Noncontact Temperature Measurement in Plastic Industries

VIKING International offers a wide variety of infrared thermometers that monitor and control temperature in plastics manufacturing processes. These thermometers measure temperatures of fast moving processes quickly and efficiently. They measure the temperature of the product directly, instead of the oven or the dryer, allowing you to quickly adjust process parameters to ensure top product quality.

VIKING International's infrared thermometers are easily integrated into existing process control systems and have the following benefits:
• Non-destructive: the product is never touched or contaminated.
• Fast and reliable: moving objects are measured accurately and quickly.
• Flexible: temperature measurements can be made of a large area or a small spot.

Major Applications

Blown Film Extrusion - Maintain the plastic's tensile integrity and thickness with accurate temperature monitoring and the ability to adjust heating and cooling.

Cast Film Extrusion - Control temperatures for proper thickness and finish uniformity with VIKING International infrared thermometers, and detect potential die bolt heater problems or plugged dies.

Originally-oriented Film Extrusion - Mount VIKING International sensors at the cast roll unit for chill roll control and at the preheater and cooling units, for heating and cooling control.

Sheet Extrusion - VIKING International linescanners allow operators to monitor sheet temperature and to adjust the die heater for consistent product quality.

Extrusion Coating - Monitor molten web within the narrow and often difficult to access measurement area when using VIKING International sensors.

Laminating and Embossing - Use an MP50 linescanner to monitor cross-web temperatures and to help control heating adjustments.

Thermoforming - Ensure proper temperatures for laminating a multilayer product for subsequent forming. Monitor the material's temperature distribution at its proper level prior to entering the thermoformer.
