High-Efficiency Co-Extrusion Engineering Solutions
Explore precision extrusion lines engineered for multi-layer co-extruded tubes, specialized technical profiles, and medical fluid circuits.
The Science of Multi-Polymer Co-Extrusion
Overcoming interfacial instability, rheological disparity, and melt cross-contamination across complex cross-sections.
Interfacial Rheology Optimization
Co-extrusion forces dissimilar polymers—such as polar Polyamides (PA11/PA12) and non-polar Polyolefins (HDPE/PP)—through a singular die channel. We engineer specialized spiral distributor mandrels that match shear stresses at the merge point, effectively suppressing interfacial wave instabilities.
- Eliminates "sharkskin" melt fracture
- Uniform circumferential layer thickness
- Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) dies
Tie-Layer Chemical Grafting
Polymer interfaces require durable adhesion without micro-delamination under cyclic thermal fatigue. Our machinery coordinates synchronized dosing for maleic anhydride grafted polymers (MAh-g), establishing covalent bonding across barrier strata (EVOH, PVDF, ETFE).
- Peel strength meeting SAE J2260 standards
- Dynamic melt-flow index synchronization
- Zero pinhole permeation integrity
Differential Thermal Regulation
Processing fluoropolymers alongside low-temp elastomers involves melt gradients exceeding 120°C within inches. Our co-extrusion crossheads integrate ceramic barrier insulators and zoned copper sleeve cooling to isolate thermal degradation while preserving melt plasticity.
- Individual barrel temperature zones ±0.5°C
- High-grade nickel-alloy die toolings
- Closed-circuit water tempering control
