PDQ Series Extruder Control Systems

Standardized Control Across Every Line—Without Cutting Corners

When you've installed as many extruder control systems as ICT, you figure out what operators, maintenance crews, and management teams actually need. The PDQ Series was built around that knowledge — delivering a consistent experience across your entire organization, from the operator interface to panel layout to process data, all at a lower cost and faster delivery because the engineering is already done.

Blown Film Line Control Built for Mono to Multi-Layer

Whether you're running a simple mono-layer line or a complex 5-layer setup, ICT's PDQ blown film control solution is engineered to protect your investment and keep your line running. The PDQMono is purpose-built for smaller lines with flexible options, while our proven code and intuitive interface make sure every operator — new or experienced — can run it with confidence.

Compounder Control That Keeps Your Line in the Money

Downtime on a compounding line means lost production and lost revenue. ICT's PDQ compounder control system is built to prevent that — with operator safeguards, preventative diagnostics, and plain-language troubleshooting that tells your team exactly what's wrong and where. Whether you're upgrading an aging system or outfitting a new line, our proven code has been doing this a long time.

Film and Sheet Line Control for Mono to 5-Layer Operations

Film and sheet lines demand precise, reliable control — and ICT delivers it. From integrated chill roll coordination (CRC) to built-in melt pump control, our PDQ solution handles the complexity of your line without requiring add-on systems or separate vendors. One proven platform, consistent control, and the process data you need to keep quality high and downtime low.

Pipe Extrusion Control That Knows the Territory

Pipe lines have their own quirks, and ICT knows them well. The PDQPipe is engineered with the experience to ask the right questions up front and account for the variability that pipe extrusion demands. No need to go back to the original manufacturer for a costly upgrade — our field-proven system is ready to take over and keep your line running.

Profile Extrusion Control That's Ready When You Are

Profile extrusion doesn't have to mean a complicated, expensive control upgrade. ICT's PDQ profile solution is built on proven, fully developed code that's been tested across real production environments — so you're not the test case. Intuitive for operators, straightforward for maintenance, and accessible for management, it covers everything your profile line needs from a single platform.

Wire and Cable Line Control With Drive Coordination Built In

Wire and cable lines require tight coordination between the extruder and downstream drives — and ICT's PDQ solution is built to handle it. With the same proven code base, intuitive color-enhanced interface, and preventative diagnostics as our full PDQ line, your wire and cable operation gets consistent, reliable control without the complexity of piecing together multiple systems.

Pelletizer Control That Keeps Production Moving

If your pelletizing line goes down, you stop making product. ICT's PDQ pelletizer control system is designed to prevent that — with built-in operator safeguards, predictive diagnostics that warn you before failures happen, and precise troubleshooting that gets you back up fast when they do. Proven code, faster delivery, and the same standardized experience your team already knows.
