⚗️ Plastics and rubber ERP · Compound management
Keep every formula in PHR with approved versions, scale it to each mixer, weigh each ingredient against tolerance and record the mix. Rheometer and Mooney results decide release, and every batch carries its cost and raw material lots.
Adjust the PHR of each ingredient. The ERP works out the share by weight, density, cost per kg and kilograms for a 160 kg mixer batch. Example tyre tread style compound and prices.
The mixer's temperature curve is recorded for each batch, with each addition and the dump point. A batch that dumps outside its window is flagged. Example mix.
The moving die rheometer measures torque as the compound cures. Change the test temperature to see the curve shift. The band shows the MH spec. Example curve, simplified model.
Blend the masterbatch let-down ratio and see how close the colour gets to the approved standard. ΔE under 1.0 is usually invisible to the eye. Example.
Nine connected features. Each links to the related part of the ERP.

It keeps rubber and plastic formulas under control, scales them to each mixer, weighs and mixes each batch against the formula, records test results such as rheometer and Mooney, and releases only batches that meet spec, with costs and traceability.
Parts per hundred rubber. Every ingredient is expressed relative to 100 parts of polymer. It makes formulas easy to compare and scale, whatever the batch size.
The ERP converts PHR to kilograms for the mixer's fill weight, based on chamber volume, fill factor and compound density, and can round to full bags.
Each ingredient's share by weight is multiplied by its price, then divided by the total batch weight. The ERP updates cost as prices change and can show the effect of a price rise before you buy.
A moving die rheometer (MDR) measures torque as the compound cures. Minimum torque (ML), maximum torque (MH), scorch time (ts2) and cure time (t90) are checked against the spec before release.
Yes. Colour recipes, let-down ratios and spectrophotometer ΔE results are recorded, and approved colours are locked to their recipe version.
Each change creates a new version that must be approved. Batches show which version they used, which helps with customer approvals and complaints.
Yes. The same features work for PVC, filled PP, TPE and masterbatch made on extruders, with percentages by weight instead of PHR where you prefer.
About 5 weeks, including connecting scales, the mixer and the rheometer.
