Manufacturing process
- Procure and store PVC DEHP-free pellets in a clean environment.
- Feed pellets into the extruder hopper to melt the material through barrel heating and screw rotation.
- Force the molten polymer through a circular die into the film blowing machine, injecting air to expand the film into a bubble.
- Cool, solidify, and roll the blown PVC films.
- Feed the PVC blown film into a cutting machine to cut sheets to desired bag dimensions.
- Position PVC tubing using profile dies and weld the PVC films into the final bag shape using a PVC welding machine, trimming excess edges.
- Sterilize the finished blood bags using high-pressure steam in an autoclave.
- Conduct quality testing for seal integrity, low-temperature resistance, and sterility before packaging and dispatch.
