Sikora now offers three Ecocontrol premium processor systems with 22-in., 15-in. or 8.4 in. thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display screens. All models are characterized by their simple and intuitive touch screen operation and a clearly arranged display.

Recorded production data can be stored on the internal SSD hard disk or directly on a server (Ethernet). Production reports (time, length and batch based) are also available for all Eco models, which are used in quality control as well as in daily production to document product quality over a defined period of time.

Moreover, the Ecocontrol series has all standard market interfaces, such as fieldbus or OPC UA, to conveniently transfer measurement data to the plant control system or server structures. The devices are therefore said to be Industry 4.0 ready and ideally suited for use in modern tube and pipe extrusion lines with increasing levels of automation.

In addition to the display and documentation of measured data, the Ecocontrol series offers its own automatic control with the setpoint module. Here, the processor system automatically modifies the haul-off speed or the extruder speed to control to the nominal value of the wall thickness.

The Ecocontrol models thereby enable a higher degree of automation (especially for older extrusion lines) and guarantee maximum process reliability with increased productivity and simultaneous compliance with the given specifications.
