Rosendahl Mass Flow Control: 75% less copper scrap

With every start-up process you lose around 320€ worth of copper. Depending on the configuration, it needs around 6 minutes until the line is running stable. Within these 6 minutes you produce around 6000 m worth of scrap.
Imagine you could reduce this by 75% to only 1500 m. With the Rosendahl Mass Flow Control System (RMFC) you can do just that. The RMFC regulates the gas flow with the parameters being part of the recipe. It adjusts the flow automatically, independent from the pressure of the booster throughout the whole production. By that you can reach your result much faster.
In addition to that the automatic system guarantees perfect repeatability. The maintenance free solution can be integrated as an upgrade into all Rosendahl machines with easy plug & play RIO integration. It comes as an independent box with all necessary connections with no extra calibration required. The stand-alone-version has its own control terminal and a PLC.

RGIV: Self-locking valve for solid and foam extrusion
Want to save even more? Combine your RMFC with the Rosendahl Gas Injector Valve (RGIV) to speed up your process even more. The self-locking system can be left in the extruder. So you can produce solid- and foam-recipes without dismantling the equipment. Helping you to reduce changeover-time.

Together with the line control RIO, we provide perfect process stability and repeatability. Because inline quality monitoring of all relevant process parameters and an online FFT system.
With this we guarantee highest quality and productivity of the extrusion line.
