Pyrometers in the plastics industry
Blown Film Compression - Temperature monitoring, in conjunction with proper heating and cooling, ensures tension resistance and thickness uniformity of plastics.
Injection Film Pressing - Temperature control to maintain proper film thickness and surface finish uniformity, detection of die bolt heater or film pin failure.
Biaxial Directional Film Pressing - Single point thermometers are mounted at the forming cylinder to control cooling rollers are mounted at the preheating and cooling equipment to control the amount of heating and cooling.
Sheet Pressing - Raytek line scanners allow the operator to monitor the sheet temperature and adjust the press heater and cooling drum temperatures in time to equalise the quality of the output.
Film Lamination - Paper, film or foil lamination processes are performed in an often small and difficult to measure target. With a Raytek pyrometer, the operator can continuously monitor and adjust the temperature of the laminating heaters and cooling rollers either manually or automatically in a timely manner.
Laminating and Embossing - Use Raytek line scanners to monitor the temperature of the horizontal film layers and control the heaters.
Thermoforming Processing - Ensuring the correct temperature of multi-layer materials for stacking and later forming helps monitor the temperature distribution of the material before it enters the thermoformer.
