Melt Pressure Sensor Applications for Cable Extruder

 

The extrusion process is a plastics processing process that consists of melting polymeric (plastic) materials and ejecting them from a fixed mold under certain pressure. In the extrusion process; It is possible to obtain products of infinite length with constant cross-sectional dimensions. The products of the desired length are cut as a result of the extrusion process and made ready for use. Cable and Wire Coating can be done.

 

Extrusion Machines (Extruder) Plastic materials granules, burrs, fractures, dust, etc. The machines that are fed as a fixed cross section and ensure the creation of a product with a fixed cross section are called extruders. They differ according to the needs of the users (capacity, melt quality, raw materials used, additives used, reinforcing materials, etc.), they are designed according to needs or the most appropriate selections are made.

 

General Parts;

 

Extruder, metering pumps, die assembly, web formation and take-up reel system.

 

Working Principle;

 

Plastic materials to be processed can be granules, burrs, fractures, dust, etc. It is fed to the extruder with the help of a funnel. The motor system on the machine is responsible for producing the energy required for propulsion. The transmission required for this drive produced by the motor to rotate the screw is made with the help of a reducer. The screw system, which rotates with the drive from the motor and reducer, drags the raw materials poured into the hive forward by means of the funnel. Here, it is ensured that the plastic raw material is completely melted by passing through the feeding, melting and compression zones, respectively, and the extruder machine completes its function by being taken out of the mold. With the help of the resistance and fans attached to the hive, the temperature of the hive is optimized for the best melting of the plastic material. The parameters to be adjusted during the process are; screw speed, temperature adjustments etc. operations are carried out with the help of the control unit.

 

What is a Melt Pressure Sensor?

 

Melt Pressure Sensor is an instrument used to measure the pressure and temperature of melted liquids (optional) in processes where plastic raw materials can reach high temperatures.

 

Why is a Melt Pressure Sensor Necessary?

 

Almost all extruders use at least one melt pressure transducer because it is desirable for melt pressure/temperature control to improve the quality of the extrusion process.

 

* Safety,

 

* Equipment Protection,

 

* Higher Efficiency,

 

* Higher Product Quality.
