Product Description

P304 ¼ DIN Melt Pressure Indicator / Controller

The Eurotherm piccolo™ P304i Melt Pressure indicator and P304c controller offer versatile solutions with advanced features and a wide range of hardware options that make them ideal for all types of plastic processing.

The Invensys Eurotherm piccolo™ P304i Melt Pressure indicator and P304c controller offer versatile solutions with advanced features and a wide range of hardware options that make them ideal for all types of plastic processing. Both units have a 50ms sample rate to give the fastacting control and alarm functionality required in the plastics industry. The P304c controller provides outstanding control performance in an affordable package for a wide variety of pressure sensors.

The P304i is a fully programmable indicator with a single input configured for melt pressure measurement and the choice of wiring either strain gauge or amplified transducers to the unit. An optional second input provides an additional facility for differential pressure measurement if required. The update time for each channel is 50ms to respond to very fast processes. To provide full process measurement, the second input can be configured for either Thermocouple or RTD temperature measurement. Three preconfigured and ready to use alarms are associated to the process to detect high and low pressure conditions. A flexible alarm strategy enables shutdown of extruder at dangerous pressure levels.
