Projects and solutions for the sector
PET Blowing Machines
With an agile and robust architecture, the new continuous extrusion blow molding machines from Pavan Zanetti, one of Latin America's largest machine manufacturers, operate using Altus products and engineering intelligence.
Extruder machines
Tigre, a national leader in the manufacturing of pipes and fittings for the construction industry, turned to technology to upgrade its extruder machines responsible for producing PVC pipes.
Our solutions for this industry
Precision control for plastic injection and extrusion
Designed to meet the demands of small-scale machines and processes, the PLCs from the XP series have the ability to optimize plastic extrusion and injection processes, ensuring efficiency, precision, and quality at every stage of production. With a powerful processor and onboard multi-purpose I/O points, the controllers in the line can act in controlling critical parameters, such as temperature, speed, and pressure in the extrusion process. These features help ensure the production of plastic parts with precise dimensions and consistent characteristics, resulting in high-quality products and reducing material waste.
These same capabilities apply to plastic injection processes, where Altus’ compact, IoT-ready PLCs control the entire injection cycle, making precise adjustments to temperature, pressure, and cycle time. The result is high-quality plastic parts with excellent finishes and faster production times.
Advanced control and monitoring of material handling and transportation
With a powerful processor and onboard I/O points, the NX3008, the most advanced CPU model in the NX series, has the ability to precisely and dynamically coordinate the movement of parts and components. This processing capability allows the product to control conveyors, elevators, belts, winches, doors, pneumatic pistons, and other devices. This enables the controller to perform handling and transport operations efficiently, reducing cycle time and increasing production capacity.
Additionally, the NX series PLCs allow for integration with logistics and automation systems, such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and automated transport systems. This enables even more efficient and safer material handling, eliminating dependence on manual operations and reducing the risk of errors.
Smart control across the entire production line
The advanced technology in the Nexto System PLCs enables intelligent control throughout the entire production line in a plastics manufacturing environment. From raw material intake to finished product output, Nexto PLCs synchronize machines and equipment, ensuring seamless precision, speed, and efficiency at every step.
Choosing Nexto products helps reduce operational costs, minimize cycle times, improve product quality, and increase production capacity. Plus, the flexibility of these PLCs allows for quick, efficient adjustments to changing market demands, ensuring agile production that meets customer expectations.
