Automated Precision. Optimized Production.
Our process automation solutions provide full control and integration across critical production stages, including mixing and batching, extrusion, milling, and micro-ingredient batching. Leveraging advanced system controls and real-time monitoring, we ensure consistent product quality, seamless data flow, and maximized operational efficiency throughout the plant.
Mixing & Batching
NorthWind has been automating mixing and batching systems since our doors opened in 1997. We built software around the batching processes, looking for ways to enhance it. We are able to efficiently stage and time ingredient usage for bulk and micro ingredients and optimize specific mixers.
Extrusion
Automating extruders is another area of expertise for NorthWind. We have controlled new extruders as well as retrofit older extruders for both the Pet Food and Plastics industries. We have in-depth knowledge of the extrusion processes that can be applied to your facility.
