Control systems for extrusion and compounding

The use of control systems

Central operation, optimized control and continuous monitoring ensure a considerable improvement in the quality of your end-product.

The maax® automation systems by MAAG guarantee optimal protection and operation of extrusion gear pump systems, melt pump systems and screen changers.

Solutions vary from automation to integration of melt pumps and screen changers into the extrusion line, upgrading coextrusion lines up to equipping complete and complex extrusion and compounding plants in the polymer extrusion industry. Do you need to retrofit your extrusion line? The maax® 3S is dedicated for this!
