Good morning! Our extrusion report from NPE2024 continues with CPM's new Global eXtruder Technology line, which will have a standard design no matter where in the world it's made, for faster delivery and budget-friendliness.

Also at NPE, R&B Plastics Machinery debuted its new RBS-E550D blow molding machine, offering flexibility, energy efficiency and the ability to run tri-layer applications. Read more about both below, along with a temperature controller from Oerlikon HRSflow and software from ACS Group. 

Finally, sister publication IndustryWeek alerts us to an essay contest run by and for teens who are passionate about manufacturing.
