Extrusion International 6-2025

45 Extrusion International 6/2025 es material usage compared with other types of extrusion tooling • Spiderless inline-designed heads results in no spider lines and allows room for more air — thus elimi- nating cold legs, which can inhibit product output • Runs 1-5 layers simultaneously • Engineered for a multitude of applications — including special u - oropolymer applications A key Guill Tool technical highlight of the Series 900 is a patent-pend- ing FeatherTouch™adjustment in the die holder and a cartridge-style ball assembly that does not require the loosening of retaining screws to make adjustments. Additional unique bene ts of the Series 900 include Guill’s Seal Right Systems, a positive seal, which eliminates leak- age between de ectors, along with easy self-alignment that reduces operator error during assembly and is adaptable to a variety of speci c extruder layout con gurations. “This series offers a standard plat- form design of the head with spe- ci c characteristics that are unique to individual applications included at no additional charge in the cost of the tooling. This is a tremendous bene t to a company that requires precision tooling with custom bene- ts at a standard off-the-shelf price. That certainly helps our customers’ bottom line,” said Tom Baldock, Guill Sales Manager.

Guill specializes in working with clients to design and manufacture Custom Extrusion Tooling to produce an unparalleled range of the highest quality Medi- cal tubing in the industry. The com- pany’s Micro Medical tooling can extrude tube thinner than a human hair, .008“ or ner per revolution, and can be used to keep procedures as non-invasive as possible. Other models are used to produce tubing for feeding applications, including nasogastric and jejunal tubes. Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc.
