BCtouch UX Battenfeld-Cincinnati has updated all of its extruders with this controller, which is also available as a retrofit. With a design similar to smartphones, the multitouch controller features move and slide functions and intuitive navigation. In addition to the central operating terminal, additional terminals can be integrated easily along the line.

What's new? The controller. It is shown on Battenfeld-Cincinnati's new solEX NG single-screw extruder, which made its debut at the K show.

Benefits Greater connectivity, and the ability to view at a glance the process status of the entire line. With the BCtouch UX, all process parameters, as well as operating management issues, such as maintenance and energy consumption, are centrally monitored.
