CASE STUDY
Optimized screw development for energy efficiency and process quality
Conserve valuable resources with simulation-based screw development: reduced material and energy consumption, fewer test runs, and a shortened development time of just one week. Leverage concurrently assessed concepts to secure technological advantages and realize innovative approaches.
Challenge
How can I develop an energy-efficient screw that still delivers high process quality?
Advantage
By leveraging our extensive know-how in plastics engineering, at IANUS we develop new sizes based on established findings from our simulations and our company’s expertise. We offer a comprehensive package that provides everything from a single source, including the recommendation of a suitable manufacturer.
Solution Approach
With our PartnerPackage, we develop screws that are optimized based on the latest scientific findings and precise simulations. These screws are scaled to different sizes, providing you with a completely new series that guarantees consistently high properties such as excellent melt quality, low melt temperature, low starting torques, and safe melting. If requested, we design the screws in 3D and connect you with suitable manufacturing partners. For screws specifically optimized for mixing applications, we also offer 3D simulations of the mixing parts to ensure detailed optimization.
Benefit
By using our simulation solutions, you save valuable resources such as material for screw construction as well as time and energy for complex test runs. You gain a market advantage because the development time for new screws is reduced to just one week. Additionally, you achieve a technological advantage by being able to investigate various concepts in parallel, giving you the opportunity to pursue innovative approaches beyond traditional methods.
"With the partner package, we can quickly implement spontaneous simulations of spiral distributors. We only need to send the tool geometry and the process point; the rest is handled by IANUS itself. This saves us valuable resources." - Jesus Puente
