The conditions for achieving ideal extrusion are narrow, and the accuracy is easily influenced by the molding conditions, making irregular extrusion a field where the advantages of simulation are particularly evident. The irregular extrusion module derives a stable mold shape against disturbances based on the unique optimal mold design theory "Cross-Flow Minimization Method" developed by Compulast. It thoroughly supports the abundant ideas of mold designers with simple operability and quick analysis.

Many of the causes of extrusion molding troubles are said to lie within the extruder. Smooth melting of the material is an essential condition for eliminating molding defects. In addition to general parameters such as pressure, temperature, residence time, and melting completion position, our proprietary parameters from Compulast provide detailed output on the state of the material during melting, making it easy to identify trouble factors within the extruder. It is equipped with input templates that allow for easy input of complex screw shapes like mixing and barrier designs, as well as detailed heater settings.

Simulation software for extrusion molding is currently available in various types. However, it is also true that there are many cases where it is not being utilized effectively. Many of the reasons for this include "the usage is difficult," "uncertainty about how to use the software for troubleshooting," and "lack of someone to consult with." In other words, if the product itself is user-friendly and the support system after purchase is robust, simulation software becomes an essential item for extrusion molding sites, as it can help eliminate unnecessary costs. The "Virtual Extrusion Lab Series" offers easy-to-understand operation and comprehensive support, making it a product that can be confidently used even by those who have previously avoided simulation software. Our website also showcases actual case studies and examples of cost reduction.

= 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.
