Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de moulage par injection. Un capteur de pression (27) est inséré dans une extrémité d'un cylindre de chauffage (13) d'un dispositif de moulage par injection. Pendant un processus de mesure, une petite quantité d'une résine de biomasse de forme granulaire (45) et une petite quantité d'un additif (46) en forme de poudre sont transférées depuis des alimentateurs constants (52, 54) à une trémie (40) se trouvant à une entrée (28). Juste au-dessous de l'entrée (28), une matière est fournie pendant certaines périodes de temps avec une ouverture ménagée dans un espace à l'intérieur du cylindre de chauffage (13). Une unité de commande (25) calcule une puissance d'appui (PJ) d'une vis (14) sur la base d'une valeur de pression détectée au moyen du capteur de pression (27), et commande une unité d'entraînement (18) de telle sorte que la puissance multipliée par un coefficient (K) (1,2 ~ 2,0) devient une puissance d'entraînement (PH) qui est appliquée à la vis (14).
