The AEC/HydReclaim Optimum OFC Series extrusion control system tracks extruder screw speed and continually learns the rate of each extruder screw revolution. The unit then adjusts the extrusion line
The AEC/HydReclaim Optimum OFC Series extrusion control system tracks extruder screw speed and continually learns the rate of each extruder screw revolution. The unit then adjusts the extrusion line haul-off speed (or optional extruder speed) to keep product weight per length consistent. The OFC unit adjusts for varying product weights, flow characteristics, and varying extrusion pressures, such as plugged screen packs and other factors. You can adjust the OFC unit to a preset weight/length (grams/meter or pounds/foot) specification, or you can set it to hold the existing extrusion parameters set (WYSIWYG—what you see is what you get).
  • Mass flow weigh hopper design for first in – first out material flow eliminates segregation
  • Surge hopper with knife gate reload valve
  • Haul-off or extruder speed control software included - specify at time of order
  • Motorized potentiometer to replace extruder speed pot or haul-off speed pot
  • Two line x 40 character LCD display control panel
