Auxiliary Equipment:

Automatic overload protection to prevent extruder damage

The Model B Load Control monitors extruder motor current draw, alerting the machine operator to excess motor amperage and shutting the extruder down, if necessary, to prevent damage, downtime and maintenance costs.

Operator early warning system

The Model B’s lower set point serves as an early warning system. It triggers warning devices (horns or flashing lights) when amperage reaches the first limit. Without resolution, the second, higher set point triggers an automatic shut-down to prevent extruder damage (this is a latching alarm and must be reset after it’s been tripped).

We configure the Model B before shipping and include set-up and operations instructions for adjustments.
