The West PlastX Series Temperature Controller features the PlastX6 (1/16 DIN controller) and PlastX8 (1/8 DIN controller) which are designed specifically for plastic extrusion processes. Users benefit from a simple menu structure with pre-populated setup fields with default parameters for plastic applications. Control options for both the PlastX6 and PlastX8 include Heat, Heat/Cool as well as offering setpoint ramping to help protect against heater burn out.
The versatile PlastX controller can also be used as a standalone process indicator to measure melt temperature.
