MicroAir Regulator for Profile Extrusion

MicroAir regulators are available with three control interface types: manual control via a precise 30-turn adjustment knob (MicroAir I), contact closure input for connection to diameter gauges or external controllers (MicroAir II), and 0–10V analog input for PLC or automated system integration (MicroAir IV). Each suits different levels of automation in profile extrusion lines.

Channel count depends on your extrusion tooling. Single-channel units suit simple profile extrusion, dual-channel units handle two independent air circuits, and 3- or 4-channel MultiAir units are designed for multi-lumen tubing or complex profiles requiring separate pressure control per lumen or cavity.

MicroAir I and II series regulators have a standard response time of approximately 2 minutes to full scale, suitable for steady-state profile extrusion. MicroAir IV series units offer high-speed response of less than 0.1 second (typically 20 milliseconds for 50% of full scale), ideal for dynamic or bump-and-taper applications.

Yes. The MicroAir IV series accepts a 0–10V analog input, making it fully compatible with PLCs and other automated control devices. This allows seamless integration into existing extrusion control systems for programmable, repeatable pressure profiles without manual intervention.

MicroAir regulators are built for long-term industrial use with an expected service life of 10 to 20 years or more. Their low-maintenance design, stainless steel enclosure, and damping fluid mechanism contribute to exceptional durability. All units also include a 3-year warranty on parts and labor from the manufacturer.

No calibration is required. MicroAir regulators are factory-set and maintain precise, stable pressure regulation without periodic recalibration. The hysteresis-free regulating action and viscostatic damping ensure consistent performance over the full lifespan of the unit, reducing maintenance overhead on your production line.
