Extrusion Control

All Proton Products Extrusion Controllers:

  • Provide control of insulation diameter or wall thickness.
  • Control insulation extruders or capstan drives.
  • Integrate seamlessly with Proton Products SL and SLR Series Speed and Length Gauges for line speed measurement.
  • Are housed in rugged enclosures to survive harsh industrial environments.
  • Are available in different levels of user-interface and control algorithm sophistication to suit applications and budgets as required.
