                              GraviMac Series-Online Measurement and Control System of Per-meter

                                        ----- A Quality Measurement System Based on Weight ----

The strong points of this system:

1.Shorten the start-up time

2.Saving of the raw materials

3. Reduce the quality risks of plastics pipe production and improve quality.

The applications:

The process control for the production of plastics pipes, film, etc.

The function:

The system is installed on an extruder to measure and calculate per-meter weight and extrusion output, and also controlled by closed loop, which realize

the constant weight of per- meter and make it operate at setting values.

Precision error:

< 0.3~0.5%(Differs from the different raw materials and machines)

The available materials for GraviMac:

The powderyThe pellet / Granular The fine powder( good flowing properties)Mixture or Untreated material/ Fine powder or Small spherical / powdery(good flowing properties)Rubber(Granular)

What is Meter Weight and the Measurement&Control Sysem of Per-Meter Weight ?

Meter Weight is the product weight of per-meter. National standard also provide the corresponding range of meter weight while provide the product geometry range, be equal to give the corresponding meter weight range, because the constant meter weight decide whether the product is qualified at a large extent.

 

 

Why should we configure Meter Weight System on the traditional pipe production line ?

 

Traditional pipe production system(Without the configuration of meter weight system):

The meter weight of common pipe during the startup process is uncertain, in order to meet the quality requirements, usually the workers have to adjust several times, but this process will cause a lot of material waste and loss of time (the large size pipe is particularly obvious)

 

How to make qualified pipe with shortest time and least material consumption in the startup process ?

Mainly depend on the experience, skill and luck of operators on the production line.The wall thickness of pipe in the production process is affected by many uncertain factors, such as: unstable properties of material (for examplethe add in of recycled material), melt index changes brought by the material replacement, the stability of machine, immaturity of the workmanship, the material discharge not smooth, even the grid voltage fluctuation etc, all may lead to changes or fluctuations of meter weight, which will result in a potential risk of product quality.

 

The new system after configuring the meter weight system

Meter weight datas can be obtained soon after startup: make the“unknown”empirical production become“known”precise production, so as to make valid and visible production adjustment.Shorten startup time: the operator simply need to connect the pipes and do the normal pulling, then the system could automatically adjust the pipe meter weight to a qualified range, which will break away from the dependence on the experience and skill of operators.Monitor the entire process: the system monitor the pipe meter weight in the whole production process, and collect pipe meter weight in real-time, if deviations were found, it will immediately adjust the extruder or the puller to reaches the stable meter weight and run according to the set value.Pipe deviation alarm: The prompt output of alarm information for the pipe quality risk that appears will effectively prevent product quality defects.

Systemic function:

 The measurement and control parameters that can be setting in GraviMac

 A. The output of extruder

      Unit: kg/hr

      Control the output by controlling RPM of the extruder)

B. Per-meter weight

     Unit: kg/m, g/m

     Linear speed input is needed;

     Control the weight of per-metre by controlling the linear speed.

C. Statistical function

     Count the consumption of raw material and the length.
