BPCTouch KraussMaffei Berstorff has upgraded all of its twin-screw compounding extruders in the ZE BluePower, ZE UTX and ZE Basic lines with a new control. All downstream components can easily be integrated into the BPCTouch control, which is able to measure the energy consumption of the extruder and peripheral equipment.
What's new? The control and its ergonomic 21.5-inch interface, which is easy to clean and suited for use in dusty or humid environments. KraussMaffei Berstorff launched the controller at the K show.
Benefits Very simple operation and reduced set-up times for product changes. BPCTouch's software features a clear menu structure to guide the user through all process steps.
