Blown Film Modular Extrusion Control System Maximizes Line Efficiency

For the new blown film line, the Maguire ®+ Syncro package includes key production components from material handling to pulling

Aston, PA, USA, October 31, 2019: An innovative blown film extrusion control system can be deployed in new production lines as part of an overall system, providing a single point of monitoring for all line components, or it can be It is used in existing production lines to increase production efficiency and reduce material cos.

Air Ring with Auto Profile Control

For a new blown film extrusion or co-extrusion line, there are three basic components at the heart of the Maguire®+ Syncro extrusion control system: 1) Maguire® WXB ™ Weighing Extrusion Compounder, which integrates a weight gain (GIW) scale A heavy warehouse and a loss-in-weight (LIW) mixing chamber; 2) a Maguire 4088 controller, which controls the loading, mixing, and metering of raw materials during extrusion; and 3) a Syncro® controller, which uses consumption data from the 4088 controller to Control line speed and tracti.

Maguire + SYNCRO Blender & Controls

The Maguire + Syncro system is the product of Maguire's partnership with the Italian company Syncro, which began in 2016, and Maguire's role is to invest in Syncro, which specializes in the control of various extrusion process.

In addition to Syntrol controllers, Syncro supplies key line components including:

◆Air ring and automatic distribution devi.

◆IBC and flat lay contr.

◆ Thickness gauge syst.

◆Rewind.

Complete systems including these components and Maguire's loading and mixing equipment can be obtained directly from Syncro or can be ordered through a Maguire representati.

For existing lines that include standard Maguire gravimetric mixers instead of WXB units, processors can gain new extrusion control capabilities by installing the 4088 controller, loss-in-weight hopper and Syncro controll.

"Advanced extrusion control systems improve accuracy and reliability, enabling blown film processors to maximize output while maintaining tight tolerances, or reduce material consumption by thinning," Maguire Deputy Sales and Marketing President Frank Kavanagh sa.
