Guill Tool, the global leader in extrusion tooling, offers its Series 1000. This series of blow molding extrusion dies, features a core diameter between 8.5″ (219.5 mm) – 10″ (254.0 mm). Model 1025 uses material blends which are ideal for medical, automotive and specialty packaging.
Series 1000 is available as single layer, co-extrusion or triple extrusion. It adapts to existing extruder layout and, in most cases, accepts existing tooling. Features include fixed center or adjustable, built-in cartridge heaters, low inventory, expandable to multi-layer, heated core pin, one-piece body/flow diverter and split feed balanced flow.
Most products should be run fixed. Users need to change only one component to become fully adjustable. The cartridge heaters offer even heat for better flow and ensure there aren’t any cold spots. Low inventory produces no burning or stagnation, resulting in quick color change. Since it’s expandable to multi-layer, the crossheads run a variety of products. Benefits of the heated core pin and one-piece body/flow diverter are better temperature control and easy cleaning/quick change over, respectively. Lastly, the split feed balanced flow achieves concentric walls at all speeds.
About Guill Tool & Engineering Co.
Guill has manufactured quality products for the defense and extrusion industries since 1962. From the business’ inception, they applied the same quality standards in our extrusion division that are required by our government customers in our Guill Defense division. This, coupled with lean manufacturing are what give Guill the leading edge in extrusion tooling innovation.
Applying such quality systems in both the Guill Extrusion and Guill Defense divisions helps strengthen, support and drive end-user excellence company wide. The need for customers to remain competitive in the market can only be supported by continuous product innovation and superior engineering.
Applications for Guill’s extrusion tooling include medical tubing, multi-lumen and multi-layer, profile products, fiber optics, automotive hose & tube, industrial hose & tube, pipe, blow molding, blown film, food, packaging, pelletizing, rubber & silicone, wire & cable and wood composite.
Utilizing the latest 3D CAD/MCAD connected with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computer Flow Simulation), Guill’s engineers were first to develop the FlexiSpiral™ deflector, the patented FeatherTouch™ die adjusting system for 100% concentricity control and the SealRight™ feature. Guill’s engineers have also developed a QuickChange manifold for rapid change of color and/or material.
Guill has been an ISO 9001 facility since 1995. The ISO 9001:2015 guides the work processes at every level. Guill is dedicated to a continuous quality improvement process.
