Efficient production ensuring the required level of quality
Designed to meet the highest standards regarding temperature and pressure, SBT type flow sensors ensure efficient production processes, for example in injection moulding plants, tyre production or meat substitute production. The sensor determines the flow rate of the medium used for the conformal temperature control in order to heat or cool the mould depending on the process step. In the process, it will not be affected by air bubbles.
With the help of the precise measured values and exact process control, you can reduce rejects.
Thanks to the high repeatability, deviations from the setpoint are detected at an early stage, even when the flow rates are very low. Costly rejects due to premature or incomplete cooling are avoided.
Detect maintenance requirements at an early stage thanks to continuous monitoring
Depending on the nature of the heating or cooling medium, the channels incorporated into the injection mould for conformal temperature control can become clogged over time. Deposits such as lime or dirt particles can reduce or even prevent the flow of the heating or cooling medium. As a result, the insufficiently heated work medium cannot distribute correctly or does not cool down sufficiently. Both will lead to products with poor quality.
Filters with a mesh size of approx. 200 μm are used to filter free dirt particles. The high repeatability as well as the fast response time of the sensor help detecting maintenance requirements in the clogged piping system quickly and allow the system to be repaired at an early stage.
Modern energy management
Monitoring the flow and temperature has proven its worth in temperature control processes. In this way, the energy consumption of the production process can be easily monitored and optimised through precise control of temperature and flow.
Due to the outstanding response time of the flow measurement, even high cycle times are no obstacle. The temperature measurement can be implemented with the help of the robust sensors TM5101 (up to 150 °C) or TA2212 (up to 200 °C).
