Novoplast Schlauchtechnik has been developing and producing thermoplastic tubes and connection solutions for industrial and medical applications for 30 years. The foundation stone was laid in Halberstadt in 1990 and the company was officially founded shortly afterwards - initially as a sales organization of the Masterflex Group for Eastern Germany. Just two years later, the first extruder was delivered to the company premises and the production of industrial tubes and connection solutions began.
It was the beginning of a success story
Started in 1990 by Karl-Heinz Prüfer and Fred Liebzeit as a sales branch of the Masterflex Group for Eastern Germany, we now have more than 100 employees and our own development, production and sales departments.
Our machinery comprises a total of 23 extrusion lines (13 for industrial production and 10 for the medical technology sector). We offer clean room production of ISO classes 6 to 8 and develop customer-specific tube solutions.
Within the Masterflex Group, we are the specialist for extruded tubes and profiles. During extrusion, plastics are continuously melted and pressed out of a shaping opening under pressure. Brake or pneumatic tubes produced by extrusion are used in areas such as automotive or mechanical engineering.
Extruded tubes are also used extensively in the medical sector. The manufacturing process is similar to that of industrial production - however, very special plastics are extruded here under strict regulatory and procedural requirements in clean rooms of ISO classes 6, 7 and 8.
Today we produce approx. 120 million meters of tube per year, process approx. 300 materials and are certified according to are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN 13485, DIN ISO 14001 and DIN ISO 50001.
Our products include high-quality tubes and connection solutions for industrial and medical technology applications:
Industry: XFlame®, PA DUOPART®, pneumatic, molded, insulating, braking and profile hoses, spirals, round and hollow belts.
Medical sector: Monolumen-, multilumen, multilayer, double tube and co-extrusion for infusion, nutrition, angiography, urology, endoscopy, cardiology, dialysis, surgery, oncology, drainage etc.
Product highlights from 30 years of Novoplast Schlauchtechnik
Hytrel® TPEE solid profiles with diameters from 10 to 16 mm for air conditioning hoses
What sounds simple was a major challenge in terms of the desired properties: the right ovality, a smooth and waveless surface, avoidance of cavities and dimensional stability. By adapting the mold in the injection head and cooling basin accordingly, we have developed a suitable and economically successful product.
Polyamide 12 tube sections for clutch lines
We have produced tubes in the dimensions 3.5 x 2.25 x 8 mm from black heat and UV-stabilized polyamide 12 for various automotive manufacturers, which have been used for clutch lines. Here, too, we were able to successfully meet the high requirements for dimensional accuracy and clean cut edges.
Polyurethane tubing for transfer systems for enteral feeding
We produced polyurethane tubing for our first medical technology customer back in the mid-1990s, which was used for transfer systems in enteral nutrition. For this purpose, a production line in the industrial manufacturing area was initially equipped with a laminar flow box in order to meet the requirements regarding particulate contamination. In addition to the standard dimensions in 3 x 4.1 mm in natural, blue and yellow, other tubes such as X-ray contrast TPU tubes in the diameter range 1.65-4.80 mm (5-14 French) or co-extruded tubes (X-ray contrast strips, 2-/3-layer) for feeding tubes were produced over a longer period of time.
Antimicrobial tubes for ventricular catheters
We have been producing tubes made of high-quality, thermo-sensitive and anti-microbial polyurethane for 15 years now. These are processed into so-called ventricular catheters, which are used for the permanent drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (body fluid), e.g. in patients with craniocerebral trauma and/or excessive cerebrospinal fluid or intracranial pressure. These catheters are considered implants under the Medical Devices Act (and in future also under the MDR).
TPEE and PA12w tube for seat adjusters in cars
We have also been manufacturing this product line for many years in the field of industrial production. These are tubes sections in the diameter range of approx. 5 x 8 mm. These tubes or tube sections serve as guides for shafts that control the adjustment of seats in cars. In addition to the high demands on dimensional stability, acoustic properties must also be fulfilled here.
