A new two-headed extrusion tooling system DuralFlo™ is 40%-50% more productive in manufacturing rubber or silicone end products than conventional single-head systems; DualFlo™ systems yields bottom-line capital, labor and material savings and can be adapted by virtually any extruder – available from Guill Tool & Engineering, West Warwick, RI USA.

The newly designed 712 crosshead Series CircuitFlow from Guill Tool & Engineering, Inc. solves extrusion problems for wiring and other micro-encapsulation processes with highest accuracy in thin walls essential to electronic circuit board makers and small wire encapsulated with polymer and complex medical tubing, fine wire or other advanced mini-applications.

The 900SPR Series engineered with an adjustable center inline tubing die ensures excellent precision and holds close tolerance walls for all specialized medical applications including; multi-lumen, encapsulated stripe(s) and catheter tubing with walls as thin as .0002″ (.0000508cm)

The new 2 1/4″ (57mm) outer diameter by 2 1/4″ (57mm) in length crosshead is offering medical tubing, wire and cable, electronics and specialty OEM application manufacturers an exacting, convenient method to create micro-sized tubing for all types of compounds and expensive polymer applications available in six standard designs as well as custom configurations.

The 500 Series addresses industry’s long-standing search for a precision silicone extrusion. A special low-volume, thin-wall – as minute as 0.003″ — designed crosshead or in-line die for silicone that is specially enhanced for medical, fine wire and OEM tubing to large heads with up to 5 layers or multi-stripe capability, from Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc

West Warwick, RI – August 1, 2000 – Over the past several years, Guill Tool & Engineering Company has made an aggressive effort to purchase the latest machine tool technology available. Company President, Glen Guillemette reaffirms the fact that “Our investments in new technologies has allowed us to provide our customers with the highest quality tips and dies in the market. It has also greatly reduced the turnaround time and that is always very important to the customer.”

New Syncroflow Series from Guill Tool extrudes plastics and rubber simultaneously in the same tooling. This achieves better adhesion, with tighter tolerances as well as reduces the manufacturing cost because the extrusion is manufactured in one step versus the usual two or more steps.

A new series of highly engineered rotary/oscillating crossheads designed for advanced processing features multiple capabilities that improve product strength and eliminate secondary-stage processing requirements, is now available from Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc.

The Multiflow’s valve allows extruders to manufacture either three-layer or up to five-layer tubing products with the use of fewer extruders. Cost savings are considerable Manufacturer are now able to make a three-layer product by using only two extruders, saving substantially on required outlays for capital equipment.
