Integrated Blending & Extrusion Control

• Maguire’s proven WXB Gravimetric batch blending technology combined with comprehensive loss-in-weight control.
• Batch blending from 2 – 12 materials with dispense accuracy of +/- 0.1% on a 1% setting.
• Integrated Loss-in-Weight control monitoring live consumption rate to an extruder and updating process rate every second.

Maguire + Syncro Syntrol Control

• Maguire + Syncro specialist extrusion control for every type of extrusion process.
• Syntrol touchscreen allows quick and easy setup of extrusion process.
• Easily set process parameters like gram/meter, micron and layer ratios.

Key Benefits of Extrusion Control

• Overall raw materials savings of up to 10% compared to manual regulation.
• Reduced start-up material wastage & changeover scrap.
• Achieve faster startup times.
• Automatically regulate extruder and haul-off speeds to always be on target.
• Eliminate process variations due to screen pack, voltage fluctuations and MFI differences.
• Document clearly materials usage and process parameters for quality, process and cost control.
• Return on investment within 6 months.
• Fast payback by reduced material usage, production scrap, manual intervention and increased productivity.
• Optimize process from constant extrusion control.

Solutions for Every Extrusion Process

Solutions for Extrusion Processes

• Suited to continuous extrusion processes for mono and co-extrusion processes.
• Applications include cable, cast film, blown film, sheet, pipe, tube & profile extrusion.

Maguire+Syncro Control Flexibility

• Detailed control of all materials settings, layer ratio control, & extrusion control.
• Controller allows effective control for mono and co-ex processes, managed from 1 HMI.

Expandable & Modular

• The WXB control is expandable and can be simply integrated with further downstream controls for automatic gauging and process control.
• WXB extrusion control module can easily be retrofitted with other modular components from Maguire + Syncro including air rings, IBC control, Gauging, and in-line recycling.

WXB Blender at a Glance

1. Integrated Loss-in-Weight

The WXB mix chamber is a combined Loss-in Weight hopper which provides live lb/hr (kg/hr) data updated every second.

3. Up to 10% Material Cost Reduction

Up to 10% material cost reduction from automatic gram/meter / micron regulation, quicker start-up and reduced start-up material scrap.

5. Modular Upgrades

Control integrates to allow modular upgrades for air rings, IBC, gauging and a wide range of downstream controls to optimize multiple extrusion processes.

2. Gravimetric Batch Blending

Precise, reliable dosing control for 2 – 12 raw materials, providing material control for every extrusion process.

4. Control Extrusion

Immediate responsive control from setpoint to actual, maximizing on materials formulations, minimizing on material cost.

6. Co-Ex Layer Control

Easily set, monitor and adjust layer ratios and easily manage multi-layer applications.
