Extrusion line with water cooling

for medical applicationstube

Overview
High-precision medical tubing extrusion line designed and manufactured in Europe. The line is built in compliance with GMP standards and incorporates modern extrusion and downstream technologies for small-diameter tubing, pipes and hoses used in medical and related applications. It also accommodates similar-profile extrusions within the stated size range.

Capabilities

• Extrusion of small-diameter medical tubing, pipes and hoses
• Tube outer diameter range: 10 mm – 50 mm
• Wall thickness configurable to application requirements; multi-lumen extrusion supported

Line composition

• Extruders with screw diameters from 20 mm to 45 mm
• Die systems including multi-lumen and bi-lumen options for multi-cavity tubes
• Downstream calibrating vacuum tank with internal calibrating and sizing unit
• Integrated water spray cooling in the vacuum tank for rapid, uniform cooling
• Caterpillar-type haul-off for controlled downstream conveying and accurate pull speed

Example / Special capability
Production of very small multi-lumen tubing is supported — example: a bi-lumen die producing a two-cavity tube with an outer diameter of 2 mm.

Technical specifications

• Designed to meet GMP standards
• Extruder screw sizes: 20 mm – 45 mm
