Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pressure in the extruder head?

Pressure at the extruder head varies by application, but for free extrusion of plastic tubing, the internal air support pressure is typically ultra-low — ranging from below 1 inch of water up to 0-5 psi. MicroAir regulators are specifically designed to control these very low pressure ranges with high precision and stability, ensuring consistent tubing diameter and wall structure.
