Extrusion Control Systems

Extruder Control Systems That Modernize Aging Extrusion Lines

Upgrade outdated extrusion controls with proven systems designed specifically for plastics processing. Improve process stability, reduce downtime, and bring modern diagnostics to your existing equipment.

TEMPCom® Extruder Control Systems

If your extruder’s barrel, screw, and gearbox are still performing well, upgrading the control system can dramatically improve reliability and process stability. TEMPCom® systems replace outdated controls with modern PLC and HMI technology, giving operators better visibility, faster diagnostics, and more precise process control.

ICT systems support everything from small extrusion lines to complex multilayer operations across plastics manufacturing.

Advanced Extruder Control Interface

Old system designs are a bummer to understand, hard to troubleshoot, lack protective features and can be a real Bummer.  Not you? Don't Fake me out!  Maybe its time to look inside your panels, dude! See those wires that look like a rats nest, those blackened areas where you almost had a FIRE? You know maintenance gave you the skinny that opening the panel would shut you down!  Still not copacetic?  eBay a strategic supplier?  You don't have to be stuck in the 70's forever!  Ask us for a demo!
