Spiratex Co. Release date: May 24, 2007
Monroe, Michigan May 24, 2007 - The Spiratex Company boasts another first with the successful extrusion of a 12"OD X 6.5" ID UHMW/PE Tube. They were the first to extrude a UHMW/PE profile in the early 60's, and they have now manufactured the largest tube available in UHMW/PE.
"If you thought it couldn't be done, you haven't called Spiratex." This quote by a Spiratex Engineer sums up the company's philosophy and purpose. The unusually large UHMW/PE tube is proof of their commitment to that purpose. Their eagerness to attempt difficult projects using many different plastics has allowed Spiratex to break many barriers in the extrusion industry.
The idea to extrude the large tube came from a food processing company who had been machining a tube from UHMW/PE rod. The problem was that they couldn't get the length they desired and were forced to bond two tubes together. This created a seam which caused mechanical problems. Spiratex met the challenge and was able to extrude a smoother, higher quality tube in the exact length needed that eliminated several secondary operations.
This type of success is not unusual for Spiratex. Over the 50 years that they have been in business, Spiratex has solved many problems in many industries. Although they have built their reputation on custom work, they also have a full line of standard parts available. For more information about the many plastics Spiratex extrudes, visit their website; www.spiratex.com or call 734-289-4800.
