LEWA ecofoam - The metering system for blowing agents in extrusion processes - 1

The metering of blowing agent is of particular importance to guarantee the constant quality of the end product in extrusion processes. LEWA ecofoam is a system for the metering of blowing agent, e.g. C02, propane, butane, halogenated hydrocarbons and pentane into the plastic melt of an extrusion process. Performance overview: The guide signal to control the diaphragm metering pump is linked to the extruder's speed. The metering pump delivers the blowing agent into the plastic melt in proportion to the extruder's speed. The controller LEWA smart control conducts a consistent plausibility check between the flow meter's signal and the guiding signal and adjusts the flow rate via speed control of the drive motor in order to meet the process requirements. Your benefit: ■ Consistent quality of the foamed product due to: ■ Exact metering even at fluctuating extruder pressures ■ Use of the controller LEWA smart control with a faster response time than a conventional ■ High productivity by long maintenance intervals (1 x per year depending on process conditions) ■ High reliability due to robust and hermetically tight pump technology (LEWA ecoflow) ■ High expertise of blowing agent, e.g. switch from butane to C02 © D6-101 en • 08.2012 • Ànderungen vorbehalten • Layout and origin: Germany
