Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MicroAir Regulator and how does it work in wire jacketing extrusion?

A MicroAir Regulator is an ultra-low air pressure regulator that controls internal air pressure during the free extrusion of plastic tubing and wire jacketing. It precisely maintains a set pressure point inside the extruded tube to control the outside diameter, using hysteresis-free regulating action and viscostatic damping for stable, repeatable results.
