Melt Pressure Transducer
The melt pressure transducer is a type of sensor used in the plastic and polymer processing industry. It is designed to measure the pressure of plastic or polymer materials in the melt state. These devices are especially important in extrusion, injection molding and other thermoplastic processing processes.
Working Principle
A melt pressure transducer usually detects pressure with the help of a diaphragm or piezoelectric material.
The diaphragm is deformed by the effect of pressure and this deformation is converted into an electrical signal.
The resulting electrical signal represents the magnitude of the pressure.
Areas of Use
Extrusion Systems: To control the melt flow in continuous production.
Injection Molding: To optimize the pressure in the mold and obtain quality products.
Blown Film Production: To control film thickness and material properties.
Advantages
Precision Measurement: Can detect small pressure changes.
Durability: Resistant to high temperatures and corrosive materials.
Process Control: Provides constant quality in the production process.
Things to Consider
Compatible with high temperatures.
Made of wear and corrosion resistant material.
Regular calibration.
If it will be used in a production line, it may be useful to get technical support to choose a model that suits your system requirements.
