Metering performance

Metering performance (plasticizing capacity) as a processing parameter

Where the screw shape is fixed, the metering performance of a material may be a parameter that determines the cycle time in the injection molding process. It describes the volume flow rate from the hopper to the space in front of the screw in the plastication unit and is given in cm3/min.
