PCL Thermoplastic Splint Sheet Extrusion Line for Medical Applications – Yunnan, China

Project Overview

We provided a complete turnkey PCL sheet production solution for our customer in Yunnan, China. This production line is specifically designed to manufacture low-temperature PCL sheets with a width of 600mm and a thickness range of 2mm to 6mm. These sheets are primarily used in high-value medical applications, including orthopedic positioning plates (orthoses), radiotherapy body membranes, and other low-temperature thermoplastic medical devices.

Equipment Specifications

Sheet Width: 600mm

Thickness Range: 2mm – 6mm

Material: PCL (Polycaprolactone) – low-temperature thermoplastic

Applications: Orthopedic positioning plates, radiotherapy body membranes, and other medical fixation devices

Project Scope of Work

Our involvement went far beyond equipment manufacturing. We provided a comprehensive, end-to-end solution covering equipment, process technology, material formulations, and full technical support:

Technical Communication and Application Understanding – We conducted detailed technical discussions to thoroughly understand the customer's end-product applications and medical industry requirements, ensuring our design met the highest quality standards.

Customized Equipment and Factory Layout Design Guidance – We custom-designed the equipment to meet the customer's specific output and quality requirements, and provided professional guidance on factory floor layout to optimize production efficiency.

Process Technology Design and Equipment Development – We developed the complete PCL sheet extrusion process technology and manufactured all core equipment to ensure stable operation, precise thickness control, and consistent sheet quality.

R&D and Manufacturing of Recycling Water Treatment Equipment – We designed and built a water treatment system for process water recycling, supporting the customer's environmental compliance and cost-reduction goals.

Waste Plastic Recycling System – We supplied a waste recycling system that allows the customer to reprocess in-house production scrap, significantly reducing material waste and improving overall efficiency.

Equipment Acceptance, Trial Operation, Packing, and Logistics – We conducted thorough equipment testing and acceptance, performed trial runs to verify performance, professionally packed all components, and managed container loading and cargo transportation to Yunnan.

On-Site Installation and Commissioning – We dispatched our experienced engineers to the customer's site in Yunnan to supervise installation, perform equipment debugging, and ensure full operational readiness.

Complete Upstream and Downstream Equipment Supply – Beyond the extrusion line itself, we also provided all auxiliary equipment, including punching machines, surface spraying equipment, raw material recycling equipment, punching equipment, and laser cutting equipment — offering a truly integrated production solution.

Production Process and Technical Services – We went a step further by providing comprehensive technical support, including:

Raw material formulation and compounding guidance

Surface anti-stick and antibacterial solution process formula

Radiation technology guidance for medical-grade sheet production

Outcome

This integrated project has been successfully commissioned and is now producing high-quality low-temperature PCL sheets for medical applications. By combining advanced equipment with proprietary process technology and material formulations, we enabled our customer to enter the medical-grade sheet market with a competitive edge. Our holistic approach — from equipment to formulation to after-sales support — ensured a smooth project execution and a fully satisfied customer.
