High Precision Plastic Extruder for Making Medical PTFE Capillary Tube pipe

High-Efficiency Extruder for Plastic Material

The extruder serves as the heart of the Plastic Capillary Production Line, designed to melt and process plastic materials such as PVC, PE, or PET. The high-efficiency extruder ensures optimal plasticization, allowing for smooth, consistent extrusion of materials into capillary tubes. The extrusion process is closely monitored with advanced temperature and pressure controls, ensuring that the plastic material is heated evenly to prevent degradation and to achieve the desired mechanical properties.

Thanks to the precision of the extruder, manufacturers can produce capillary tubes that meet strict dimensional and mechanical tolerances, including high flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance.

Precise Die Head for Capillary Tube Shaping

A key component of the Plastic Capillary Production Line is the die head, which shapes the melted plastic into capillary tubes. The die head is designed with precise control mechanisms to produce tubes with consistent diameter, wall thickness, and surface smoothness. This is especially important when producing capillary tubes for sensitive applications, such as medical or electronic systems, where dimensional accuracy is paramount.

The die head is fully customizable, allowing manufacturers to produce a variety of tube sizes to meet specific industry requirements. Whether small, medium, or large capillary tubes are needed, the die head ensures uniformity and precision in every batch.

High-Precision Sizing and Cooling System

After extrusion, the plastic capillary tube enters the cooling and sizing section of the Plastic Capillary Production Line. A highly efficient water bath or air-cooling system is employed to rapidly solidify the tube, preventing deformation and ensuring dimensional stability. The cooling process is critical in ensuring that the tube retains its shape and does not warp or collapse as it cools.

The sizing system plays a vital role in maintaining the tube's precise diameter and wall thickness. The tube is calibrated during the cooling phase to maintain its circular shape and ensure uniformity. This advanced sizing system ensures that the final product meets the stringent quality standards required by industries such as automotive, electronics, and medical sectors.

Automated Haul-Off and Cutting Mechanism

The Plastic Capillary Production Line includes an automated haul-off unit that precisely pulls the extruded tube through the cooling section and ensures smooth, continuous processing. The haul-off unit controls the pulling speed to prevent stretching or deformation of the tube, ensuring uniformity in both length and diameter.

The cutting system is integrated into the line and automatically trims the capillary tubes into the desired lengths. The cutting process is designed to minimize waste and ensure clean, precise cuts that require minimal post-processing. This automation reduces labor costs and helps manufacturers achieve a high level of productivity.

Energy-Efficient and Eco-Friendly Design

The Plastic Capillary Production Line is designed with energy efficiency in mind, incorporating advanced technologies to reduce power consumption and optimize the production process. This energy-saving approach helps manufacturers minimize operational costs and increase profitability. Additionally, the line is designed to generate minimal material waste during production, which further contributes to its eco-friendly operation.

This sustainable design ensures that manufacturers can produce high-quality plastic capillary tubes while maintaining a focus on reducing their environmental impact. The energy-efficient systems also reduce the overall carbon footprint of the production process, making the line suitable for companies committed to eco-friendly manufacturing practices.

1. Material Feeding and Melting

The production process begins with the feeding of plastic resin, such as PVC, PE, or PET, into the extruder. The resin is melted and processed under controlled heat and pressure to create a homogeneous, meltable mass. This is essential for ensuring smooth and consistent extrusion. The extruder is equipped with a screw and barrel system that ensures uniform melting and plasticization, preparing the material for the extrusion phase.

2. Extrusion and Shaping

The molten plastic is then fed through the die head, where it is shaped into the desired tube form. The die head is meticulously engineered to produce capillary tubes with specific dimensions, ensuring precise control over the tube's internal and external diameters. The extruder is synchronized with the die head to ensure continuous and uninterrupted flow of the material, resulting in high-quality tubes.

3. Cooling and Sizing

After extrusion, the newly formed capillary tubes enter the cooling and sizing section of the production line. A water bath or air-cooling system quickly cools the tubes, allowing them to retain their shape and preventing any collapse or deformation. The sizing system ensures that the tubes' dimensions remain uniform and precise, which is crucial for the quality of the final product. This phase ensures that the capillary tubes meet industry standards for size and tolerance.

4. Haul-Off and Cutting

The haul-off unit pulls the tube through the cooling system at a consistent speed, maintaining the tube’s integrity while preventing stretching or warping. Once the tube has cooled and solidified, the cutting system automatically trims it to the required length, providing clean, precise cuts without any further handling. This automated cutting process ensures minimal waste and high efficiency, contributing to overall productivity.

5. Quality Control and Packaging

After cutting, the capillary tubes are subjected to a final quality inspection to ensure that they meet the required specifications. The inspection process checks the tubes for dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and any defects. If the tubes pass the quality control tests, they are packed for shipment, ready for use in various applications.
