Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...
Using a proprietary process, Microspec extrudes single- and multilumen bump tubing for minimally invasive applications. The proliferation of minimally invasive procedures has prompted engineers and ...
A new invention from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) could soon help manufacturers ...
This study presents a deep learning-based monitoring system for estimating extrusion angles in the manufacturing process of microcatheter tubes. Given the critical nature of these tubes, which are ...
Optimization of the mechanical and crash properties of extruded AA6XXX automotive profiles requires detailed understanding of grain size evolution and formation of the peripheral coarse grain (PCG) ...
Operators should watch for changes in line sound, vibration, melt appearance, surface quality, and cooling behavior.
In the plastics industry, twin screws are at the very heart of the extrusion process that transforms raw materials into rigid PVC pipe or profile. These highly engineered components are integral to ...
The hot melt extrusion (HME) process can be employed in the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges and implants. HME is suitable for both ...
Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...
