EMA Extrusion Dimensional Instability
Problem Phenomenon
EMA extruded product cross-section dimensions fluctuate ±10%, and there are periodic changes in the length direction
Cause Analysis
Unstable feeding amount, feeding screw speed fluctuates; extrusion temperature periodically fluctuates ±5°C; haul-off speed does not match extrusion speed
Solution
1) Use a loss-in-weight feeder to ensure stable feeding; 2) PID control of each extruder zone temperature with accuracy ±1°C; 3) Closed-loop control of haul-off speed linked with extrusion speed; 4) Control processing temperature at 160-210±5°C
Key Takeaway
Extrusion dimensional stability depends on feeding accuracy, temperature control and haul-off synchronization
