Custom Die Design is used for all pleating dies in the VS balloon wrapper. The customer is provided with a table to fill in the details of a balloon range, such as distal seal diameter, double wall thickness, inflated diameter, and desired number of wings. One or more stainless steel die sets are then designed to accommodate the largest end of the range. All dies are hardened and electropolished.
A product carrier on a manually-powered linear slide holds the catheter and allows the operator to quickly align the balloon catheter to control which parts of the product are pleated and compressed.
The operator console for the VS balloon wrapping machine is intended to be direct and easy to use. You will find controls for all aspects of the process, including balloon pressure, vacuum on/off, station temperature, and compression station pressure.
- Most accurate pleating geometry
- Up to 100 psi balloon pressure, 100 C temperature
- Capable of large diameters, long lengths

The model VS balloon wrapper is a simplified version of the VC balloon wrapper. Processes that are optimized on the VS machine can be directly transferred into recipe-driven settings on the VC machine, if desired, to obtain the same results. All pleating and compression stations are interchangeable between VC and VS machines.
