      Drive Guardian

      The Drive Built to Speak Plastic Extruder

      Most variable frequency drives are general-purpose — they weren't designed with your extruder in mind. The Drive Guardian changes that. It's the first drive engineered specifically for plastic extrusion, with built-in monitoring that catches pressure spikes, thermal stress, and mechanical wear before they become costly downtime.

          Contact Us

          What does an extruder control system upgrade involve?

          An extruder control upgrade replaces outdated drive systems, PLC controls, and operator interfaces with modern automation hardware. This improves reliability, simplifies troubleshooting, and provides real-time process monitoring that older systems often lack.

          Why convert extrusion drives from DC to AC?

          AC drives are more efficient, easier to maintain, and more widely supported than legacy DC drives. Many extrusion facilities upgrade to AC systems because DC motors and drives are increasingly expensive to repair or replace.

          Can ICT retrofit existing extrusion lines?

          Yes. ICT specializes in retrofitting legacy extrusion systems with modern controls. This allows manufacturers to extend the life of their existing extruders while improving reliability and performance.

          How quickly can systems be delivered?

          Many ICT systems are pre-engineered and stocked, allowing them to be assembled and shipped quickly. In some cases, drive packages can be delivered within days to help manufacturers minimize production downtime.

          Get Your Extruder Out of The 70's!

          Your extrusion line may still be running like it did in the 70s — but your production demands certainly aren’t. Integrated Control Technologies helps manufacturers upgrade legacy controls, drives, and automation systems with modern solutions designed for today’s extrusion operations.
