AquaTrack V is a moisture meter for polymers that achieves high precision equivalent to the Karl Fischer method using a unique measurement technique. Since it does not require large equipment like nitrogen, moisture measurement can be performed on-site with just a 100V power supply. The handling and disposal of reagents are also easy, making it widely used in the plastic molding industry. 【Features】 ■ High precision of 1ppm and high reproducibility ■ Database of various materials already registered ■ Measurement results can be stored in the unit for up to 200 readings ■ New high-resolution touch display ■ Data can be output in PDF and CSV formats ■ Data output can be saved to a USB memory or to a PC via Ethernet *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The company we visited this time, "Sankou Kasei Co., Ltd.," is an engineering plastic molding company founded in 1965. It operates globally with 11 locations in Japan and 3 overseas. They have established a "one-stop production system" that handles everything in-house, from product design to mold manufacturing, molding processing, and quality control, providing high-quality products that meet the diverse needs of various clients. This time, we visited the Ichinoseki factory located in Iwate Prefecture, where they have introduced the Aqua Track 3E.

= The Close Relationship Between Moisture and Viscosity = If thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets are not sufficiently dried, it can directly lead to molding defects. Therefore, to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the drying degree of TPU pellets on their moldability, we measured the moisture content and viscosity of both undried and dried TPU pellets and compared the appearance of the extrudate (strand). The details are published on our company website. Please click the link below to take a look.
