kg/m- control on a single extruder line
Features
Throughput or weight per length control are successful strategies to achieve optimal performance and quality in pipe extrusion and its products.
On enhanced control we offer function which are special for pipe extrusion like:
- Calibration values necessary in ultrasonic thickness measurement derived from an average thickness around the circumference of a pipe
- partial increase of thickness for pipe fittings synchronous to saw control
- Indication of material usage
- Savings in material usage by reducing set-points to a minimum
Co-extrusion on a pipe line
Features
For multi-layer pipes we offer GraviSys based on Simatic S7-1200 to achieve requirements as:
- Thickness control on each single layer
- Coordination of extruder and haul-off operation in the start-up phase of production.
- Quality monitoring of relevant process values
- Operating interface quickly to learn and easy to use
