Micro Air-1

Ultra Low Air Pressure Regulator and Controllers for Plastic Tubing Extrusion Precise stable air pressure is a critical component in the extrusion of small plastic tubes. A precision internal air adjustment is needed for sizing and structure in the free extrusion of tubing. The outside diameter can be maintained for a wide range of varying flow rates such as when a cut is made or the tubing coiled. MicroAirs provide air support through the pin inside the die to maintain the tubing’s shape and prevent a collapse during the extrusion process. Used to make single-lumen, multi-lumen, balloon, taper, catheters, automotive and medical tubing. IMPROVEMENTS have recently been made for even more precision and accuracy in the internal components of each model. • Regulates air pressure to a set point • Controls outside diameter • Precision output pressure display • Ultra Low ranges: 0 - 3” of water 0 - 5” of water 0 - 15” of water 0 - 30” of water 0 - 50” of water 0 - 3 psi 0 - 5 psi maximum Others available upon request. • Stainless steel enclosure • Hysteresis free regulating action auto control models • High speed model that accepts a 0-10 volt input for control • Multiple channels for multi-lumen tubing. • STAND now available Models Available: MicroAir I Manual model controlled by a single knob (30 turn adjustment) Single, Dual and 3-channel units MicroAir II Accepts contact closure inputs.
