Alan Landers, the Extrusion Product Manager for Conair, introduces three new extrusion products launched at NPE 2009. The first is an extrusion control blender. Next he demonstrates a closed loop edge-trim system that pulls the scrap, conveys, grinds, then returns it to the hopper to be re-introduced to the extrusion process. Finally, he walks through a loss and weight system for extrusion control where weight per length is important. (6 min)
Conair manufactures and assembles its products at one fully integrated, 120,000-sq.-ft. plant in Franklin, PA, where employees handle everything from laser cutting of sheet metal to final assembly and painting.
