INTELECS™ COEX is built on a solid foundation of the hard-real-time operating system to ensure the highest degree of reliability. The system offers many advanced features such as recipe handling, gauge profile monitoring, pre-defined schedule with temperature profiles for the gradual heating of extruders and die, production reports and statistical process control functions.
INTELECS™ COEX
Functional Specifications:
- Maintains gauge, width and layer composition of the final film product.
- Controls all line operating parameters including temperatures, co-extrusion layer ratio and haul-off speed (line speed).
- Maintains the desired temperature profiles for all extruders and die zones according to the recipe of the product being made.
- Controls extruder speeds according to the gravimetric monitoring of the material flow and desired gauge of every layer in the multilayer film structure.
- Controls the blending process either directly or via an interface to a third- party batch blending system.
- Performs gauge profile monitoring (optional, requires infrared or ultrasonic sensor).
- Provides real-time trending for all major line parameters.
- Performs alarms monitoring.
- Generates reports (per roll, order, shift, etc.).
