screw 's Melting Process Made Visible Inline

Moldsonics displays solid and molten areas in the screw channel—right in the middle of the process.

While developing a new type of heating technology, we were able to analyze the concept of our internally heated plasticizing screw in detail for the first time—using process data collected directly from the material flow, without relying on model-based assumptions. Moldsonics provides the data we’ve been waiting for.

The challenge

Until now, it has been difficult to observe the melting process in the screw barrel .
It was not possible to clearly identify solid and molten areas in the screw channel during the ongoing process.

This meant there was no basis for systematically evaluating new heating concepts and plasticization behavior.

Solution

Moldsonics makes the melting process visible in real time.
The sensor system detects where solids and polymer melt are present in the screw channel—directly during the running process.

This provides a realistic picture of the plasticization behavior without interrupting the process.

Result

  • Solid material and polymer melt visible in the screw conveyor channel
  • Plasticization behavior visible in real time
  • New heating concepts are easier to evaluate
  • A basis for more targeted litigation
