Definition: Auxiliary Equipment for Plastic tubing extrusion lines especially medical and catheter manufacturers that require precise stable air pressure put into the inlet in the die to control the ID inner diameter of the tube. Range are available from 0-3" of water up to the maximum of 0-5 psi. Meters are available in psi, inches of water, kilopascal and millibar.
Pressure Control: The set point may be adjusted manually on a MicroAir I. When connected to standard factory air supply, the MicroAir's regulator balances the output pressure against a low-tension spring and expels surplus air to the atmosphere making it a complete air support system. This "force balance regulator" provides nearly instantaneous response to changes in flow rate and maintains a set pressure with flow rates from near zero up to the rated maximum. Manual model controlled by a single 30 turn fine adjustment knob.
Air Input: The air inlet is connected to normal factory air which has been regulated down to approximately 50 psi.
Available in single, dual and 3-channel units for multilumen tubing.
