Abstract:
A method for cutting a pipe made of thermoplastic material including, in combination, the following steps: feeding a continuous pipe made of thermoplastic material; localised and circumferential heating of a first localised axial portion of the pipe for a predetermined time using a heating unit; cutting without removal of chippings, using a cutting unit, of the first heated axial portion, to obtain a piece of the pipe; localised and circumferential heating of a second localised axial portion of the pipe, for a predetermined time, the second axial portion being placed at a predetermined distance from the first portion.
