PLA GIKEN Fluororesin Extrusion Equipment

Freon gas has been mainly used for cleaning semiconductor parts, but these days, against the backdrop of environmental concerns such as the depletion of the ozone layer, cleaning with ultra-pure water has become popular.

Fluoropolymer tubes are thus often used for piping in factories that use ultra-pure water and for the internal piping of equipment.

Back in the 1990s, PLA GIKEN CO., LTD. developed a fluorine tube moulding machine by applying manufacturing technology for multi-layered tubes for automobiles. Since then, the demand for fluororesin tubes has expanded to liquid-crystal manufacturing, clean room piping, and medical equipment.

For fluoropolymers, which have unique resin properties, it is important to select an optimum moulding method according to the shape and function of the moulded end product. PLA Giken equipment can handle high-temperature extrusion and features the corrosion resistance and operability that is essential for fluororesin moulding and can also be situated within a clean room.
