Key Components and Process

The extrusion process is the core of the medical infusion bag film production, determining the film's thickness uniformity, transparency, mechanical properties, and medical safety. Below is a detailed introduction to the extrusion process, including equipment selection, process parameters, and key control points.  


I. Extrusion Process Principles  
The extrusion process involves melting PVC or EVA granules (or powder) under high temperature and pressure, continuously and uniformly feeding the melt through an extruder, and shaping it into a film using a T-die (for cast film) or a blown film die. The film is then cooled, solidified, and processed into a medical-grade infusion bag film.  


II. Key Components of the Extrusion System

1. Feeding System  
Function: Provides a stable supply of raw materials to the extruder.  
Equipment:  
  Automatic vacuum feeder: Ensures continuous feeding and prevents contamination.  
  Drying system (for EVA): EVA has high moisture content and must be pre-dried at 60-80°C for 3-4 hours to prevent bubbles and surface defects.  

2. Extruder

(1) Screw Design
PVC Extrusion (Single-Screw Extruder): 
  PVC is heat-sensitive and requires a single-screw extruder with an L/D ratio of 25:1-30:1. The screw design should include a long metering section to ensure stable plasticization and material conveyance.  
  Low-temperature plasticization is necessary to prevent degradation, and venting ports & melt filters are recommended to remove volatiles.  

EVA Extrusion (Twin-Screw Extruder):  
  EVA has poor plasticization properties and requires a high-shear twin-screw extruder to ensure uniform melting and prevent decomposition.  
  Co-rotating twin-screw extruder (L/D ≥ 30:1) is recommended for efficient plasticization.  

(2) Temperature Control 
PVC:150-180°C (must be increased gradually to avoid degradation).  
EVA:160-200°C (avoiding excessive heat that may cause cross-linking).  
Temperature Zones:Low temperature at the hopper → Increased temperature in the compression zone → Maximum temperature in the metering zone for even melting.  

(3) Extrusion Pressure & Flow Rate Control
Melt pressure sensors (20-40 MPa) ensure stable extrusion.  
Melt pump for precise flow control, improving film thickness uniformity.  

3. Melt Filtration System 
Function: Removes impurities and unmelted particles to ensure film quality.  
Equipment: 
 Dual-station screen changer (200-400 mesh stainless steel filter) for continuous operation without stopping production.  

4. Extrusion Die (T-Die for Cast Film) 
Function: Distributes the melt uniformly to form a film with precise thickness and width.  
Key Points:  
  Flow Channel Design: Uses a "coat-hanger" flow channel to ensure uniform melt flow.  
  Heating Control: Die temperature typically 160-200°C to prevent clogging or degradation.  
  Lip Gap Adjustment: Controls film thickness (typically 0.2-1.0 mm, adjustable).  
  Automatic Profile Control (APC): Advanced systems include automatic die lip adjustment for precise thickness control (±3% accuracy).  


III. Key Control Points in the Extrusion Process  

1. Raw Material Control  
PVC requires careful control of plasticizer content (30-40%) to prevent migration.  
EVA should have minimal moisture content to avoid bubbles.
Regular melt filter changes to maintain film transparency.  

2. Temperature Control 
PVC degrades at high temperatures; a controlled heating profile is essential. 
EVA requires optimal shear heating for uniform melting. 

3. Extrusion Pressure Control 
Maintaining pressure at 20-40 MPa ensures stable extrusion.
Below 10 MPa: Poor plasticization; Above 50 MPa: Risk of shear-induced degradation.

4. Die Gap Adjustment 
Regularly inspect and adjust the die lip gap to ensure uniform film thickness. 
Use an online thickness gauge for real-time monitoring (±3% tolerance).

IV. Advanced Extrusion Technologies 

1. Co-Extrusion Technology 
Dual-layer or triple-layer co-extrusion (Co-Extrusion) improves barrier properties and heat resistance.
Typical structures:  
Dual-layer: EVA/PP (enhanced heat resistance) 
Triple-layer: EVA/PVDC/EVA (better oxygen barrier performance)  

2. Electrostatic Elimination Technology  
EVA films tend to attract dust due to static electricity; an anti-static device is recommended.  

3. Online Quality Monitoring  
Thickness gauge or X-ray thickness gauge ensures real-time thickness monitoring for consistent quality.  

V. Summary
1. PVC extrusion is best suited for single-screw extruders (L/D 25:1-30:1) with low-temperature plasticization to prevent degradation.  
2. EVA extrusion requires twin-screw extruders (L/D ≥ 30:1) with high shear to ensure uniform melting.  
3. Temperature must be precisely controlled (PVC: 150-180°C, EVA: 160-200°C) to prevent degradation or bubble defects. 
4. A coat-hanger flow channel design and adjustable die lips ensure uniform film thickness. 
5. Advanced extrusion systems incorporate Automatic Profile Control (APC), melt pumps, and online monitoring for high-quality film production.
6. Co-extrusion technology enhances barrier properties and heat resistance, making it suitable for advanced medical applications.
