Butyrate Aging

The use of transparent tubing in pneumatic conveying systems for paper cups offers numerous advantages, particularly in terms of visibility. Clear tubing allows for easy monitoring and inspection of the conveyed cups throughout the entire process. The transparency of...

Special Extrusions

We received a request for a Tritan oval tube that would be used as a robotic casing. The challenge was that the tube had to fit within the wall grooves of a machined cap. Rectangular tubing, due to the extrusion process can develop stresses along its major axis....

Butyrate Tubing Clarity And Toughness

Butyrate tubing (CAB) is known for its toughness, but when properly extruded it can compete even with cast acrylic in clarity. At Busada, we cater to the small order; we run in small lots and low screw speeds. Quality matters here, not throughput. We recently sent a...

Snowmetrics Snowboard Equipment

SnowMetrics has been using Busada Tubing for decades. They choose our sampler tubes for wall thickness and diameter accuracy. They specify butyrate tubing for its enhanced properties of toughness, weatherability, and shatter resistance. Tubes are 12″ in length...

Provista Uvo For Coffee

We are delighted to be supplying The Roasting Place with its new line of Provista (PETG) tubing. Their design team has been searching for a more aesthetic and functional tube for their coffee-bean pneumatic transport. Provista UVO not only has FDA, but NSF compliance,...

Now That’s a Tube

We are often approached for heavy-walled tubing in CAB (butyrate), PETG, and Tritan up to 1/2″ in thickness: no problem. We have extruded a 3″ OD Butyrate tube with a .625″ a specialty product for. S. King Fulton Corp. They chose Busada butyrate...

Space Station Bend

Do you need an off-the-charts bend of transparent tubing? How about a 14° 200″ R (no tangents)? We received an interesting call this week. A school is preparing a model of a space station to be displayed at NASA. Our little part in this was to scale down a 12 ft...

Forty Years of Vibracore Sample Tubing

For decades, Busada has been extruding sample core tubing for oceanographic research; and off-shore bottom sampling in the search for submerged oil reserves. The clear tubing may be removed intact from the pipe, preserving the original spatial relations of the sample...
