One of the line’s features most liked by Haremar’s corporate vice president Mark Lichtblau is Battenfeld Gloucester’s Extrol® integrated line control system. It monitors and controls the entire line from resin handling through the extrusion and web handling processes. Operators are able to access and view real-time, critical line information, including raw material inventory levels, the number of rolls made, footage on a roll and shift reports. Data points can be exported to any Windows®-based spreadsheet or database program for trending and analysis. “All the diagnostics, trends and data make a good operator better,” points out Lichtblau. “Rather than operating on assumptions, this confirms assumptions.”
