An extrusion process is controlled by feeding the material to be extruded from a supply station (5) to an extruder (1) and repeatedly weighing the supply station to calculate the throughput of the extruder. The initial line speed necessary to produce a predetermined weight/meter of extrudate is calculated and the line speed is adjusted accordingly. Subsequently, the throughput and the line speed are increased simultaneously, such that the weight/meter is maintained substantially constant until any one of a plurality of parameters such as line speed, screw speed, motor load current, extrudate temperature, melt pressure, etc reaches a predetermined maximum value. Thereafter either the line speed or extruder throughput is adjusted such as to maintain the weight/meter of the extrudate substantially constant at the desired value. |
