Balloon Folding and Pleating

MPT Europe BV offers a wide range of balloon pleating and folding equipment. Depending on your needs, we will select the most feasible option for you. Ranging from manual PT-series balloon pleaters to fully automated PTF-Series balloon pleating and folding machines.

The PTF-type balloon pleating and folding machines are capable of pleating and folding balloons up to 300 mm. For the longer balloons, we offer automated tensioning systems (i.e. PTF-240-T). These tensioning systems keep the inner bodies straight and tensioned during pleating and folding, resulting in the precise folding of long balloons.

Heated pleating blades are optional. This feature allows the temperature of each blade to be controlled independently. The fold pleating modules can be quickly exchanged for 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10 fold pleats. The machines are fitted with a unique product clamp system that allows processing of balloon components and finished products without changing the setup. The PTF-type machines have position and force-controlled folding heads with Medical Production Technology Europe BV zero-gap technology.

The latest developments include fully film-protected systems where the balloons do not come into contact with the blades directly but are always protected with a very thin foil.

“Medical Production Technologies are the best medical device machine designers and builders of custom equipment that I am aware of. They really know how to translate technical challenges into reliable equipment and stable processes.”

“Medical Production Technologies were recommended to us when we were looking to automatise processes, to enable us to produce our medical implants in a more controlled way. Medical Production Technologies have always been very reactive and helpful. We were immediately very impressed with their technical knowledge and ability to understand extremely quickly our complexe processes and to bring valuable inputs into our initial design ideas. The very first meeting left us with a solid plan which was further consolidated with their help and we look forward to seeing the results.”

“Medical Production Technologies were the perfect partner for bringing in new technology for non contact measurements of our silicone parts. They provided the technical expertise and guidance and really took the time needed to explore best options for us. With our new measurement system in place, we have the ability in house to measure accurately without operator intervention.”

“About 5 yrs ago at my previous employer I came in touch with Medical Production Technologies. We needed to solve a bonding issue for our catheter. Medical Production Technologies were able to offer their expertise and and provide great testing service which enabled us to solve our bonding issue using their equipment. Now, with BBraun Melsungen AG, I enlisted their help again when I recognised the need for new equipment that would allow our processes to be less operator dependant.”

“Setting up my own business Medical Production Technologies has been a great support as far as getting equipment in place. The service and flexibility from their end have been superb. Also as a consultant they offer great value and process insight. I am really happy with them.”
