleability of the material without compromising its integrity.
- Cooling: After extrusion, the tubes go through a controlled cooling process, where they are gradually cooled to avoid deformation and guarantee dimensional stability.
- Cutting and Inspection: The tubes are cut to the desired size and undergo a rigorous visual and mechanical inspection to ensure that they meet the company's quality standards. Tucab, including pressure tests, transparency and diameter control.
- Packaging: Finally, the tubes are packaged in conditions that protect their integrity until they reach the customer.
Technical Details
- Available Diameters: They vary from 3mm to 50 mm, with the diameters 7mm, 8mm and 10mm are especially popular for use as levels in construction.
- Working Pressure: Can withstand pressures of up to 10 bar, depending on diameter and specific application.
- Operating Temperature: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C, with peaks possible up to +70°C for short periods.
- Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to many chemicals, including diluted acids, alkalis, oils and non-aggressive solvents.
- Standards and Certifications: Tucris Cristal Tubes are manufactured in accordance with international standards, such as ISO 9001, ensuring product consistency and quality.
Sustainability and Recyclability
One of the highlights of Cristal Tucris Tubes is their total recyclability. After the end of their useful life, these tubes can be:
- Recycled: Collected, processed and transformed into new products, closing the life cycle of the material and reducing waste.
- Incorporated into New Products: The recycled PVC from Cristal Tucris Tubes can be incorporated in the manufacture of new items, such as profiles, seals or even new tubes, promoting savings circular. This incorporation process not only reduces the need for virgin raw materials, but also significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with the production of new plastics.
Examples of Use of Cristal Tubes
Tucris Cristal Tubes have a wide range of practical applications:
- Central Vacuum Systems: Used to conduct air in systems centralized vacuum system in homes and commercial buildings, where transparency allows the verification of possible blockages or accumulation of debris.
- Laboratories: Used for the transport of non-corrosive liquids in laboratories, where transparency is crucial for observing chemical reactions or the purity of solutions.
- Civil Construction: As mentioned, they are widely used as levels to ensure the leveling of surfaces. For example, in masonry works, crystal tubes with a diameter of 7mm, 8mm or 10mm are filled with water, allowing workers to visually check whether the surface is level by observing the position of the air bubble inside the tube.
- Irrigation Systems: In agricultural applications, Tucris Crystal Tubes are used to distribute water in drip or sprinkler irrigation systems. The transparency of the tubes facilitates the detection of any obstruction or leak, ensuring efficient and uniform irrigation.
- Automotive Industry: In the manufacture and maintenance of vehicles, these tubes are used to convey liquids such as gasoline to fuel systems, oil to lubrication systems, and water to refrigeration systems. The chemical resistance of crystal PVC ensures the necessary durability in these aggressive environments.
- Chemical Product Transfer: In chemical industries, the tubes are ideal for transferring non-corrosive liquids. A practical example is their use in research laboratories to transport reagents from one point to another, where the clarity of the tube allows observation of the state of the liquids during transport.
- Domestic Applications: In addition to aspiration systems, the tubes can be found in domestic water filtration systems, where transparency helps with maintenance and checking the need for filter replacement.
- Design and Decoration: Due to its clean and modern aesthetic, Tucris Cristal Tubes also find a place in interior design projects, being used to create decorative elements such as lamps or to conduct lighting cables in a visible and stylish way.
