Thermography: thermographic studies

Uses in plastic industry.

The infrared technic thermography can be used in plastic industries to optimize the process and improvement of quality, as well as in the development of new tools.

In the thermoplastic injection process, can be found wide information about the transformation process itself: through thermographic images upon items just injected, even on the mould, apart from those extracted from it, or on the mould’s surface itself:

• Temperature deviation in critical points (injection points, inserts, item’s thicker zones,  etc)
• Hot points detection produced by thermoplastic material friction in any mould zone.
• Temperature control effectiveness.
• Mould’s system tempering effectiveness.
• Accurate heat distribution, in both mould and item.
• Temperature development study on mould surface until the process is stabilized.
• Cooling time/course optimization.
• Obtained results validation with simulation programs.

Thermographic infrared usefulness in plastic industry:

Heizelemente Industrie Maxiwatt carries out studies with thermographic cameras to detect our cartridge heater’s effectiveness, in client’s mould or any wanted application, getting spectacular thermic precision results in graded cartridges..

According to application or mould, we basically get exact temperature effectiveness, through all mould’s surface or application.

In order to achieve the proper use, it is built with right wattage, getting a bigger saving.

The cartridges are built with a bigger overload margin, producing higher durability due to the power study and calculation of the proper temperature.

In case of temperature loss we recommend different positions avoiding mould’s or application’s cooling or overheating.

Heizelemente Industrie Maxiwatt provides detailed in writing study, about the thermographic process developed by skilled technicians, as we use the best international computer programs and cameras.
