Medical Tubing Extrusion

Medical Tubing Extrusion

Applications

Description


Our medical tubing extrusion line is specifically engineered for high-precision medical catheters and specialty tubing, meeting the strict quality, safety, and reliability standards of the healthcare industry. The equipment is capable of processing a wide range of medical-grade materials including PVC, PU, TPU, PE, and EVA. It supports single-lumen, multi-lumen, and multi-layer tube structures, suitable for applications such as vascular catheters, infusion sets, gastric tubes, urinary catheters, and other clinical devices.


Key Features & Advantages

  • High-Precision Control: Equipped with closed-loop laser diameter measurement and PLC control, maintaining outer diameter and wall thickness tolerances within ±0.01 mm, with automatic out-of-spec rejection.
  • Vacuum Calibration & Cooling: Low-pressure vacuum calibration tanks and spray water cooling systems ensure consistent tube dimensions, while internal lumen accuracy is maintained through precise air pressure and die design.
  • Multi-Layer & Multi-Lumen Extrusion: Supports co-extrusion and multi-lumen designs, enabling complex catheter and multifunctional tubing production.
  • Material Compatibility & Clean Design: Compatible with various medical-grade materials. Key components are made of stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys, designed for cleanroom operation to prevent static and dust contamination.
  • High-Speed, Stable Output: Combines volumetric extrusion with advanced servo control, achieving production speeds up to 150 m/min with consistent stability.
  • Precision Cutting & Winding: Servo-driven haul-off and planetary cutting units provide accurate fixed-length or continuous cutting, with automatic winding options for efficient packaging and downstream handling.
  • Complete Line Equipment: The full line includes single-tube die heads, vacuum spray cooling tanks, haul-off units, dual-axis cycloidal winding machines, 3-meter air-blowing feeding racks, belt conveyors, and high-pressure air-blowing feeding functions to ensure stable production.
  • Operation Control System: Offers both traditional operator interfaces and PC-based operation systems for enhanced flexibility and data management.
