		Compact MD Extruder Series As a result of working closely with end users to develop an in depth understanding of their requirements, American Kuhne has satisfied the need for reduced floor space with a line of compact extruders. These extruders are designed to produce precision medical tubing within the space limitations that often exist in clean rooms. The unique Compact MD series extruder is designed specifically for clean room and/or controlled environments. The electrical controls are easily serviced and integral with the extruder frame, providing the benefit of reduced machine width and reduced floor space. The low profile control panel enables the operator's unobstructed view across the clean room production area. The machine is designed with ...




		Gearless Medical Compact Extruder Highly flexible and energy efficient, this extruder offers clean, quiet, gearless operation The extruder does not require a gearbox and is ideal for clean room and/or controlled environments. The gearless technology eliminates contamination from drive belt dust and gear oil for the reduced potential of contamination in a clean room environment. This newest generation modular extruder includes a high torque, low speed; synchronous AC motor with integral thrust bearing that directly drives the screw. The combination of the permanent magnet motor and elimination of the gearbox increase the machine’s energy efficiency by at least 10%, and is extremely quiet in operation.




		Micro Extruders The need for device manufacturer’s to improve physical properties while simultaneously reducing the product’s outer dimensions to aide minimally invasive surgery has led to an increased requirement for microbore, multi-layer coextruded tubes. Due to the ultra-low volumes, conventional size medical extruders such as a 25 mm machine running very slow screw speeds is not recommended because the long residence time in the barrel and screw channels will degrade the polymer. Micro extruders can run at comfortable screw speeds to avoid polymer degradation. American Kuhne offers Modular Microextruders in 13 mm and 16 mm sizes for extruding single layer microbore tubes with an OD range of .4 mm (0.016”) to 2.5 mm (.100”); tubes with one ...




		Medical Modular Extruder This extruder provides for quick and easy barrel and screw L/D and/or diameter changes – allowing for fast product changes for different size tubing applications. The system also enables processors to perform off-line clean-out of the feed and barrel sections for faster resin change-over. American Kuhne offers unique modular extruders that enable barrel and screw “modules” to be changed quickly and easily, at an affordable price. First, for applications that are very sensitive to contamination and/or resin changes, the ability to easily separate the screw and barrel from a machine and replace it with a clean “on-deck” module can be critical to both product purity and profitability by reducing changeover time between runs. ...
