Simple Extrusion Recipe.

In order to calculate the correct motor speed required to feed the desired amount of additive, the following data must be entered:

4)Additive %

5)Throughput

6)Calibration weight.

In addition, for the greatest accuracy, samples of the additive should be weighed and entered.

Additive %

The % additive specifies the proportion of additive to virgin material as a percentage of throughput. For example, if the throughput is 200 grams per minute and 8.5 grams of additive are required, the additive percentage would be 4.25. After the additive value has been entered, press the “Next” button to navigate to the Throughput screen.

Throughput.

Press throughput specifies the total weight of material through the extruder per minute. The value can be entered in grams, kilograms, ounces, or pounds per minute. The unit of measure is changed by pressing the units button at the middle right of the screen. Changing the unit of measure will NOT change the value displayed on the screen. It is important that this value be adjusted whenever the extruder speed changes.
