1. The Principle of Extrusion:

Extrusion is a fundamental process in various industries to create products with uniform cross-sections and long lengths. The principle revolves around forcing material, often plastic pellets, through a shaped die to create a desired shape and size. This process finds applications in industries ranging from packaging and construction to automotive and medical equipment manufacturing.

2. Extrusion Tubing Process:

The extrusion of tubing involves the same principle but is specifically tailored to create tubes with precise dimensions and characteristics. This process is crucial in the medical industry, where tubing is used for applications such as catheters, IV lines, and medical devices. Graham Engineering’s expertise in extrusion technology ensures that the tubing produced is of the highest quality, meeting the stringent requirements of the medical field.
