Pipe calibration tank MedLine® MedVac series

for extrusionvacuumfor profiles

Overview
MedLine® MedVac flood‑cooling vacuum sizing tanks provide precision vacuum sizing for single‑ and multilumen microbore to large‑gauge medical tubing. Designed for medical tubing manufacturers, the systems combine stainless‑steel wetted surfaces with digital controls to deliver stable, repeatable positioning and process control.

Features

• Stainless‑steel tank construction
• One‑piece telescoping drip tray for simplified cleaning and elimination of hidden seams
• Rounded tank bottom to remove corners and ease cleanout
• Hinged 1/2" (12.7 mm) tempered glass lids for visibility and reliable sealing
• Urethane swivel casters with jackscrews for secure positioning
• 3‑axis precision position adjustment for fine, vibration‑resistant alignment
• Manual 12" (305 mm) longitudinal adjustment with hand wheel for rapid linear movement to/from the die
• Swing‑arm pivoting control pod with ten‑turn potentiometer speed control and vacuum gauge; accommodates co‑extruder use without frame interference
• Painted steel frame (option for stainless‑steel frame)
• Full‑capacity stainless‑steel reservoir with easy‑access glass lids
• Variable‑speed VFAC vacuum pressure blower — high CFM at low RPM; standard operation to 130 inches water (3.3 m) with optional higher vacuum
• Stainless‑steel centrifugal water circulation pump and heat exchanger
• Quick‑change spin‑off filter
• Float valve for automatic filling and makeup
• Adjustable water level control with thermometer
• Removable free‑standing product roller assemblies for easy cleaning

Frequently Asked Questions
Cleaner interior design — Tank interior minimizes sharp corners and exposed threads to reduce bacterial and pyrogen particulate buildup. The one‑piece telescoping drip tray eliminates open seams and guide rollers are mounted on removable assemblies for thorough cleaning.

Medical‑grade filtration — Process water is isolated from the heat/cool circuit to prevent cross‑contamination. Systems can be fitted with an ultraviolet (UV) water purifier and a 5‑micron sediment pre‑filter as optional components.

Easy set‑up and operation — Narrow tank frame fits most extruders and melt pumps (including three‑layer). Three‑axis alignment with hand wheels, linear slides and ball‑screw actuators provides stable precision positioning within thousandths of an inch.
