Plastic Ducts for Turbo Air Circuits
MANUPLAST designs and manufactures technical plastic ducts for turbocharger intake and outlet air circuits serving the automotive, agricultural, construction (off‑road), and industrial sectors.
Installed at the heart of the under‑hood environment, these components are subjected to particularly severe constraints:
- air intake scoops
- high temperatures
- rapid thermal variations
- boosted air pressure
- engine vibrations
- exposure to oil mist
Design of plastic extrusion parts suitable for extreme environments
Our plastic ducts are manufactured from high‑performance technical materials (PA, reinforced PA, PP, EPDM, TPC), selected to ensure:
- high thermal resistance
- resistance to turbo pressure and pressure pulses
- excellent resistance to oils and condensates
- controlled flexibility and vibration absorption
- long‑term dimensional stability
Thanks to 3D suction technology, we are able to produce complex geometries optimized for airflow, while maintaining strict control over weight and space requirements.
With more than 65 years of expertise in 2D extrusion blow molding, MANUPLAST masters the production of hollow plastic components in a wide variety of shapes. Parts can then be cut, machined, welded, or assembled to deliver a complete, ready to‑install solutions.
Plastic components for battery cooling systems
Building on its expertise in technical ducting, MANUPLAST also develops plastic ducts dedicated to battery cooling systems for electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid vehicles, energy storage systems, and high‑performance industrial equipment.
