Description
Technical Description:
The Polymer Processing Micro Lines are modular, offering a range of configurations to accommodate different types of polymer processing. Typically, these systems include components for extrusion, injection molding, and sometimes film blowing or blow molding. The extrusion unit is used to form continuous polymer products, such as sheets, films, or filaments, while the injection molding unit is designed for batch production of polymer parts with complex geometries.
The system is controlled by a sophisticated digital interface that allows for precise adjustment of processing parameters like barrel temperature, screw speed, pressure, and material flow rate. Real-time data acquisition software is integrated to track and analyze key variables, providing valuable insights into the polymer’s rheological behavior and processing performance.
The micro lines are designed for compatibility with various polymers, including thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers, and can process both virgin and recycled materials. The system is built with high-quality, temperature-resistant materials to withstand the conditions required for polymer processing, ensuring reliability and longevity in lab environments.
