Semi automatic assembly machines over #Endotracheal tube, feeding tube, suction catheter and other similar PVC catheters play an increasingly prominent role in setting up economic manufacturing line. Though most people pursue higher-level and more automation to achieve higher production capacity with less labor, semi automation is an essential step for startups to strive to shape its development paradigm of extending portfolio. The manufacturing set up requires comprehensive technical transfer and consistent R&D support before achieving robust, balanced, sustainable and inclusive growth from the marketing.
RELEVANT MACHINES:
#1 High frequency catheter tipping machine #JVTF23 is designed for trimming various tubes or catheters' head so the tubes or catheters function safely and comfortably. Featured by quality fittings imported by Japan and Europe, and strong Aluminum alloy and stainless steel casings, the tipping machine is able to work efficiently with very low failure rate. Water chilling system is needed during tipping process and a small chiller is proposed.
Smooth and precise tip forming of various medical tubes and catheters is performed by the #JVTF23 tube tipping machine, ensuring patient comfort and clinical safety during insertion. High operational stability and minimal breakdown rates are maintained through the incorporation of premium components sourced from Japan and Europe, housed within a robust aluminum alloy and stainless steel structure. Thermal management during the tipping process is handled via an integrated liquid cooling circuit, for which a compact industrial chiller is recommended.
#2 Cuff fixing machine: rapid placement and precise positioning of cuffs are enabled through the application of a small drop of ethanol as a lubricant, preventing material damage during assembly. Both PVC and Polyurethane (PU) cuffs are accommodated by the HJMED cuff/balloon loading machine.
Assembly processs:
The work surface is sanitized using an approved disinfectant.
Base endotracheal tubes and corresponding cuffs are prepared for assembly.
A single cuff is loaded onto the three-jaw mechanical expander.
Pneumatic expansion of the cuff is initiated, and the base tube is inserted through the expanded sleeve.
#3 Cuff bonding machineutilizes advanced thermoplastic heating technology to ensure uniform, high-precision bonding between PVC/TPU cuffs and main endotracheal tubings. Controlled via an intuitive Mitsubishi PLC touchscreen interface, the unit guarantees reliable processing for endotracheal tubes (ETT) ranging from ID 2.0 mm to 10.0 mm. Built with a durable SUS 304-2B stainless steel and aluminum alloy casing, it includes quick-connect pneumatic fittings for streamlined operational setup.
Because incoming tubings and cuffs must comply with international medical standards, clients are requested to submit sizing charts or technical drawings to HJMED's technical team prior to ordering to verify compatibility or arrange custom tooling. Every machine includes standard bonding fittings for ETT sizes #5.0 through #10.0 in 0.5 mm increments.
Manufacturing machines & tooling regarding catheter/cannula cutting, tipping, printing, bending, packaging are optional; please feel free to contact HJMED export team should praticable MFG solution proposal is needed for your own medical/surgical disposables. In HJMED, components or semi-finished products are also provided to help customers with fast set up and portfolio expansion.
