Copar Screen and PLC Upgrades

Upgrade your existing Copar system to the latest generation CSSC 8 SyncMaster

Copar designed the 368 Upgrade to be a simple, direct drop-in replacement for the systems nearing their life cycle. The 368 upgrade was designed so that you will not have to replace cabinets, control wires, junction boxes, or equipment that is already on your corrugator.  Most upgrades can be performed over a weekend.
