Silicone foley catheter project in Indonesia

2.Manufacturing machine installation 

After the machines arrived customer’s factories, we dispatched our technicians to their factories and helped them to set up air and water channel. Installed machines like silicone tube extruder machine, silicone mix machine, silicone injection molding machine, vulcanizer, printing machine, related mold, etc.

3.Meeting for machines training

Our technicians holding meeting to share the machines operation skill and standard documents to guide employees how to use and operate the machines well, how to assemble the component, how to test and pack the finished products at the end. It is the best and quick way to train employees on site. Under the situation of COVID-19, we can provide online training meeting, send machine operation videos, more other information to help customer to build their production line.

4.Mixing silicone raw material 

The tube body and balloon should made by solid silicone, so we have to mix silicone for production, brands can choose Dow Corning/Wacker/Wynca/Square. Y connector raw material can choose liquid silicone for production, no need to mix before use.

5.Produce silicone tube by extruder 

Setting the tube length by machine and pour the raw material inside. Machine will push the silicone material to move forward, during the forward movement, the silicone material is compacted, heating, plasticizing and then the silicone material from the head mold to a certain shape extrusion.

6.Produce silicone balloon by vulcanizer

Silicone balloon made by press vulcanizer and mold, this machine is se-mi automatic, after the balloon finish, employee use hand blower gun to clean the impurities and take out the balloon.

7.Vulcanization of Y head for silicone foley catheter

Connect the Y head with tube body by silicone injection molding machine, make it more solid and not easy to broken.

8.Assemble silicone balloon on the tube 

Prepare the finished silicone balloon, and assemble it by glue manually.

9.Printing related information on the Y connector or tube body

Customer can set the printing information by themselves and print on Y connector or tube body by printing machine. Mostly, we will print size, capacity, company logo, etc.

10.Assemble check valve and color code 

Use glue to assemble check valve and color code, in the initial stage, these components can purchase from us, that can relieve production pressure and cost. After familiar with the whole process of silicone foley catheter production line, we can help to assist with component production.

11.Finished products test and inspection 

Inflate air into the balloon, and place for 24 hours to check the shape, appearance and performance.

12.Finished products package 

After finished products done, we can start the package. First of package the product into the inner EVA bag, it can reduce the dust. After that, place into the middle box, carton and arrange sterilization.
