Sector solution / Medical devices
Medical-device manufacturing — catheters, cannulae, IV sets — combines polymer extrusion and moulding with clean assembly, and vacuum runs through much of it.
CTXWhat this sector runs
Device extrusion and moulding use vacuum for tube calibration and for holding parts, while packing lines use vacuum to form and seal sterile-barrier packs. Because devices are class-clean products, the vacuum source must be oil-free so nothing migrates onto surfaces that will contact patients.
Extrusion cooling and general process air add centrifugal duties, and cleanroom utilities add clean air handling. Reading the plant as oil-free vacuum for moulding and packing plus clean cooling air is the recommended structure for a device works.
REQTypical duty requirements
Vacuum & air on a medical-device line
| Process | Requirement | Recommended class |
|---|---|---|
| Tube calibration vacuum | Oil-free, steady | Dry vacuum pump |
| Moulding hold-down | Clean vacuum | Dry vacuum pump |
| Sterile-pack forming | Sealing vacuum | Dry vacuum pump |
| Extrusion cooling | Process air | CX centrifugal |
ENGEngineering notes
Tube calibration draws the extrudate against a sizing sleeve under vacuum in a cooling bath, and that vacuum touches the surface that becomes a patient-contact device. It has to be oil-free and steady, because the vacuum level helps set the tube's final dimensions. A dry YBDVP source holds calibration vacuum constant through the bath without any oil path to the product, which is exactly what a device line needs from grip to gauge.
Device extrusion cools on clean centrifugal air, kept oil-free so nothing settles on surfaces heading toward sterile assembly. The cooling has to be steady to hold tube gauge at line speed, which is a balanced-blower duty. Specifying the cooling airflow and choosing an oil-free CX machine keeps the extrusion section both dimensionally consistent and contamination-free, complementing the calibration vacuum rather than competing with it.
Medical-device manufacturing holds class-clean standards, and those standards extend to the vacuum and air machinery that touches the process. Oil-free construction removes the contamination mechanism at source, but consistency matters too: a device line cannot afford a supply-driven substitution that changes the machine's behaviour mid-campaign. A stable domestic manufacturer, building the same oil-free dry pumps year after year under one quality system, keeps the vacuum source predictable — and keeps validation and change-control events rare. For a plant whose product ends up inside a patient, that predictability in the support equipment is as valuable as the cleanliness itself.
SOLRecommended Yash families

Oil-free vacuum for calibration, moulding and sterile-pack forming.
02 / Family
Clean cooling air for extrusion and process lines.
Poly Medicure is a valued customer of Yash Blowers. Product recommendations on this page describe our standard solutions for the pharmaceutical & medical sector, not that company's specific installations.
WHYWhy Yash Blowers
Device makers hold class-clean standards, so their vacuum has to be oil-free and their support responsive. Yash Blowers has built oil-free dry pumps in Faridabad since 1998 under ISO 9001:2015, casts and balances impellers in-house, and dispatches 300+ machines a day — keeping clean vacuum and its spares on an Indian chain.
FAQFrequently asked questions
Because calibration vacuum contacts the tube surface that becomes a patient-contact device. An oil-free YBDVP source keeps that surface free of any oil residue through the calibration bath.
Clean centrifugal process air. The CX series delivers steady cooling air for the extrusion and calibration section without introducing oil near the product.
Often the duties are zoned rather than shared, so a fault on one line does not pull down another. Both are oil-free, moderate-vacuum duties well suited to the YBDVP class, but the recommendation is to size each zone to its own draw and keep them independent — protecting the whole device floor from a single point of failure.
