Summary:
This presentation provides an overview of Promix Solutions’ advanced technologies for process control in foam extrusion, focusing on innovations in mixing, foaming, and cooling. It highlights the capabilities of Promix Microcellular Foaming Systems, which enable significant material savings, CO₂ footprint reduction, and enhanced product performance across applications such as packaging, profiles, cables, and thermoforming. Key components—including high‑precision gas dosing stations, static melt blenders, and the P1 Mixing Cooler—are presented as integrated solutions that improve melt homogenization, heat exchange efficiency, and cell structure control. The Visco‑P inline viscometer is introduced as a critical tool for real‑time quality monitoring, particularly in recycling, reactive extrusion, and other sensitive processes. Together, these technologies demonstrate how Promix enhances process stability, product quality, and operational efficiency in modern extrusion environments.
