Medium Voltage AC VFD Drives for Plastic Extruder Machines
Extrusion machines are used to create product by forcing raw material, such as plastic, through a die. Extruders are used to create a wide range of products such as tubing, sheet goods, and insulation. Food processing is a popular application for extruders. Extruders employ a main drive motor to supply power to a screw, which provides the force necessary to push the raw material through the die.
Application Challenges
Features of G7 matching extruder application
| Features | Benefits | 
| Open Loop Vector and V/Hz Control with Torque Compensation | Provides excellent breakaway torque for thick materials and constant torque to maintain mixing speeds under heavy loads. | 
| Overtorque Detection | Provides early warning of damaging torque levels as a result of seizing mixer blades. | 
| Torque Reference programmable to an analog output | The applied mixing torque is fine tuned or adjustable for different material. | 
| Preset frequency reference | Preset mixing patterns can be established for different materials. | 
| Auto-Restart after momentary power loss | Mixing can quickly restart after fault or momentary power loss. This keeps perishable foods from spoiling in process. | 
| Power loss Ride-Through | The mixing process in not interrupted during brief power loss (< 5 ms). |

Tips:
	A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor. A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives. Since the voltage is varied along with frequency, these are sometimes also called VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) drives.
