Extrusion International 2-2024

35 Extrusion International 2/2024 technology into their lines. The Mi- crocell Technology can be used for almost all raw materials. The tech- nology is available for new extru- sion lines and as a retrofit solution for existing lines. The smart way to monitor raw material quality and process control The increased use of recycled ma- terial and raw materials from dif- ferent sources makes it more and more challenging to keep extrusion processes under control. The "Vis- co-P" inline viscometer from Pro- mix Solutions is helpful in two ways. Firstly, the installed mixer module homogenizes the polymer melt and secondly, it measures the actual vis- cosity under processing conditions and in real time, directly in the melt stream. There is no bypass and no material loss. Trend evaluations and reporting tools allow recording of the mea- surement results with statistical evaluation. User-selectable upper and lower limits for the viscosity trig- ger an alarm and show the operator current deviations from the target value, allowing corrective measures to ensure a high quality level. The Visco-P is compatible with all common extruder designs and can be retrofitted to existing lines. It can be used for almost all polymers and is very easy to operate.
