INTERFACE BFM-4410 Balloon Forming Machine

The INTERFACE BFM-4410 Balloon Forming Machine x3 is designed to produce a trio of high-strength polymer balloons using a stretch, blow molding process. Balloons are formed from precision extruded balloon tubing inside a metal mold. The BFM-4410 x3 provides optimal synchronization of heating, axial stretching and internal tubing pressurization for all 3 water jacket channels producing high-quality, consistent balloons.

Confluent Medical developed a new blow-molding process to be able to form three balloons with the same high-quality results. The Confluent Medical balloon forming equipment BFM-4410 x3 has newer components and technology to allow repeatability for a trio of balloons in one forming cycle thereby reducing overall cycle and setup times.

Advancements in the balloon forming process include improved accuracy in pressure and flow rates through all three channels simultaneously resulting in consistent yields for all three formed balloons. Operators are able to setup the BFM-4410 x3 for all 3 channels and then run with the touch of a button improving efficiency and reducing set-up time.
