What plastic parts do water purification machines use?

13-03-2024

In the manufacturing process of water purification machine, the selection of plastic parts is crucial. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a plastic material widely used in water purification machines. Its excellent properties make it an indispensable part of the water purification system. Below we will delve into the reasons and advantages of using PVC plastic parts in water purification machines.


Application of PVC plastic parts in water purification machine

PVC plastic parts play an important role in water purification machines and are mainly used to manufacture filter housings, pipe connectors, water tanks and other components. PVC has the advantages of high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and strong pressure resistance, making it very suitable for use in water purification systems. The following are the main applications of PVC plastic parts in water purification machines:


Filter element shell: The filter element in the water purification machine usually needs to be installed in a special shell. The filter element shell made of PVC material has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, which can protect the filter element and ensure its normal operation.


Pipe connectors: The pipe system of the water purification machine requires the use of corrosion-resistant and high-pressure-resistant pipe connectors. PVC pipe connectors have excellent chemical resistance and pressure resistance, which can ensure the stable operation of the pipeline system.


Water tank: Some water purification machines are equipped with water storage tanks for storing purified water. Water tanks made of PVC plastic parts are corrosion-resistant and not easily deformed, and can store purified water safely and reliably.

What are the advantages of PVC plastic in water purification machine?

Chemical resistance: PVC plastic has excellent chemical resistance and can resist chemicals commonly used in water treatment, such as chlorine, chloride, etc., and is not easily corroded by chemical substances.


Heat resistance: PVC plastic has high heat resistance, can withstand high temperatures, is not easy to deform or soften, and maintains the stable operation of the water purification machine in high temperature environments.


Pressure resistance: PVC plastic has high pressure resistance and can withstand greater pressure, ensuring the safe operation of the water purification machine in a high-pressure environment.


Cost-effectiveness: PVC plastic has the characteristics of low production cost and simple processing and molding, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of water purification machine and improve the competitiveness and market share of products.


Environmental protection: PVC plastic does not release toxic substances during the manufacturing and use process, has good environmental protection, and meets environmental protection requirements and standards.

Are there any challenges in using PVC plastic in water purification machine?

Although PVC plastic has many advantages in water purification machines, there are also some challenges that need to be considered and solved during the design and manufacturing process.


First of all, the thermal stability of PVC plastic is relatively poor. Under some high temperature conditions, PVC plastic may soften or deform, affecting the performance and stability of plastic parts. Therefore, when designing and manufacturing water purification machines, it is necessary to consider the thermal stability of PVC plastic and take corresponding measures to prevent it from being affected by high temperatures.


Secondly, PVC plastic may release harmful substances under certain conditions. Although PVC plastic itself is harmless to the human body, harmful volatile organic compounds may be released during some specific processing and use, causing certain impacts on the environment and human health. Therefore, during the design and manufacturing process of the water purification machine, it is necessary to select high-quality PVC plastic and strictly control the processing technology to reduce the release of harmful substances.

In addition to PVC plastic, what other plastic parts can be used for water purification machine?

In addition to PVC plastic, water purification machine can also use some other plastic parts, mainly including:


Polypropylene (PP): Polypropylene has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and is suitable for manufacturing filter housings, pipe connectors and other components in water purification machines.


Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): PTFE has excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and is suitable for manufacturing special parts in water purification machines, such as high-precision filters.


Polyethylene (PE): Polyethylene has good heat resistance and chemical resistance and is suitable for manufacturing water tanks, pipes and other components in water purification machines.

As a commonly used plastic material in water purification machines, PVC plastic has the advantages of chemical resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, etc., which can ensure the stable operation and high-quality purification effect of the water purification machine. In addition to PVC plastic, the water purification machine can also use other plastic parts materials, such as polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc., to meet the purification requirements of different scenarios and needs. 


Through the reasonable selection and use of plastic parts, the performance and reliability of the water purification machine can be improved, providing users with better water treatment solutions.
