Automation system for extrusion process
maax series Maag Pump Systems

Integrating new components into an existing extrusion or compounding line
calls for modifications to the control technology. The coordination of these
components poses a huge challenge. The maax 9 automation system is
the ideal solution for integrating melt pumps and screen changers.
It simplifies operation, control and adjustment of the operating parameters.
Integrated statistical functions and process data storage enable a transparent
quality management system. Plant flexibility is also enhanced by the
effect of additional features, e.g. on pump inlet pressure over the setpoint
value (pump inlet pressure control).
Method of operation:
* Quick error detection via plain text messages
* Automatic run-up to initial start speed
* Pressure controlled operation from start
* Integrated filter monitoring
* Monitoring and data logging of all required process values (data recording)
* Integrated temperature control of plant components
* Quick and precise control of pump admission pressure
