Topic: Nylon 6/6 Not Extruding

It starts out fine, then it fluctuates. It surges like crazy. We dry the material, so that couldn’t be the problem.
The zone temperatures are:
Z1:482
Z2:499
Z3:480
Z4: 495
Z5: 484
And the die is at 510.
I keep convincing my dad that it’s clogged.
He thinks there’s not enough pressure in the barrel.
(We were able to run 30 rolls on our NRM extruder and it worked great until it just messed up out of nowhere (no changes) and we weren’t able to get it started again. Now we moved to the Johnson and it’s the same problem.)
