Detect extruder wear before the system shuts down

EREMA uses Moldsonics to measure screws —and cylinder wear during operation—with 24/7 condition data and ±0.05 mm accuracy.

Thanks to the solution (hardware and software) developed in collaboration with Moldsonics, our customers can now, for the first time, continuously monitor the wear conditions of screw and cylinders in real time, visualize the data in BluPort®, and derive maintenance recommendations.

The challenge

screw and cylinders wear out imperceptibly during recycling operations.
If the condition is detected too late, it can lead to unplanned downtime, long spare-part lead times, and scrap.

Solution

Moldsonics measures wear non-contact during operation.
The readings indicate when screw or cylinders are approaching a critical state—directly on the HMI and in EREMA BluPort®.
