What's new? A system that uses infrared sensors to monitor the extruded strands for breakage. Feddem is offering the system as an option on extruders with screw diameters as large as 72mm.

Benefits Dependability. Because it uses infrared technology, the new system is unaffected by water or steam emerging from the die head and water bath.
