DYNISCO

Dynisco

Dynisco was founded in 1953 and has long been providing tools and services for the polymer industry. Their goal is to give customers a “window into the process” – a direct and reliable insight into the process, enabling production to be verified and, when necessary, quickly adjusted to ensure the output meets the required specifications.

Practical benefits

Today’s manufacturing requires accurate data both for quality verification and for stable process control. Dynisco focuses on measuring and evaluating parameters that directly affect process consistency – especially pressure, temperature, and the rheological properties of the melt.

Dynisco’s portfolio includes a wide range of sensors and measuring equipment for production environments, as well as laboratory instruments for polymer testing. By connecting data from pilot and laboratory measurements with online production monitoring (24/7 depending on configuration), changes can be addressed quickly and the process can be maintained within target parameters.

  • Early detection of deviations (trends and process changes) and rapid parameter correction
  • More consistent quality across batches and improved production repeatability
  • Reduced downtime and scrap rates thanks to better process control and fast diagnostics

Portfolio: measurement, analysis, control

Dynisco is globally recognized for products for pressure and temperature measurement and control as well as solutions for polymer testing and rheology. Typically, this involves a combination of sensors, indication/control units, and laboratory instruments for verifying both the material and the process.

Sensors and process measurement

Robust sensors and transmitters designed for demanding polymer processing conditions such as extrusion or injection molding. Variants are available with different output signals and interfaces, including widely used industrial signals (e.g., mV/V, mA, VDC) as well as versions compatible with HART. 

Analytical instruments and polymer testing

Process quality starts with the material. Dynisco provides tools for verifying material specifications and optimizing processing conditions – from laboratory testing to online measurement (depending on configuration).

Adapters Button Seal

Process adapters are an accessory to all pressure and temperature sensors, allowing a 1 / 2-20 UNF (Unified National Fine nt) melt pressure sensor to be installed in the mounting port using a flange. The use of the flange is compatible with all sensors of the given dimensions and all manufacturers. Each adapter and sealing elements are made to order depending on the dimensions and mounting port. Flange extensions are available as one-piece constructions or detachable threaded connections. The design of the flange is specific to the one used and depends on the dimensions, thickness and diameter of the mounting screws.

FCR-R - Rheometer

Specifically designed for the synthetic fiber production industry, the Dynisco FCR-R series can be configured to measure a range of apparent shear viscosities, dual melt flow rate, simultaneous melt flow rate and extensional viscosities using the Cogswell Equations. The FCR-R system consists of two parts: a rheometer head and a rheometer control unit (RCU). The rheometer head is connected directly to the process which samples, conditions, and measures the melt viscosity of the molten resin through two separate dies. The RCU controls the rheometer test parameters (temperature, pressure and rate) and takes in data from the measurement head as well as provides outputs of computed results.

GRMT

The Graduated Retractable Melt Thermocouple (GRMT) is used to measure temperatures inside the polymer melt stream. The depth of immersion of the junction into the hot melt stream can be varied from zero to mid-stream during maximum flow and pressure conditions, without removing the sensor from the adapter. Using the graduations on the stem of the temperature sensor allows the user to choose and monitor the specific depth at which the junction is in the melt stream.
