Extrusion International 1/2020 Maguire Products, Inc. www.maguire.com Syncro srl www.syncro-group.it downtime, and costly waste of polymer compound and conduc- tor or optical fiber,” said Paul Edmondson, managingdirector of Maguire Europe. “The Maguire + Syncro extrusion control sys- tem enables the manufacturer to maximize throughput while maintaining tight tolerances, drawing onMaguire’s expertise in control of material handling with Syncro’s expertise in control- ling extrusion lines.” The Maguire + Syncro system is the product of a partnership between Maguire and Italy-based Syncro srl that began in 2016 with Maguire taking an investment position with Syncro, which specializes in controls for all types of extrusion process. The Syn- cro components in the extrusion control system for wire and ca- ble include a master PLC touchscreen controller, digital encoder and tachometer, and a coextrusion interface (one for each layer) that provides polymer consumption data from each additional extruder via theMaguireWXB blender. Because color is a key factor in wire and cable for branding and coding, Maguire also supplies the MGF™ gravimetric feeder, which precisely measures the amount of additive that is fed di- rectly into the extruder throat. “Over-coloring to compensate for possible inaccuracies in color addition is a problembecause it wastes a costly additive and can compromise electrical and me- chanical performance,” said Paul Edmondson. “TheMGF feeder prevents this by automatically recalibrating its dosage rate and holding the letdown ratio to within +/- 0.2%.” Maguire also supplies raw-material vacuum loaders ranging from a compact “mini-central” loader to plant-wide systems. Turnkey systems that includes the Syncro controller and loading, blending, and color feeding equipment from Maguire are avail- able directly from Syncro or can be ordered through Maguire representatives. For an existing production line which includes a standardMaguire GIWblender instead of theWXB unit, the pro- cessor can obtain the new extrusion control capability by install- ing the 4088 controller, an LIWhopper, and the Syncro controller.
