variations in extrusion rate or bulk density, the blender maintains accuracy within 0.1%. • Gravimetric colour feeders . For low-throughput lines or secondary “skin-layer” extruders, Maguire supplies the MGF series of feeders, which install directly to the extruder throat. Because the feeder hopper is mounted on load cells that monitor the loss in weight of colourant as the material is fed into the extruder by an auger, the device prevents over-colouring, reduces colour consumption, increases control over product quality, and documents colour usage for each production run. • Extrusion control systems . By compensating for the many process variations typically encountered in extrusion, Maguire’s LineMaster™ extrusion control system makes possible increased product uniformity, savings in raw material, faster startups, quicker job changes, less scrap, and more rapid accommodation to reel or bobbin changes. The heart of the LineMaster system is a loss-in-weight (LIW) hopper mounted on the throat of the extruder. The hopper is suspended on a pair of load cells that continually monitor the weight of the material in the hopper. • Dryers . For resins, additives, and crosslinking catalysts that must be dried before extrusion, Maguire offers every type of desiccant dryer as well as systems that use vacuum to remove moisture. Unavailable from other suppliers, vacuum dryers consume up
