Problem
Are you giving away product due to wall thickness, concentricity and outer diameter variations? Is your scrap rate going thru the roof due to long startup times and out of spec product? Is your extrusion process out of control? Are you having a hard time reporting, analyzing and archiving the process activity?
Solutions
Beta LaserMike DataPro series of process controllers and AS5000 series diameter gauges can help. The DataPro series of process controllers provide real time data collection and picture of your extrusion process by monitoring, controlling, reporting and archiving critical dimensions of the extrusion process. These dimensions can be outer diameter, inner diameter, wall thickness and concentricity. The DataPro series of controllers come complete with a closed loop control feature that can control these parameters by adjusting linespeed, extruder speed, air pressure or vacuum pressure. The DataPro along with an AS5000 diameter gauge will provide you with reduced startup times, decrease material usage, improve and document product quality, and improve data management.

Problem
Are you having issues with reliable blender/mixer for your extrusion process?
Solutions
TSM can help. TSM Extrusion Control means you can reduce your material consumption and wastage while optimizing material usage for consistent product output and receive complete order information for reporting and analysis. TSM Blenders utilize four easily removable hoppers with integrated slide valves and the patented TSM reverse-flight auger mixing technology. This combination provides super-accurate blend ratios and batch homogeneity that cannot be achieved with competitive blenders.
Benefits
|
 |
- Faster order changes
- Higher accuracy dispensing (up tp +/-0.01 of batch)
- Continuous homogeneous mixing, No need to adjust mixing times
- Increased regrind usage
- Increase output with increased material head pressure
- Extrusion control

Problem
Do you know how much compound material is being used in your process? Can this amount be reduced? Is your extruder screw keeping you from achieving higher outputs? Your customers may very well be satisfied with the quality of the product you are delivering, so why invest in making it even better? Because improving the process can have short and long term benefits.

| American Kuhne Steward Barrier Screws can help. By better understanding the dynamics of your extruder and screw can increase cost savings by reducing material used.
Benefits
- A properly designed barrier screw can pay for itself in just a few months with higher output and raw material saving through tighter product tolerances.
- The improved output and dimensional tolerances will reduce your costs thus increasing profit margins.
- The higher output can reduce or eliminate overtime costs further increasing profit margins.
- The new lower costs will make you more competitive in the marketplace.
- Adapts to all makes of extruders

Problem
Does your process seem out of control? Are you having constant out of tolerance conditions with your wall thickness, concentricity and outer diameter on your product? There are many aspects of the extrusion process that can cause these issues. Your crosshead, tip and die can be one of the problems.
Solutions
Guill Tool Crossheads and Tooling can help. The use of Guill precision crossheads and tooling allows for improved tolerance performance resulting in material savings and increased product control. Reduced machine problems provide increased production efficiency.
Benefits
- Improves wall thickness, concentricity and product roundness
- Less down time
- Adapts to all makes of extruders
- All extrusion tools produced using certified and documented quality steel material specifically quailified for the polymer to be extruded
- Stocking Program that assures immediate delivery while at the same time allowing the customer to maintain a small inventory
- Availability of rush orders and attractive pricing

Problem
Are you giving away product due to incorrect length count and do you know how accurate your current length measurement is that is used to calculate the product length provided to your customer? Is the print interval that is being printed by the inkjet printer correct on your product?
Solutions

Beta LaserMike Laserspeed can help. The average contact encoder that is used as a linespeed reference and length measurement has an average accuracy of 1-2% at best. The Laserspeed has an accuracy of .05% and is a non-contact NIST certified device with no moving parts. This difference in accuracy can be a substantial cost savings over a short period of time. The LaserSpeed will increase your profits by reducing scrap and improving uptime.
Benefits
- Non-Contact: No marking the product
- No Wear: No moving parts
- Accurate: 20-40 times more accurate than contact methods
- Permanently Calibrated: Increased uptime
