Feed Throat Cooling…

I just received this question via email…
MM
Most of the plastics raw material data sheet do
not contain the Feed Zone temp. How can we  keep this temp during
production?
My Response
Since this cooling is used to prevent bridging most processor runs this temperature at or near the lowest setting.
The two common reasons a processors will increase this temperature is if 1) the rear heater band cannot maintain the desired setpoint, or 2) condensation is occurring inside the feedthroat.
