...Reap the Benefits of Modern Extrusion Technology with:

Other industries have been enjoying the many benefits that Simulation has to offer. Today, injection mold analysis by computer is standard operating procedure. Even cars and airplanes are designed entirely by computer.

The Future in Extrusion Technology can be Utilized by You Today!

• With EXTRUD^®-2000 you have the key to get a look inside your extruder. Find out the cause of surging, excessive melt temperatures, poor product quality

Get the solution with simulation

• Computer Simulation gives you the time you need to investigate different operating conditions, new equipment, better screw designs and changing resins.

EXTRUD^®-2000 is the tool you need to open up your extrusion process. You no longer have to guess at the proper set up of your extruder, EXTRUD^®-2000 guides you to it. Find out how changes in your barrel temperature profile effect your product quality and production rate. New products and resins are now a snap to run.

Here are some typical applications of extrusion simulation in your plant.

• Process Improvement - Evaluate your extrusion process with this powerful engineering tool that gives you a look at what happens inside your extruder barrel. Investigate new approaches to processing without wasting time or material. Quickly solve processing problems and increase the production rate of your extrusion lines!
• Employee Training - Train your process and design engineers along with your technicians on State-of-the-Art Simulation Technology. Give your employees months of practical experience in just days of simulation time.
• Resin Evaluation - Select the proper resin that fits your equipment and processing needs. Choose from a data base of over 5,000 different resins. Maximize your production time and leave trial and error to the simulator. Save time, money and sleepless nights.
