“Trident” Extrusion Crosshead

For High‑Performance Medical Tubing

Unlock superior precision and reliability in your medical tubing production with our Tri Layer Extrusion Crosshead, engineered for manufacturers who demand uncompromising quality and process control. Designed specifically for advanced multi layer catheter and medical tubing applications, this extrusion cross delivers exceptional concentricity, layer uniformity, and material efficiency—every time.

Key Advantages

True Tri Layer Capability Simultaneously extrude three distinct polymer layers with unmatched stability. Ideal for barrier layers, bonding layers, lubricious inner lumens, and protective outer jackets up to 1.250in diameter. Inner diameter as small as .625in before drawing down.
Precision Flow Control Optimized flow channels and balanced distribution ensure consistent wall thickness and perfect layer adhesion, even at high line speeds.
Superior Concentricity Rigid or adjustable alignment architecture minimizes runout and ensures tight tolerances, supporting the most demanding catheter and micro tubing specifications.
Fast Changeovers & Easy Maintenance Modular components, quick access tooling, and smooth internal surfaces reduce downtime and simplify cleaning between production runs.
Material Versatility Compatible with a wide range of medical grade polymers, including PEBA, TPU, nylon, and custom blends.
Built for Cleanroom Production Precision machined surfaces and contamination resistant design support stringent medical manufacturing environments.

Applications

Catheters (diagnostic, interventional, and vascular)
Multi layer micro tubing
Drug delivery tubing
Reinforced shaft constructions
Specialty medical device components
