NPE Booth W1601
SG-75 This Milacron extruder will be one of the highlights for the company at NPE. The SG —or single-grooved — series of extruders is designed to provide a consistent homogeneous melt for producing PE and PP pipes. Other components in the static NPE display will include a new Milacron-designed PH 250 die head, a vacuum calibration tank from Sandern, an Inoex Warp Gauge, and a puller and cutter from Sica.
What’s new? An upgraded tablet pendant control, based on Milacron’s Mosaic+ controller system, which the company is introducing at NPE. The as-yet unnamed control also will be available for Milacron’s twin-screw extruders. Customers will be able to order extruders with the new control, which will be available later this year.
Benefits Full production line integration, including upstream and downstream equipment, via the new control. Users of the control will have access to web-based programming and configurability of screens, with other features to be introduced in the future. The display at NPE will showcase Milacron’s expansion into new offerings, including offering integrated solutions for full production lines.
