Ultra-productive with ultrasonic
Ultrasonic temperature measurement system for polyethylene melts
The ULTRATEMP 6000 is an ultrasonic temperature measuring device for the reliable measurement of polyethylene melts. The melt temperature of the polyethylene, which is used at the insulation of cables, is extremely critical. A few degrees decide between a homogeneous and thus optimum melt and the risk of unmelted or burnt material.
ULTRATEMP 6000 is a temperature measuring system, which continuously measures the teperature of polyethylene melt precisely, directly before the cross head during extrusion. It works on a non-contact basis. Besides temperature measurement the ULTRATEMP 6000 detects inhomogenities in the melt. Early cross-linking after screens which may lead to ambers and scorches in the polyethylene material is avoided.
The high measuring rate allows a fast response time as well as the registration of small temperature variations. The system does not influence the melt flow properties, as the ultrasonic sensors are positioned outside of the flow channel. Therefore, melt shear heating effects do not occur. ULTRATEMP 6000 importantly contributes to process optimization and costs reduction in CV or VCV-lines.
