ANDRITZ Extrusion Control is an automation solution designed specifically for extrusion processes in animal feed, aquafeed, pet food and biofuel production. Built on ANDRITZ's extensive extrusion process and machine expertise, it coordinates the equipment and critical process parameters required for stable, efficient and repeatable production.

The solution controls the extrusion process from raw-material feeding and conditioning through steam, water and liquid addition, extruder operation and product cutting. Temperature, pressure, motor load, feed rate and other critical process conditions are continuously monitored and controlled. Automated sequences, PID control, interlocks and overload protection help maintain stable operating conditions while protecting the operator, process and equipment.

ANDRITZ Extrusion Control can operate as a standalone machine-control solution or integrate seamlessly as a process module within the ANDRITZ plant control system. It can also communicate with related process equipment such as ANDRITZ dryers and coaters, providing coordinated operation across the extrusion line.
