Extrusion simulation in the die

Evaluate die regions earlier with extrusion simulation

Fewer die corrections, shorter run-in phases and a more reliable basis for your next decision. In extrusion technology in particular, important decisions often have to be made before it becomes visible how the material exits the extrusion die. An extrusion simulation in StrömungsRaum® makes the underlying physics visible at an earlier stage and creates a data-driven basis for further development and targeted die optimisation. You do not need to set up your own simulation department, new computing hardware or complex simulation workflows.

Wo Extrusions­entscheidungen ohne Simulation zum Risiko werden

Material flow and exit homogeneity

How evenly is the material distributed at the die exit? StrömungsRaum® visualises the material distribution and flow behaviour in the extrusion die and supports you in evaluating homogeneity at the die exit. This allows you to identify inhomogeneities – such as wall thickness variations or insufficient dimensional accuracy – earlier and to derive possible starting points for more targeted die optimisation.

Pressure drop and residence time

Where do pressure losses or relevant differences in residence time occur? The simulation analyses pressure drop and residence time in the die under consideration. This gives you a data-driven basis for investigating critical regions and dead zones and for comparing die variants more objectively.

Critical die regions

Which geometric regions have a particularly strong influence on the flow result? Geometry-specific sensitivities show which regions of a die have the greatest influence on exit homogeneity. This allows you to identify optimisation potential earlier and to make changes where they are relevant to the question at hand.

See more than just the result at the die exit

The crucial question is not only whether a die works. What matters is which geometry enables a uniform material flow and where an adjustment is particularly worthwhile.

Füllsimulation Visual

Simulate automatically, compare variants

StrömungsRaum® is a cloud-based simulation solution for extrusion dies. It enables you to investigate different variants without having to build up your own hardware, additional software or extensive simulation expertise. Analyse material flow and material distribution. Evaluate temperature control in the die more precisely. Compare possible solutions on a reliable basis. This turns a laborious sequence of trial and error into a structured, efficient process for further die development.

Ergebnisse Visual

Evaluate results clearly

You receive detailed simulation results and specific, actionable recommendations for the die and the process. In the 3D Live Viewer, you evaluate the results interactively and examine relevant regions directly. Automatic evaluations and geometry-specific sensitivities help you to identify optimisation potential more quickly and plan the next changes in a more targeted way.

What simulation changes in practice

IANUS Logo

Greater process reliability, less scrap: Lehvoss optimises filament production

During the continuous extrusion process for filaments, LEHVOSS repeatedly experienced disruptions at the die exit. Specifically, undesirable die drool occurred, as well as abrupt breaking of the extrudate immediately after it left the die.

3D-Render Kartenstapel

Less effort, more precision: Hans Weber digitalises spiral mandrel distributor design

Significantly faster die development and measurable cost benefits through parametric simulation and digital design of the spiral mandrel distributors.

For teams that want to develop extrusion dies in a more targeted way

Design engineering

You want to evaluate material flow, pressure drop and homogeneity as early as the development phase. With StrömungsRaum®, you investigate critical die regions and compare variants on a data-driven basis. This allows you to identify optimisation potential earlier and steer further die development more precisely and with fewer iterations.

Production

You experience the consequences of die corrections, long run-in phases and scrap directly in day-to-day production. The simulation creates a data-driven basis for investigating potential critical regions before the die is put into operation. Comprehensible results support coordination between development and production and help you to prepare the next step in a more targeted way.
