➠ Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc. 10 Pike Street, West Warwick, RI 02893, USA Tom Baldock, Sales Manager Extrusion ， 挤压销售经理 www.Guill.com Guill Series 900 The Series 900 technology offers these key benefits: • Achieves concentricity or “product roundness” which greatly reduces 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 eliminating cold legs, which can inhibit product output • Runs 1 to 5 layers simultaneously • Engineered for a multitude of applications – including special fluoropolymer applications A key Guill Tool technical highlight of the Series 900 is a patent- pending FeatherTouch™adjustment in the die holder and a car- tridge-style ball assembly that does not require the loosening of retaining screws to make adjustments. Additional unique bene- fits of the Series 900 include Guill’s Seal Right Systems, a posi- tive seal, which eliminates leakage between deflectors, along with easy self-alignment that reduces operator error during as- sembly and is adaptable to a variety of specific extruder layout configurations. “This series offers a standard platform design of the head with specific characteristics that are unique to individual applications included at no additional charge in the cost of the tooling. This is a tremendous benefit to a company that requires precision tooling with custom benefits at a standard off-the-shelf price. That certainly helps our customers’ bottom line,” says Tom Bal- dock, 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 Medical tubing in the industry. The company’s Micro Medical tooling can extrude tube thinner than a human hair, 0.008“ or finer per re- volution, 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. 25 Extrusion Asia Edition 1/2024
