Principle
The sample is inserted and then extruded by the twin-screw extruder. During the analysis, sensors and controllers measure relevant values, such as temperature and pressure. You are presented with clear values that you can use to form a correlation between the process and the product.
Software
The user-friendly Windows software allows operating data to be logged and for measurement results to be evaluated according to the latest standards. Online diagrams provide a quick overview of measurement data and evaluation results, even during an ongoing measurement.
The features of the program include:
- Logging of experiment conditions
- Description of the material being examined
- Control and data collection
- Representation and online printout of experimental data
- Graphical representation of experimental data obtained
