Effective process optimisation in the production of LDPE

Quality control has always been important to us. But we were not really aware at the beginning that we could also ensure a considerable process optimisation by means of the OP5. At first, the measuring device delivered results that seemed irreal to us. This was solely due to the fact that even several daily laboratory measurements could not adequately reflect the dynamic changes in production. These variations only became visible through the short measuring interval of the automated OP5 online measurement. The continuous quality control with the use of the OP5 allows us to optimise the production process at any time and at the same time to finally classify our batch material. The advantages such as the fully automated measurement, the considerable time savings through the reduction of transition times and the high reproducibility through the OCS equipment, in comparison to the manual ISO1133 measurement, contribute to an effective process optimisation and reduction.
