Durex Industries

The TAM style adjustable melt bolt thermocouple probe has a movable probe activated by an inner screw mechanism. The probe can be immersed into or withdrawn from the plastic melt stream while the extruder is in full operation at maximum flow rates and pressures.

Reliable and robust industrial thermocouples provide fast temperature response, can be applied in most temperature measurement and control applications, and are a cost effective solution. A thermocouple junction is a single point junction between two dissimilar metals. This junction creates a known millivolt level signal that changes as the process temperature increases or decreases. The millivolt signal is used as the temperature measurement input to a temperature controller. Depending on an application's process temperature range, accuracy specifications, and material compatibility, thermocouples are available in Type E, Type J, Type K, Type R, Type S, Type T and other dissimilar metals. Durex Industries manufactures thermocouples that can be designed with grounded or ungrounded junctions and housed in insulated sheath materials that are designed for best form fit in the applications.
