Guill Tool Proudly Presents The Bullet™

Posted by guilltool on July 23, 2015 in Announcements, Uncategorized

Our Revolutionary Extrusion Tooling

BULLET0875 - PICTORIAL DATA SHEET 27may15

Our newest line of extrusion tooling, the Bullet™ was designed specifically by our engineers to expedite the production process and help our customers turn a higher profit. Featuring a multi-port spiral flow and fixed center design, the Bullet™ has adequate room for gum space adjustment. However the most advanced feature is the lack of fastening hardware.

Before this innovation, cleaning and maintaining the intricacies of crossheads was an arduous and time consuming process. In the past, the fastening hardware added to this process and also made restarting the extruder more complex. With our new Bullet™ design this is no longer the case. By eliminating the fastening hardware there are fewer steps and less down time resulting in the more efficient operation of your extrusion line.  

Additionally the lack of fastening hardware makes our extrusion head less likely to leak than conventional heads currently on the market. We strongly believe that our design places us at the forefront of extrusion technology and will help you to produce more with less downtime and greater profitability.

Guill 900 Inline Dies SPR Series For Advanced Medical Applications

Posted by guilltool on January 24, 2012 in Medical, Series, Uncategorized

Guill Tool & Engineering Co. 900SPR Series of in-line tubing dies are engineered to meet the exacting precision requirements of close tolerances in medical equipment applications.

The 900SPR Series, designed with an adjustable center inline die, ensures excellent precision for close tolerance walls – as thin as .0002″ (.000508cm) – in such applications as multi-layer, multi-lumen, encapsulated stripe(s) and catheter tubing.

The O. D. range of the 900SPR Series is .005″ – .375″ (.0127cm –.9525cm). This inline tubing die is adaptable to all extruders and is compatible with most styles and brands of tooling on the market today. Guill’s proprietary quick-change tooling feature can be added to many other tooling styles and brands.

Also, the 900SPR Series houses an adjustment mode that has been significantly improved, with a new FeatherTouch™ concentricity adjustment option.

Technology Extrudes Rubber and Plastics — Same Time, Same Tooling

Posted by guilltool on December 15, 2011 in Series, Syncroflow, Uncategorized

Designed for advanced rubber and plastic applications extruded simultaneously and in the same tooling, the Syncroflow™ Series is now available exclusively from Guill Tool, West Warwick, RI, USA.

The plastics can be run on the inside or the outside layer because the Syncroflow tooling is designed with a barrier that insulates and separates the extruded materials from each other. This extra layer facilitates the processing of two (2) materials within a wide range of processing temperatures.

With a fully adjustable design, Syncroflow allows for separate concentricity and gum space adjustment on each of both layers. Manufactured with 420 stainless steel, the SyncroFlow design has a proven outstanding flow pattern for low volume extrusion, and all the components are designed to hold tight/close tolerances. The new Syncroflow Series is available in standard sizes from 1/8” to 6” in diameter.

Saving time and money makes the Syncroflow technology invaluable in producing advanced products in today’s tough economic climate.

New Guill Extrusion Three-Layer Technology Accelerates Drip-Irrigation Performance

Posted by guilltool on October 11, 2011 in Agriculture and Horticulture, Series, Uncategorized

Controls Precision Water and Fertilizer Use – Protects The Environment

Guill Tool & Engineering is dramatically changing the agricultural and horticultural landscape with their new advanced tooling that utilizes three layers to produce the necessary tubing for efficient and environmentally safe drip irrigation.

How It Works
The head/die engineering utilizes a spiral flow that handles three layers. Prior to this advancement, only two layers were common. One of the key benefits of this tooling is that it allows an inexpensive regrind polymer, or most any type of polymer, to be the bulk of the material inside the tube, hose or pipe.

The new drip irrigation crosshead/die is designed to produce a tube that uses an ABA, ABC or virtually any type of three-layer construction. In this application, the inner layer is composed of a majority of a less expensive regrind material (or any polymer desired) and is typically surrounded by a very thin layer of virgin polymer, often times only 1/1000th (.0001) of an inch (.00254 mm) or less.

With Guill’s patented flow design, the walls of the tubing require less polymer material to achieve the desired or mandated tube-burst strength requirements, saving money for the drip-irrigation user.

Doubled-Headed Tooling System Expands Extrusion Output by 40%-50% vs. Single-Head Systems

Posted by guilltool on August 15, 2011 in Industrial, Medical, Series, Uncategorized

 DualFlo™ System Yields Bottom-Line Capital, Labor and Material Savings;
Can Be Adapted By Virtually Any Extruder

West Warwick, RI – A new two-headed extrusion tooling system from Guill Tool & Engineering Co. is 40%-50% more productive in manufacturing rubber or silicone end products than conventional single-head systems.

Guill’s new DualFlo™ system employs two identical heads joined by a specially designed metering valve to transform a single extruding machine into one with dual output. This results in bottom line savings in reduced capital costs, labor operating costs, and material costs as well.

With the DualFlo’s special engineering a multi-layer and multi-stripe capability are standard. And, virtually any existing extruder layout can be configured to accommodate this new system.

“We designed the DualFlo to enhance extrusion productivity while meeting the particular needs of OEM and medical tubing manufacturers – who must produce precision tubes with precise diameter and wall thicknesses for today’s advanced technology applications,” said Bill Conley, Guill’s sales manager. “In addition to these precision capabilities, our customers are delighted with the savings on labor, equipment and material compounds.”
