Extrusion: Smart Control For Extrusion And Recycling Lines
Define the control and digitalisation scope from operational decisions, equipment interfaces, data ownership, cybersecurity and measurable process outcomes—not from dashboard features alone.
What MAS Digital Plant Control Does
The control concept can centralise operation, alarms, trends, recipes, documentation and selected remote support across connected equipment. Functions depend on the installed controls, sensors, interfaces and agreed software scope.
Benefits Of MAS Digital Control
- Strong process visibility: key operating values and component status in one coordinated interface.
- Consistent operation: centralised control supports repeatable settings and coordinated line operation.
- Recipe and parameter management: defined settings help operators reproduce suitable process conditions.
- Production documentation: machine data supports traceability, reporting and process evaluation.
- Flexible integration: standard industrial interfaces communicate with connected equipment and higher-level systems.
- Remote maintenance and faster troubleshooting: secure remote access plus alarm, trend and status information help teams identify deviations more efficiently.
Energy-Saving Calculator
Digital performance evaluation can support investment and operating-cost decisions. Enter your energy price, output and annual operating hours into the interactive calculator to compare estimated electrical-energy consumption and operating costs for different extrusion configurations. The example below is illustrative and depends on the assumptions entered and actual operating conditions.
| Example (0.25 €/kWh, 2,000 kg/h, 8,000 h/year) | MAS Extruder | Single-Screw Extruder |
|---|---|---|
| Energy consumption | 0.20 kWh/kg | 0.30 kWh/kg |
| Total energy per year | 3,200,000 kWh | 4,800,000 kWh |
| Total electrical-energy cost | €800,000 | €1,200,000 |
| Potential saving per year | 1,600,000 kWh / €400,000 | |
Discuss Your Digitalisation Requirements
Share the line, equipment vendors, controls, required use cases, users, plant systems, data/cybersecurity policies and success metrics. MAS can define a phased scope and validation plan.
