Medical Tubing Extrusion: Precision and Process Control with the Tecno System MED Series

One medical extrusion concept. Different sizes for different applications.

Medical tubing extrusion requires precise control of temperature, screw speed and material feeding in order to achieve stable and repeatable production conditions. This is the concept behind the Tecno System MED Series, a range of extruders specifically developed for medical tubing and high-precision micro-extrusion applications.

The series starts from compact 12 mm screw diameter extruders, designed for demanding micro-tubing applications, and includes different machine sizes according to the required output, polymer and final product. Among these configurations, the TM 30 MED, equipped with a 30 mm screw, combines compact dimensions with the process-control features required by the medical industry.

Full stainless-steel construction
The TM 30 MED is manufactured with full stainless-steel construction, including the control panel.
Smooth stainless-steel surfaces facilitate cleaning and provide a robust, corrosion-resistant solution suitable for medical extrusion production environments.
The machine has also been designed to provide easy access to the main components, simplifying operation and routine maintenance.
High-precision brushless drive
The brushless drive system provides precise and repeatable screw speed control.
Stable screw rotation is particularly important in medical tubing extrusion, where variations in extruder output can directly affect the dimensional consistency of the final tube.
Brushless technology also combines high efficiency with reduced maintenance requirements.
PID multi-zone temperature control. The TM 30 MED features PID multi-zone temperature control, allowing the barrel temperature profile to be accurately adjusted according to the polymer being processed. Precise thermal management helps maintain stable melt conditions and contributes to consistent extrusion performance throughout the production cycle.ù
Temperature-controlled cooled feed throat. The feed section is equipped with a temperature-controlled cooled feed throat. By limiting unwanted heat transfer towards the feeding area, this system helps maintain regular material feeding and improves overall process stability.
Designed for stable and repeatable extrusion. The combination of precise screw speed control, accurate thermal regulation and controlled material feeding provides the basis for a stable and repeatable extrusion process. This is particularly important for medical tubing and micro-extrusion applications, where small variations in process conditions can have a significant effect on final product dimensions.
Compact design for medical extrusion lines. The TM 30 MED has been developed with a compact footprint, making it easy to integrate into complete medical extrusion lines and multi-extruder configurations. Its compact architecture is particularly useful where several extruders are required for coextrusion applications or where available production space is limited.
Different materials, different extrusion requirements

Tecno System medical extrusion systems can be configured for a wide range of polymers, including:

PVC, TPU, PUR, PE, PP, PA, PEBAX®, EVA, PEEK, PSU, PPS, POM, PVDF, PET, PETG, PBT and VESTAMID®.

Each extrusion system is configured according to the specific material, tube dimensions, required output and final application.

From micro-tubing to larger medical tubing. There is no single extruder configuration suitable for every medical application. For this reason, the Tecno System MED Series includes different extruder sizes, allowing each project to be developed around its real production requirements. From micro-tubing to larger medical tubing applications, the Tecno System MED Series can be configured according to the specific requirements of each extrusion process.

Precision, process stability and flexibility remain at the core of the entire range.
