The Harrel "BOBCAT" Series of GEARTRUDERS^®

• A COMBINATION OF A RUGGED AND RELIABLE EXTRUDER, with a precision gear pump, a digital drive, and a CP-644 DIGIPANEL^® control system for control of the system -- all designed and built by Harrel.
  
  Differs from TIGER series in that it uses the CP-644 DIGIPANEL^® controller and thus does not have the sophisticated dimension control capabilities of the TIGER series. It also has a conventional screw instead of the screw with two mixers of the TIGER units.
  
  
• GEAR PUMP GIVES MUCH, MUCH MORE STABLE OUTPUT -- typically 0.1% vs. 5% - 10% for an extruder alone!

• GEAR PUMP GIVES INCREASED OUTPUT. -- typically 15-25% higher throughput with an extruder/gear pump combination than with an extruder used alone!
  
  
• LOWER MELT TEMPERATURES. -- Melt pumps are much more efficient pumps than extruders, so less heat energy is imparted to plastic in generating the pressure to force it through the die!
  
  
• REDUCED ENERGY USAGE. -- Higher efficiency of melt pump means less energy is used.

* A RUGGED AND RELIABLE EXTRUDER -- designed and built by Harrel!

• HEAVY DUTY KOELLMANN GEAR BOX -- the standard of the industry.
  • DOUBLE REDUCTION HELICAL GEARS, hardened and ground. Much higher efficiency than worm gears.
  • BUILT-IN THRUST BEARING -- with spherical roller bearings, L-10 life measured in decades.
• RUGGED, WELDED STEEL FRAME.
• EASILY REPLACEABLE bimetallic barrel with Xaloy 102 liner. Optional Xaloy 800 barrel.
• DESIGNED FOR 10,000 PSI operating pressure.
• SAFETY BLOW-OUT PLUG ahead of screens.
• BREAKER PLATE AND SCREENS in head.
• TAP FOR PRESSURE SENSOR ahead of screens.

* HIGH PRECISION MELT PUMP -- designed and built by Harrel!

• EXTREMELY RUGGED!
• PRESSURES TO 10,000 LBS/SQ IN
• 12 SIZES -- FROM 0.14 CC/REV TO 750 CC/REV
• MOUNTED ON CONVENIENT SWING GATE -- Easily swung out of the way to permit pulling screw.
• BACKED BY HARREL'S 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE making precision melt pumps.
• FORMS AVAILABE FOR PVC OR FLUOROPOLYMERS!

* FIELD-PROVEN CP-644 DIGIPANEL^® CONTROLLER -- designed and built by Harrel!

• FAR SUPERIOR IN PERFORMANCE TO DISCRETE CONTROLLERS!
• COLOR FLAT SCREEN DISPLAY -- Shows temperatures, pressures, and speeds. Can show all zones, or just the critical melt pressures, speeds, and motor loads (Readable from 25 feet away!)
• DEEP WELL SENSING -- controls temperature down near plastic, where it counts!
• "DUOSENSE" DEEP-AND-SHALLOW sensing optional.
• CONTROLS UP TO 22 ZONES -- Full PID with separate trims on heating and cooling for best performance.
• CLOSED LOOP CONTROL OF MELT TEMPERATURE.
• CLOSED LOOP CONTROL OF MELT PRESSURE
• MONITORS SCREW RPM AND CURRENT.
• DIGISYNCH CONTROL OF MELT PUMP SPEED.
• TWO-STAGE SAFETY PRESSURE MONITOR -- First level warns operators; second shuts system down!
