Davis-Standard to Feature Running Taper Tube Line at MD&M West
(Pawcatuck, Conn.) - Live demonstrations of Davis-Standard’s tight tolerance medical tubing capabilities will be on display during MDM West in Anaheim, Calif., February 9, booth 2346. The running line will be making urethane double D taper tube used in pediatric dialysis applications. It will also feature Davis-Standard’s signature MEDD (Medical Extruder Direct Drive) extruder. The MEDD delivers direct drive technology for more efficient operation as well as greater materials flexibility, a replaceable feed section liner, interchangeable barrel assembly and a Windows® PLC control system.
Medical tubing continues to be an area of significant growth for Davis-Standard. To support customer profitability, Davis-Standard has installed a medical lab line in a cleanroom environment at its Technical Center in Pawcatuck, Conn. This line features two MEDD extruders and associated downstream equipment located in a climate-controlled “clean room” environment. Customers are able to test new resins, make parts for proof-of-concept, and conduct downstream RD prior to making large capital equipment investments. The line is extremely versatile and set up to run multiple resins. It also incorporates Davis-Standard’s patented alternate polymer technology with all components monitored and controlled by the EPIC III® control system.
In order to showcase its lab capablities, Davis-Standard held a symposium in Pawcatuck last fall that included demonstrations of FEP tubing with barium sulfite stripes and alternate polymer tubing.
