FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS - 1
•
True process control in rotomolding is not possible without real-time
temperature monitoring.
•
Measuring the temperature of the material inside the mold has practical
difficulties, but measuring temperature of the air inside the mold is easier.
•
Temperature of air inside the mold closely tracks temperature of material and
identifies all the key events during a cycle (eg melting, correct cure, release of
material during cooling).
•
K-PAQ overcomes practical difficulties in measuring temperature during
rotomolding (biaxial rotation), using insulated and cooled canister to contain
sensitive electronics.
