New Product Launches
Bio Tube Applicator™
The new Bio Tube Applicator tube to hose barb assembly machine allows effortless insertion of connectors into a wide variety of tubing, including silicone and thermoplastic elastomers. Union of the tube and connectors is completed without damage to the internal bore of the tube, and importantly, without lubrication such as IPA.
