Services

In-House Machine Shop

A.P Extrusion offers quick turnaround times. With our In-House Machine Shop, we can significantly reduce the lead times to our customers.

We avoid outsourcing for extrusion tools and dies, which in some cases can take several iterations. A.P. Extrusion offers “on the fly” changes to tooling design to help expedite your project. Because our tooling is made in-house, many single lumen extrusions do not require an engineering charge.

Free Samples

A.P Extrusion wants you to feel confident that your project will exceed expectations. We can provide free samples on request that are similar to the dimensional and material needs of your project. This allows us to narrow down a size and material selection to ensure your project stays on time and on budget.

Custom Extrusions

A.P Extrusion offers custom polymer extrusions in sizes from 0.002" to 0.500”. Single or multi-lumen extruded tubing is available. We can also customize extruded profiles, striped tubing, co-extrusions, and micro-extrusions.

Our products can be spooled or cut to length to meet your applications requirements. Most thermoplastics and custom compounds extruded at AP with wall tolerances as tight as 0.00025".

Quality

During manufacturing we monitor all process parameters to ensure dimensional stability. In-line non-contact laser micrometers and ultrasonic gages are used and are the most efficient means of quality control to continuously monitor our extrusion processes.

We use state of the art precision vision measuring systems during manufacturing inspection and in our QC/QA lab during final inspection. Benefits to tight process control are excellent quality, reduced waste, faster startup and best prices for our customers. We have a highly trained staff and are ISO 9001-2015 Certified. A Certificate of Conformance provided for each manufacturing lot.

IQ, OQ & PQ available upon request. AA (Acceptance Activities) and R&R gage studies are also available upon request. Let us know if you need a PPAP!

Markets

Medical

Extruded tubing serves multiple purposes in the medical industry. Most transfer tubing requires high-grade medical polymers that are required for transfer of medication, air, and water through catheters. Our experience with medical extrusion has been one of our greatest strengths since our founding.

Aero

In the Aero industry, plastic tubing is used for a variety of fluid transfers. It is also essential for the coating of sensitive electronic components.

Automotive

Extruded tubing is used in essential sectors such as the automotive industry. Its uses include coating for sensitive electrical wires as well as carrying brake fluid, steering fluid and coolant.

Pharma

Most medications dispensed by a medical device require very precise doses at very carefully controlled speeds. For that reason, having the appropriate size and configuration of tubing is essential to the Pharma industry.

Dental

Applications for the dental industry using extruded tubing range from, 3D printing rods for implants, braces elastics, medication, suction and air distribution. Dental equipment for drilling, lighting and water flossers, utilize components made by extrusion.

Energy

Extruded plastic has always been an important element of the energy industry. The durability, flexibility, and resistance to electrical current makes it ideal for coating many wires and other sensitive components.

Telecommunications

As communication technology continues to grow, so does the need for properly insulated tubing. This is vital to the protection of the fiber optic cables to prevent data loss when carrying valuable information. Our custom extruded tubing can be color matched or striped for easy identification when multiple strands are needed for complex jobs.

Fluid Management

Our tight tolerance tubing can play a role in providing precise and consistent fluid flow for a wide range of industries. We can customize your tubing requests to the exact measurements and tolerances required for your application.

3D PRINTING

The 3D Printing market or additive manufacturing is growing exponentially. The monofilament used to print in 3D Printers, requires precision in its manufacturing process.

Inconsistent diameters, roundness and poor winding can lead to 3D printer jams. Jams can damage your equipment and cost your company time, money and filament waste. Let AP use our monofilament experience with your resin selection to get the best results from your 3D additive manufacturing application.
