WXB Gravimetric Blender

The WXB Gravimetric Batch Blender includes a fully integrated Loss-in-Weight mix chamber for all extrusion processes.

• Automate material usage control for all extrusion processes
• Raw material savings up to 10%
• Return on investment within 8-12 months

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 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.
