Process Control with Dynamic Feed from Synventive Molding Solutions
´s-Gravendeel, August 2001. – Synventive Molding Solutions launches Dynamic FeedTM, a unique and patented process control system. Dynamic FeedTM provides independent ‘real time’ process control of each gate. The degree of control is the same as having a separate injection unit at each gate. Each gate can have a different injection pressure, injection time, pack pressure and pack time. The injection and packing pressure profiles are independently controlled. Each nozzle of the hot runner is fitted with a flow control pin operated by a control valve, similar to standard valve gate assemblies. The variable position of the flow control pin will affect the flow rate to each cavity. Pressure is measured in each nozzle downstream of the flow control pin just prior to the melt entering each cavity. A PID controller is used to control the pin’s position based on the injection and packing profiles determined for each cavity.
