Process Control Corp
Machines for electric cables and optical fibers
Company Overview
Process Control Corporation, established in 1967, is a recognized supplier of plastics machinery, specializing in high-accuracy resin blending and pellet/powder processing equipment. The company's offerings are designed to support plastics manufacturers globally, focusing on enhancing production efficiency, blend homogeneity, and cost-effectiveness through advanced technology and proven systems.
Product and Service Portfolio
The company provides a comprehensive range of solutions for material processing. Its gravimetric blenders include the Guardian® Series 2 Batch Blender, noted for its simplicity of operation and precise dispensing, ensuring high blend homogeneity at a competitive cost. The X Series 2 Continuous Blender further delivers optimal blend accuracy and homogeneity for diverse applications, from extruder to mezzanine mounting, preserving the blend without de-mixing. For extrusion processes, the proprietary Gravitrol® Software automates line control, consistently holding extruder output to within an impressive +/- 0.5%, which translates to uniform product quality and reduced operational costs.
Process Control Corporation also offers ASR® (Automatic Scrap Recycling) systems, which are instrumental for significant cost reduction and a rapid return on investment in processes like blown film, cast film, tape, and extrusion coating. Complementary material handling systems span from robust railcar unloading and bulk storage solutions to advanced vacuum and pressure conveying systems for efficient in-plant material distribution. Precision resin powder feeders, such as the PF Series, provide unprecedented accuracy from ultra-low rates up to 6000 pph, featuring steep walls and easy cleanout. Additionally, volumetric and gravimetric additive feeders, including micro feeders, are designed to precisely inject color concentrates or other additive-type materials directly into a material stream at the feed throat of an extruder or molding machine. A recently introduced Guardian® batch blending system caters specifically to powder and pellet mixes, accommodating up to 8 different materials within a compact, dust-tight design, leveraging Process Control's well-known accuracy standards.
Technological Advantage
A core aspect of Process Control Corporation's offering is its unwavering commitment to accuracy and control. The company designs sophisticated electronic and mechanical feed controls to minimize blend deviations, thereby creating a more stable set point and ensuring consistent results from the very first batch and every batch thereafter. This dedication to precision and efficiency positions them as a standard-setter in gravimetric batch and continuous blending, as well as automatic recycling, providing robust solutions that contribute to a quick return on investment for their clients in the plastics manufacturing industry.
