Process Control and Monitoring
As raw material and energy costs increase and profitability declines, the value of real-time, online process monitoring and control is high, ensuring products are produced consistently to specification.
Density and Level
Our non-contacting gamma density system mounts externally on pipes to minimize installation costs and our integrated, continuous gamma level system ensures overflow protection for vessels.
Spectroscopy
Monitor product quality using Near Infrared spectroscopy to control and optimize polymer production.
Process Gas Analysis
From feedstock monitoring to density measurement, our process mass spectrometer analyzes gases in real time without sacrificing ease-of-use or simple maintenance.
Viscosity
Our process control rheometer provides online measurements of viscosity and the flow index.
Bulk Weighing and Monitoring
We provide point level or continuous level measurement of raw materials stored in silos or bins. Our weighbelt feeders, loss-in-weight feeders and impact weighers offer precise measurement, blending and feeding to improve efficiency and minimize waste.
Extrusion Control
Our automatic extrusion control solution for AutoDie provides faster control at significantly higher precision, resulting in improved product quality, reduced material consumption and increased productivity.
Calendar Control
Multiple control loops continuously monitor and adjust each zone by roll bend, cross axis, gap, feed forward, calendar runout compensation and delta preset to rapidly reduce the average, crown and tilt errors. Improve quality, yield, consistency and reduce scrap.
Air Ring Control
Ensure gauge uniformity of the bubble on a blown film line by controlling the orifices of the air ring, which provides excellent reduction in cross directional film variation, scrap and product change-over time.
Roll Coating Control
Control the gap between the rolls for fast and precise coating thickness over the substrate, resulting in a consistent production output.
Lamination
Ensure accurate measurement of layers, including the substrates and adhesives, which can improve uniformity and ensure adequate adhesion for structural integrity. Also, lower raw material consumption and reduce waste.
