- Key Products/Technologies
- The main product categories include extruders, molding machines, dies, and auxiliary equipment. Extruders encompass various models such as the MDX series (6mm to 20mm), PEX type mobile extruders (30mm to 50mm), and PG type extruders (30mm to 200mm). The MDX series is particularly specialized for producing high-quality products for medical device manufacturers. Molding equipment includes medical catheter tube manufacturing equipment, multilayer tube manufacturing equipment, cross-linked PE pipe manufacturing equipment, among others. Dies offer customized solutions such as single-layer, multi-layer, multi-lumen tube dies, sheet and film dies, and T-dies for lamination. The 'Mixing Head' technology is an innovative solution enabling the production of seamless, variable durometer catheter shafts.The main product categories include extruders, molding machines, dies, and auxiliary equipment.

- Key technologies include the development capability of the 'In-situ Monitoring Extruder' for observing molten polymer behavior. The company's philosophy of making the impossible possible drives its technological advancements from a customer-centric perspective. For the automotive industry, its multi-layer tube manufacturing equipment possesses the technology to co-extrude up to six-layer tubes with various functions, including gas impermeability. The company also has the capability to develop corrugator equipment optimized for small-diameter molding (4.0 mm and above). A technical tie-up with Corelco of France established a system for integrated control of the entire production line via a touch panel.Key technologies include the development capability of the 'In-situ Monitoring Extruder' for observing molten polymer behavior.
