Polyurea Spray Machine | Pipeline and Field-Joint Coating

Hydraulic-driven two-component spraying with heated delivery hoses and configured rotary/orbital interfaces for pipeline external and field-joint coating.

Continuous Steel Pipe External Coating Automation

Precision Helical Polyurea Application for Heavy-Duty Pipelines

Hydraulic-driven two-component spraying with heated delivery hoses and configured rotary/orbital interfaces for pipeline external and field-joint coating.

Hydraulic-driven two-component spraying with heated delivery hoses and configured rotary/orbital interfaces for pipeline external and field-joint coating.

The package covers hydraulic-driven proportioning, specified heated hoses, mechanical-cleanout guns, the agreed pipe rotation or orbital carriage and controls. Induction heating and mobile generation are optional. Coating and primer come from the selected material supplier; blasting and lifting are customer interfaces. This spray route does not constitute a complete three-layer polyethylene extrusion coating line.

Precision Helical Polyurea Application for Heavy-Duty Pipelines

Material Flow and Working Principle

Induction Heating & Substrate Pre-Conditioning

The bare steel pipe (grit-blasted to Sa 2.5) rotates through a medium-frequency induction heater, elevating steel temperatures to 50–65°C to accelerate chemical bonding and drive off microscopic surface moisture.

Hydraulic Pulse-Free Metering

A mechanically linked dual-acting hydraulic proportioner draws isocyanate and polyamine streams from 200 L drums, displacing both fluids at a 1:1 volumetric ratio up to 21 MPa without pressure drops during stroke transitions.

Long-Distance Thermal Delivery

Fluid passes through inline cast-aluminum primary heaters and a 120-meter copper-mesh wrapped heated umbilical cable, maintaining material temperatures at 65°C ± 1°C directly to the gun manifold.

Automated Helical Impingement Spraying

High-pressure fluid streams impinge inside multiple mechanical-purge guns mounted on a servo tracking ring, depositing a seamless, fan-shaped liquid polyurea layer as the pipe advances helically.

Online NDT Spark Testing & Cooling

The specified online ndt spark testing & cooling stage is configured for the selected material, substrate and operating window. Settings and resulting coating quality require the agreed process and original inspection records.

Key Equipment Features

The package covers hydraulic-driven proportioning, specified heated hoses, mechanical-cleanout guns, the agreed pipe rotation or orbital carriage and controls. Induction heating and mobile generation are optional. Coating and primer come from the selected material supplier; blasting and lifting are customer interfaces. This spray route does not constitute a complete three-layer polyethylene extrusion coating line.

Hydraulic-Driven Proportioning

The specified proportioning arrangement is calibrated for the stated volumetric recipe and operating window.

Heated Delivery Interfaces

Hose length, pressure loss and material temperature are verified together under the selected ambient conditions.

Configured Pipe Traversal

Rotary or orbital movement is selected for the pipe and joint geometry; coating build is verified by inspection.

Coating Inspection Interfaces

Holiday inspection settings and adhesion tests are established for the actual coating build-up and agreed method.

Planning questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this spraying route relate to existing 3PE pipe coatings?
The supplied package covers liquid-applied external or field-joint coating. Compatibility, overlap and pulling conditions require coating-system approval and project testing. It is distinct from a full three-layer polyethylene extrusion line.
How are long heated hoses configured?
The supplied 120 m length is a configuration reference. Material viscosity, flow, ambient conditions, heating and gun-end pressure must be verified together; length alone does not establish delivered performance.
How are surface preparation and inspection settings selected?
Surface preparation, primer, application temperature and inspection voltage are set for the selected material and thickness. A holiday test voltage is not a measurement of dielectric breakdown strength per millimeter.
Does an external coating package also cover internal spraying?
Internal coating requires a separately engineered crawler, access geometry, controls and inspection arrangement. It is an optional interface and is not assumed to be included in this external/joint package.
