UPDATE RECIPE
Poor speed regulation, non-servo drives, proprietary non-communicative microprocessor controls and more have resulted in an industry that relies on the operator experience and intervention for proper setup and performance.
Chances are if your father worked in downstream tube or profile extrusion, he had the same basic downstream equipment you have now.
Pullers, cutters, saws and cooling tanks are one of the few areas that technology seems to have left alone in a world that keeps doubling innovation yearly.
