The haul-off unit
TWIN-SCREW EXTRUDER This unprecedented solution is based on a twin-screw extruder from the Nextmover MD 75 / 24 series , on which a specially designed stainless-steel head is installed . The cooling and calibration benches are designed with a unique idler system to reduce the overall dimensions of the line . In particular , ad-hoc idler systems allow for a threefold increase in the time the tube remains under water , thus ensuring greater efficiency and extrusion speed , with an unrivalled final tube quality . In this respect , compliance with tolerances , which are particularly tight in the medical sector , is guaranteed by a sophisticated detection system that accurately measures the following parameters : diameter , ovality and wall thickness by laser and ultrasound , cross-section , shape and capacity of the tube , making it possible to rapidly reject non-compliant extrusions .
THE HAUL-OFF UNIT Another distinctive feature is the Haul-Off Unit , which is equipped with a Control Panel that , when fitted with the detection system , displays speed , measurement data and tolerances on the tube and its alarm systems . Furthermore , brushless motors , on request , help ensure even greater pulling accuracy for complete control of tube tension . Two types of accessories complete the line : the quick cutting system or the automatic winders , whose speed is precisely controlled throughout the winding process . “ The construction of an extrusion line for medical products is always a very challenging project , especially when installing in limited spaces and it is necessary to downsize the plant compared to standard sizes ,” states Giovanni Bausano , Head of the Technical Department , adding “ Thanks to decades of experience , Bausano is able to respond with cutting-edge technological solutions to the most complex technical specifications , in full compliance with strict international standards ” and concludes “ In this sense , the new high-speed line is an example of excellence , especially in terms of component customisation , including the Industry 4.0 software , which can be configured in the language of the end customer ”.
