• Testing Equipment and Devices

The flowability of polymers cannot be predicted because it is "non-linear." This is also why the melt index (MI), which should be an indicator of flowability, often does not match the actual moldability. The more complex flow known as elongational viscosity is particularly difficult to predict accurately, and the only way to obtain reliable data is to measure it in the same range as the actual molding speed. Imatec provides highly reproducible viscosity data thanks to 20 years of experience and the latest control technology.

• Viscometer

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.

• Extrusion Machine

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.

• Other information systems

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.

• Other information systems

We flexibly reproduce the increasingly diverse vacuum forming processes, including the specification of clamp positions, temperature and thickness distribution of the sheet, friction and heat transfer between the mold and the sheet, timing of vacuum and pressure air, and the shape of the assist plug. We automatically calculate the optimal initial sheet temperature settings to achieve a uniform thickness distribution.

• Other molds

The parison and preform shapes can be imported from Ansys and STL files in addition to dimension input using the B-SIM template. Various settings such as clamp position, temperature of the parison and preform, thickness distribution, friction and heat transfer with the mold, timing of the blow, and direction of mold movement allow for accurate reproduction of the blow molding process.

• Other information systems

The revolutionary device "MAP," which prevents the major enemy of injection molding, "condensation on molds," surrounds only the area where the cooling water of the injection molding machine circulates with plastic sheets or similar materials and blows dry air only into that space. This is an energy-saving type of condensation prevention system. Since it eliminates the need to adjust the cooling water temperature according to the outside temperature, molding becomes stable throughout the year, and defects in molding are reduced. If humidity control for the entire factory was previously necessary, costs related to air conditioning can also be significantly reduced.

• Other physicochemical equipment

This device stably cools the compressed air blown into molded products. By stably blowing cooled compressed air into the molded products, it promotes internal cooling, improves the quality of the molded products, and shortens the cooling cycle. It can be easily integrated into existing equipment.

• Other physicochemical equipment

A new mechanism that incorporates the quality control of "color" into the manufacturing process. Traditional measurements using general color spectrometers require strict management of light sources, sensor angles, distances, and other factors to measure absolute values.
