Why Measure Plastic Melt Temperature?
Four major variables in the plastic mold injection process. Mastering all four reduces production down time and ensures a high quality product.
These leading companies use MTMS for continous quality control
“About a month ago the lab got a new toy!
Ok not a toy, but a really cool device for taking melt temps. This kit is from Melt Temperature Measurement Systems, recommended to me by the folks at RJG. I finally had time to try it out today and yes, it gives far more consistent measurements than a probe in a melt pool. I actually got an identical measurement taking the temp 3 times within about 15 minutes. Thanks to MTMS for making it possible to add their device to our lab.” -Karl Anderson, Director of Plastics Injection Molding, Central Community College.
The Melt Temperature Measurement System (MTMS) focuses on two major principles. The first principle is to keep the material or purge molten. Normally, in the injection molding industry, we focus on solidifying the resin rapidly by cooling the resin quickly so we can produce more parts per hour. However, the MTMS focuses on keeping the purge material molten so the thermocouple can detect the temperature before the material “freezes” or “skins”. When the material skins the tip is now insulated and this prevents the thermocouple from measuring the melt temperature accurately.
NOTE: A minimum of 1 ounce purge is required for accurate melt temperature measurement.
The second major principle is to position the thermocouple probe in the effective flow path of the material or purge. This also has a wiping action over the thermocouple probe which eliminate skinning. The precise positioning of the thermocouple also eliminates human error and gives you a more repeatable and accurate melt temperature.
MTMS is based on two major principles. The first is to keep the purge molten by using an insulator cup. And the second is to precisely position the thermocouple probe in the effective flow path for shot/purge-to-shot/purge repeatability.
How the MTMS Kit Works:
With the MTMS Kit, the patented insulator cup maintains the melt temperature in the cup and prevents skinning. This allows the melt temperature to be measured accurately.
