Applications and types of scrapers for PE pipes
PE pipe scrapers are a very important tool in the process of removing the layer of oxidized polyethylene from the pipe surface. This allows them to be restored to both functionality and aesthetics. This treatment for pipes is very important because they regain their original properties, ensuring perfect tightness. Two types of scrapers can be used here - manual or rotary.
The hand scraper is a very simple device with a simple design, but it thoroughly removes the top layer of polyethylene, which is possible thanks to its precisely designed pin and blade. This type of scraper is used to remove oxidized layers of small diameters. A much more advanced solution is a rotary scraper, which ensures even, and therefore effective, pressure on the blade. Thanks to this, the results of the work are not only quick, but also as precise as possible. Rotary scrapers are used for all pipe diameters.
Removing oxidized polyethylene with a PE pipe scraper
The layer of oxidized polyethylene on the pipe is problematic, but it is easy to remove using the PE pipe scrapers described in this article. The scrapers are equipped with a scraping blade, effectively removing the polyethylene layer. After such treatment, the pipe becomes clean.
It is very important to press the blade evenly against the pipe surface, which ensures greater efficiency. Each scraper is equipped with appropriately designed elements - head, shaft and, of course, blade. Remember that this activity is mandatory before electrofusion welding of various shapes. So you cannot skip this step.
The pipes must be cut appropriately, at right angles, and cleaned using a scraper. This is the absolute basis for starting the electrofusion welding process, i.e. connecting polyethylene pipes, using special fittings for this purpose.
