Yellow Jacket Line Product Overview by Process Type

In addition to the complete line of Wayne Yellow Jacket extruders from 1/4" to 6" for applications from under 1 lb./hour up to 2000 lbs./hour, Wayne manufactures a complete line of dies and downstream equipment for all different types of extrusion processes. This list describes the processes which can be performed by Wayne Yellow Jacket plastic extrusion machinery and what we specifically offer for each. Of course, we offer individual components such as a die or a takeoff in addition to offering integrated systems which consist of an extruder and downstream equipment. For customers who prefer them, we also offer complete turnkey systems with performance guarantee and start-up assistance with on site maintenance.

Tubing

Medical and Industrial tubing of all kinds can be made on Wayne Tubing Production Systems. We commonly produce single lumen, multi-lumen, coex stripe, coex multilayer, taper and bump tubing on Wayne systems. Full blown control systems with laser and ultrasonic control including Statistical Process Control are available. Complete PLC based line control is available for recipie storage and data acquisition. High accuracy is maintained by using precision servo drives to make the tightest tolerance tubing possible!
