COBRA Dry Screw Vacuum Technology for Manufacturing High Quality Rubber Medical Device Components
Busch Vacuum Pumps and Systems COBRA Dry Screw Vacuum Technology for Manufacturing High Quality Rubber Medical Device Components Montegaldella, Italy, 1/22/16 - Datwyler Pharma Packaging Italy Srl. manufactures rubber components for medical equipment. Vacuum is necessary for the process in order to exclude air bubbles from the finished component and to remove vapor generated by high temperature and pressure. The molding machines were originally equipped with oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps. However, this resulted in a reaction between oil in the vacuum pump and process vapor, causing emulsions and greasy deposits to accumulate in the vacuum pumps. Datwyler’s thermoforming machines now rely on dry screw vacuum technology by Busch, solving the problem of a reaction with operating flu
