Microduct Tubing Extrusion Lines
Boston Matthews manufacture complete Multi-Layer Extrusion Lines specifically for the manufacture of Microduct Tubing and Fibre Optic Ducting.
Typical polymers such as HDPE and Silicon are processed in multi-layer form to adhere to industry standards and specifications (wall thickness, UV Stabilised Temperature Resistance, etc) and to ensure good "blow distances" are achieved.
The tube can be striped and printed for identification and distance marking.
Tube quality control management systems and automatic layering ensure ducting is produced to the highest standard.
Boston Matthews design and manufacture the complete turn-key extrusion line.
This includes extruders, tooling and all downstream equipment.
A single source of supply, contact and support.
Boston Matthews have extensive experience of multi-layer extrusion ensuring the layers are produced with correct thickness and ovality. Co-Extruders are easy to position for exact alignment and small flow adapters further enhances tube quality.
Tube Quality Management Systems have been incorporated to ensure that tube quality is constantly monitored and maintained providing: -
- Closed Loop Laser Diameter Control
- PLC Line Control
- Wall Thickness Monitoring
- Out of Tolerance Tube Rejection Systems – Loss in Weight; Lump Recognition; Diameter Measurement; etc
Boston Matthews Colour Touch Screen PLC SMART Control allows all production data and quality to be logged and exported for traceability. The ability to log production conditions and to export to various platforms such as Ethernet, SCADA, Excel, etc gives you and your customers the information you need when you need it.
Consistent tube winding systems ensure the completed Microduct is layered neatly onto the chosen spool size for easy packing and transportation.
In-line printing of the Mircoduct for tube identification is fully integrated into the extrusion line.
