Healthcare
Rondol offers the Healthcare Industry (Pharmaceutical, MedTech and Medical Devices) an unsurpassed range of machines and ancillary equipment for compounding, compression, extrusion, mixing and moulding. These enable greater choice and precision of materials content (including use of high temperature and bio- polymers), savings in valuable additives, design flexibility and ease of fabrication for pharmaceutical drug delivery, medical devices and surgical instruments. Machines are available to GMP and CE standards, with full service and support. A comprehensive range of ancillary equipment extends capabilities, and data acquisition for statistical process control maximises productivity. Flexible configurations and systems can also be designed and manufactured to your requirements.
Our Twin Screw Compounders can be reconfigured to a specific Healthcare Industry application by selecting various kneading, mixing, and shear screw elements, and ancillary equipment options. For example:
• Melt or wet extrusion to incorporate a wide variety of controlled release drugs in solid dosage forms with high levels of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
• Feed-dosing of different additives (liquid or solid) to provide continuous mixing, and to prepare hybrid polymer materials by reactive extrusion or polymer alloying.
• Chaotic mixing to improve dispersion and minimise risk of damage to shear or thermally sensitive nano-materials and APIs.
Rondol PASS (Process Analysis & Simulation Software) for Rondol Twin Screw Compounders enables users to:
• Optimise and test mix efficiency, screw configuration, operating settings, chemical reaction and product quality.
• Save valuable materials and time.
Rondol Single Screw Extruders combine high production capabilities, energy efficiency and ease of use with compact size and are well suited to a wide range of polymers and processing applications. For example:
• Production of medical catheters, multi-lumen tubing, micro-tubing, and cast and blown films.
• Making solid dosage forms as dense granules with minimum amounts of excipients.
Rondol Compression Moulding Machines extend fabrication possibilities, and provide precision, durability and versatility in density and porosity control, with tooling and options designed to meet customer needs. Applications include:
• Orthopaedic and other implants, medical devices and components from compression mouldable materials, including silicone rubber, thermoplastics, ceramics, PVA.
• Cost-effective compression moulding of samples for product development to high volume production.
Rondol Injection Moulding Machines are perfect for laboratory, batch and mass production of small medical components in a clean room environment. Applications include:
• Medical components likely to come in contact with human or animal tissue or body fluid, including medical implants, clips and device components, blood sepaation systems, bearing caps, plugs, valves, pump fittings, syringes and surgical instruments.
• Cost-effective single shot to high volume moulding of medical grade materials.
The ruggedly built benchtop, variable speed Two-Roll Mills are used in the Healthcare Industry for mixing and calendaring. Applications include:
• Preparation of medical grade materials, including silicone, rubbers and fluoroelastomers.
• Mixing of resin compositions, while ensuring good dispersion of the additives.
The MiniMix is a versatile, high speed Laboratory Mixer. Stainless bowls are interchangeable and ensure corrosion resistance and productivity. Applications include:
• Premixing of powders, granules and liquids.
• Recommended general tool for all polymer processing laboratories.
