Automation and control for extruders.

Bühler – your partner for innovative extru-sion solutions.

With Bühler’s customized automation and control solutions, you can optimize your production and increase

the effi ciency of your extrusion processes. The control concepts improve the effi ciency of the system,

increase fl exibility in day-to-day use and support both quality control and food safety. The high level of

user-friendliness facilitates monitoring and control of the extruder.

• Automatic operation

– Downtime prevented thanks to permanent monitoring

and, if necessary, correction of process-related

factors.

– Production rejects minimized through the automated

start-up and shutdown of the extrusion process.

• Product recipes

– Uniform quality ensured through the use of

product recipes.

• Pre-tempering

– Barrels are pre-heated or cooled to minimize

waiting times at start of production.

• Remote maintenance

– Remote access by Bühler (optional).

Improved efficiency through:

• Comprehensively adjustable system parameters

– The same configurable software is used for all

twin-screw extruder types.

– No programming required when adjusting the

machine configuration. The configuration can be

changed by customers themselves.

– All software functions and the operator interface adjust

in line with the set machine configurations.

Increased flexibility through:

• Intuitive operation via the touch screen panel• Full language switching• Context-sensitive help– Direct display of the required help topic without

long searches.

• Trend logging

– History log of all process-related target and

actual values.

– Job-related long-term archiving of the trend logs.

• FDA conformity in accordance with

“FDA 21CFR part 11”

– Access protected through user management with

freely definable user accounts.

– Errors and messages displayed, including long-term

archiving.

– Long-term event log of user interaction such as

target value changes.

– Print function.

– Printout as a hard copy or PDF file.

• Remote operating stations– Remote operating stations in control rooms (optional).

– Connection to plant control system (optional).

– Change history in product recipes and in the

machine configuration.

– FDA-related data protected against tampering.

• Dosing quantity consumption

– Dosing quantity consumption log.

• Data export

– CSV export of trend log data for use in external

programs.

– Backup and restore function for long-term archives,

product recipes, configuration data, etc.
