GENCA CROSSHEAD AND IN-LINE HEAD REFERENCE CHART FOR COMMON MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

The Reference Chart shows only the most common applications and corresponding versions of available extrusion heads. Each version has several configurations (not shown). Genca sales engineers can determine the correct configuration for your application even if it does not appear in the chart; for example, catheter tubes. Genca crossheads are available to extrude products over 20 inches (500 mm) in diameter.
