Inquiry (采购产品): Covidien Healthcare, Athlone Ireland Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Jonathan Glancy. I am a Process & Project Engineer working with US Medical device manufacturer Covidien Healthcare (formally Tyco Healthcare). I work in their manufacturing facility in Athlone, Ireland. I am looking to replace a semi-automated continuous oven-chiller that we use here. The replacement oven-chiller will be fully automated and required a high level of customisation to fit our process and we will be looking for the supplier to carry this out. The customisation will primarily be around the loading, unloading and shaping of the tubes. A brief outline of the requirements is for the oven are: The purpose of the oven-chiller is to bake straight Reinforced Endotracheal tubes (PVC tubes containing a metal coil) into a specific curved profile. The current equipment consists of: An oven unit to heat the tubes to a temperature of 160C for up to 20 minutes. (Temperatures and times will vary depending on product type.) A Chiller unit to cool the tubes to room temperature prior to unload. A load and unload station (where the tube is orientated). A conveyance system to transport the tubes through the oven and chiller. Moulds/mandrels to form the tubes into shape. A station where the tube is cleaned (during the baking plasticizer from the tube leeches to the surface and this has to be removed to allow further processing). Does this type of project match your company’s core competencies/business niche? Is your company interested in investigating this project further? Best regards, Jonathan Glancy. **** Hidden Message ***** Jonathan Glancy .
