What are the critical parameters in balloon forming? The key parameters include temperature control (+/- 3°C precision for high-yield processes), pressure profile (inflation and deflation cycles), axial stretch ratio, mold clamping force, and forming time. These factors directly affect wall thickness uniformity, burst pressure, and compliance characteristics.
What heating methods are used in the balloon-forming machines? CGT-UBF-2000 uses water jacket systems for precise thermal stability.
What types of materials can be processed in the balloon-forming machine? Common materials include PET (high burst pressure), Nylon (flexible, moderate strength), Polyurethane (soft, compliant), and Pebax (elastic, varying durometers). Process parameters vary significantly based on polymer type.
What cycle time can be expected for balloon production? Production efficiency is enhanced through optimized processes and rapid cooling, with cycle times of 60-180 seconds/piece, depending on balloon sizes and material properties, and process complexity.
Can the machine integrate with MES or data logging systems? Yes, CGT-UBF-2000 systems support SCADA and MES integration, real-time process monitoring, and data storage for traceability and regulatory compliance.
