Hengxiang KN58: High Temperature Solution for Plastic Extrusion Filtration

Hengxiang KN58: High temperature solution for plastic extrusion filtration

Background:

A North American plastic extrusion filtration system original equipment manufacturer is facing a severe challenge from encoders: their rotary filtration equipment operates in high-temperature melt environments, relying on precise pneumatic drive control to maintain constant pressure and uninterrupted production.

The problems the company facing:

The encoder they originally used malfunctioned at temperatures exceeding 80 ° C, resulting in premature equipment damage. Its 5V output requires an external amplifier - both components are susceptible to thermal effects, causing their equipment to be unstable, frequently malfunctioning, and interrupted, requiring a lot of time for equipment maintenance and waiting for repairs, seriously affecting their production efficiency and time.

Hengxiang's solution

After fully understanding the customer's situation, we customized the Hengxiang KN58 encoder for him, which features include:

● Resistant to sustained high temperatures of 120 ° C (verified by professional testing)

● Integrated 30V strong output signal (no external amplifier required)

● Customized bearings, cables, and heat-resistant seals to meet temperature and speed requirements

● Customized spring plates and sockets for seamless installation

What the encoder can achieve now

● Eliminated heat related faults: able to operate stably even at extreme temperatures

Simplify the system: remove amplifiers, reduce components and fault points

● Enhance reliability: smoother filtering process with zero interruptions

● Performance improvement: Ensure stable melt quality and control constant pressure

What the company benefits in the case:

● Installation cost reduced by $300 (component reduction)

● Save $200 annually on replacement/maintenance costs

● Reducing downtime, improving productivity, and enhancing customers satisfaction
