Medical science is stepping forward to some revolutionary inventions. Scientists want medical equipment extruded rather than molded. Therefore, many companies produce their extruder machine to make a good quality product for medical purposes.

However, making a good quality medical extrusion design for your product is not always easy. Therefore, you must consider some tips to get perfect medical extrusion.

Tips for Good Quality medical extrusion design

You can follow these tips for making a perfect extrusion.

Regular wall thickness

During the extrusion process, you better achieve an even wall thickness in your extrusion design. Variations in thickness can make the flow of plastic material through the tool difficult to regulate. Therefore, it may cause cooling at different rates and distort the finished product. Irregular extrusion wall thicknesses can also lead to difficulties in manufacturing and increased medical production costs.

Limit detail in hollow profiles

As medical extrusion is a continuous process, an internal definition in hollow sections is difficult to achieve. The reason is that there is no way of getting inside the hollow to hold detail in place during the forming process. You can achieve complex details only by opening up the profile. Therefore, Supermac Company’s medical extrusion machine can provide the same.

Avoid hollows in hollows.

You have to avoid multiple hollows in your medical product. A hollow within another hollow cannot make perfection in position. It may force the intended design out of shape before the thermoplastic solidifies. Therefore, you need to follow this tip for the medical

extrusion process. Provide good access to internal detail

Medical extruded products are often used in serious issues of a patient. For instance, the tubes made from an extruder machine may go through a patient’s lungs to help them breathe properly during emergencies. Therefore, you need to provide well-access to internal details.

Length Tolerance

Making a medical extruded product may make you extra cost for waste material. The extrusion materials may add unnecessary costs while cutting them. You can achieve a tolerance of +/- 3mm on a profile of 1,000mm in length. However, it can increase with the longer ones. Therefore, medical extrusion requires very tight tolerances that can save you money.

Mating parts

Custom plastic profiles for medical uses often need to fit other components. Therefore, you can provide a sample of the mating part. It can help the tool design stage. Moreover, it ensures an accurate fit when trialing the extruded profile.

Clear plastic profiles

You can achieve a clear finish with several materials to varying degrees of clarity. For instance, clear rigid PVC is the cheapest material available. However, it cannot produce a glass-clear finish to your medical product. Therefore, you better choose PETG or Polycarbonate to obtain optimum clarity, depending on your profile design criteria.

Flexible profile designs

Medical extruded products often need flexibility because they may go through the internal body parts of a person. Therefore, you better choose flexible plastic or other profiles for the medical extrusion process. Supermac uses the best quality profile to get maximum flexibility.

Various extruded Medical Products

The manufacturers make some brilliant medical products using an extrusion machine.

Medical bags

The manufacturers use medical extruders for medical bags extruded from various plastic materials, like PVC and PP.

Medical Sheet

The renowned company, Supermac’s medical sheet extrusion lines consist of single and twin-screw extruders for medical-grade materials. They use extruders to produce nontoxic foils for medical bags for transfusion or dialysis.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the medical extrusion industry has played a vital role for pharmaceutical companies and other medical sectors. Therefore, trusting the extruder machines of Supermac company can be the best choice.
