  • Method for the measurement of the temperature of a plastified plastic material at the exit of an extruder
    Patent number: 8298461
    Abstract: A method for the measurement of the temperature of a plastified plastic material at the exit of an extruder, characterized in that the function of the sound velocity in dependence of the temperature is measured and memorized for at least one plastified plastic material, the sound velocity is measured during the extrusion of the plastic material, and the respective temperature is determined from the velocity measurement values and the function.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2012
    Assignee: Sikora AG
    Inventors: Harald Sikora, Torben Clausen
