EXTRUSION SOLUTIONS FROM EXTRUSION EXPERTS

Virtual Extrusion Laboratory - Side Fed Die Module


The COMPUPLAST® VEL™, Side Fed Die module™  is used for the analysis and design of all types of side fed dies or cross-head dies that are typically used in pipe and cable coating or blow molding industry

Using either a Control Volume Method (CVM) of mathematical analysis, or a fully 3D Finite Element Method (FEM), this module can provide the user with an accurate prediction of the expected die performance. 

The user-friendly, intuitive interface and CVM solution technique allows the user to optimize designs quickly and easily.


The VEL™, Side Fed Die module has been developed with the extrusion process engineer in mind. 

Many world class extrusion die manufacturers use the VEL™ Side Fed Die module as a part of their daily design procedures

Many processors and technical service personnel use this module to study and analyze the effect of resin changes on their process.
