Abstract

See full text

An extrusion system (10) is provided having an extruder (12), raw material input apparatus (14), dryer (16) and controller (18). The system (10) is equipped with strategically placed analyzers (22-26) designed to measure important parameters of the material input and the final extrudates; the analyzers (22-26) are coupled to controller (18), the latter also being operatively connected to the system components (12-16) for real-time operational control thereof. The analyzers (22-26) are preferably designed to generate analysis signals which pass through a cross-section of the material or extrudate, such as ultrasound, NIR or microwave analyzers.
