The function of melt pressure transducer !

The melt pressure systems engineered and supplied by ZHYQ are designed to measure, control and supervise the temperatures and pressures associated with plastics extrusion.

Melt pressure control improves the quality and uniformity of extruded products, which reduces potential defects and imperfections. This maximises quality and control and improves efficiency, as fewer defective products means less wastage of time and resources. Melt pressure control can also improve the safety of the process.

Pressure control provides a means of monitoring and stabilising pressure and reduces the risk of overpressure and consequent damage. Additionally, melt pressure control can extend the life of extruder components by reducing wear caused by inconsistent pressures. The key components required for an effective melt pressure control system are transducers, controllers and indicators.

Melt pressure transducers are specialised sensors used to measure pressure during the extrusion process. ZHYQ have various options including PT124B-111 transducer (rigid stem), PT124B-123 transducer (rigid stem with flex) and the PT124B-123T transducer (pressure and temperature). environmentally friendly transmitters are also available.
