The melting process in the screw is made visible in real time
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 design 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 inside the screw barrel.
It was not possible to clearly identify solid and molten areas within the screw channel while the process was in progress.
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 sensors detect where solids and molten material are present in the screw channel—right in the middle of the process.
This provides a realistic picture of the plasticization behavior without interrupting the process.
Result
- Solid material and melt visible in the screw channel
- Plasticization behavior visible in real time
- New heating concepts are easier to evaluate
- A basis for more targeted litigation
