Protherm controllers feature an advanced process controller and a full-colour display with customizable graphics. Models are available with an industrial touchscreen interface, or an advanced control knob interface for dirty applications or where operators wear gloves. Optional modelling and target control can take heat treatment recipes to the next level. Detailed PID tuning features including multiple PID sets allow tuning of even the most dynamic control loops. Available as a stand-alone “light solution” or as part of a control retrofit. Custom applications are also available. Installations are carried out on new or refurbished furnaces and are used for updating existing systems. See our Technology Solutions page for process specific configurations and control packages.
