Melt Temperature Measurement Technology Enters UK Market
Melt Temperature Measurement Systems has reached an agreement with Mouldshop Ltd. to bring its measurement kit to British molders.
Melt Temperature Measurement System () is entering the U.K. market via an exclusive distribution agreement with Developed by Rich Bleck, MTMS enables users to measure the actual melt temperature of material in injection molding, in lieu of using barrel or set temperatures, which can be inaccurate. The kit ensures that material remains in a molten state during the reading and that the thermocouple has direct contact with the resin.
In a release, Nick Labansky, MTMS president, says the MTMS kit will be added to the Mouldshop’s website, with supporting information available directly from MTMS.
Mouldshop’s Liam Hammond says the technology would be especially beneficial to customers who must adhere to strict process conditions. In 2023, MTMS acquired the technology developed and patented by Bleck from Schmit Prototypes.
