Plast-Control Inc.
Plast-Control Inc. in Newburyport, Mass., showed its smallest, least expensive extrusion control yet, the GT3, for continuous loss-in-weight extrusion control. It measures only 10 x 6 x 8 in. and tracks three weigh signals, controlling up to three ingredients at the extruder throat. (Previously Plast-Control's smallest system was for nine components.) It displays production reports and interfaces with a printer or Ethernet network. The GT3 costs around $17,000 including mechanical devices, computer, and software.Plast-Control also showed the first version of a new central networking system that ties all its systems to a host computer via Ethernet links for two-way transmission of setpoints and data.
