About this app

POLYTAKT™ is the essential digital companion for professional injection moulders, process engineers, and setting technicians. Designed for the shop floor, POLYTAKT provides a comprehensive suite of offline calculators, scientific studies, and troubleshooting guides to help you optimize processes, solve defects, and document your machine setups.

NO INTERNET REQUIRED Built for the realities of the factory floor, the core POLYTAKT toolkit runs entirely offline. Calculate crucial parameters underneath the machine without relying on a cell signal.

CORE TOOLKIT (FREE)
• Shot Size Calculator – Convert between volume and weight using material melt densities.
• Material Lookup – Fast reference for melt temps, mold temps, and drying parameters for common polymers.
• Clamp Force Estimator – Calculate required machine tonnage based on projected area and material flow limits.
• Cooling Time – Estimate theoretical cooling requirements based on part thickness and thermal diffusivity.
• Water Flow – Determine the required flow rate to achieve turbulent cooling in your mold circuits.
• Gate Shear Rate – Quickly check if your gate dimensions and fill time are within safe shear limits.
• Troubleshooting Guide – A quick-reference matrix for solving common visual defects.
• Essential Converters – Instantly switch between Metric and Imperial for Pressure, Temperature, Speed, and Weight.

SCIENTIFIC MOLDING SUITE
Take the guesswork out of process setup with our step-by-step Scientific Studies module. Follow structured workflows to establish reproducible processes:
• Viscosity Curve Study (In-Mold Rheology)
• Cavity Balance Study
• Gate Seal (Gate Freeze) Study
• Pressure Drop Analysis

(Note: Pro features including Cloud Condition Sheets and the upcoming Community Hub will be available in future updates).
