A New Polymer Property Sensor to Enable Greater Use of Recycled Plasitics in Extrusion and Injection Moulding

该项目旨在引入一种新的革命性传感技术，该技术将为制造商提供以前无法获得的有关其工艺的信息，并帮助他们增加回收材料的使用。Peak to Peak测量解决方案有限公司是使用嵌入式超声波技术进行状态监测的专家。我们的非侵入式状态监测技术能够提供关键工艺参数的在线、非侵入性和实时特征，并促进熄灯机器操作的闭环控制，确保以最少的设置和停机时间实现最大产量。这项工作的目的是降低风险，鼓励更多地使用回收材料，从而增加其价值，减少对原始材料的依赖。Peak to Peak将与制造业价值链上的一系列利益相关者合作，证明这些技术在工业上的可行性。这将包括与一家工业制造商合作，完成传感器的试点试验，并评估和量化它对用户的好处。

This project aims to introduce a new revolutionary sensing technology that will give manufacturers previously unavailable information about their processes, and help them increase their use of recycled materials.Peak to Peak Measurement Solutions Ltd are specialists in condition monitoring using embedded ultrasonics technology. Our non-invasive condition monitoring technology is able to offer online, non-invasive and real-time characterisation of critical process parameters and facilitates closed-loop control for lights-out machine operation, ensuring maximum production with minimum setup and downtime.The aim for this work is to de-risk and incentivise the increased use of recycled materials and as a result increase its value, and decrease the existing reliance on virgin materials. Peak to Peak will work with a range of stakeholders along the manufacturing value chain to demonstrate the technologies industrial viability. This will include working with an industrial manufacturer to complete pilot-level trials of the sensor, and evaluate and quantify it's benefit to the user.
