Control systems for plastics extrusion.
We design and build automation for extrusion lines where the real value is repeatability. From thermal zone management to motor synchronization, INTECH Automazione Sistemi solutions are designed to keep process parameters within strict tolerances. Our goal is to provide machine builders and manufacturers with an electronic architecture capable of handling h24 duty cycles without performance drift.
We reduce waste by ensuring process balance
Industrial production segment
In extrusion, any downtime or temperature instability results in wasted material and unnecessary energy costs. We know that the mechanics of the extruder alone are not enough: you need control electronics that can properly communicate with the drivers, pressure sensors, and resistors.
Board design and software for industrial extrusion.
Our design capability focuses on the stability of the “working point.” We develop the software and hardware needed to coordinate screw speed with pulling and dosing, eliminating those fluctuations that cause dimensional defects in the final product. Whether it is a new plant designed in conjunction with a contractor or an upgrade on an existing line, our approach is pragmatic: technology must serve to make production easier and more consistent.
INTECH Automazione Sistemi intervenes in all critical stages of the extrusion process, implementing automation for different types of machinery and plants. We are not simply a component supplier, but the partner that integrates electronics with production logic:
-
Extrusion and Co-extrusion Lines: We make control systems for multi-extruder plants, ensuring perfect flow rate synchronization for complex multilayer products.
-
Multizone Thermal Management: We design switchboards with optimized PID logics for heating and cooling cylinders, avoiding thermal spikes that could degrade the polymer.
-
Screw-Pull synchronization (Haul-off): We develop the control software to maintain the constant relationship between the material output speed and the pull-off, ensuring that the dimensions are met to the millimeter.
-
Doser and Filter Changer Integration: We automate gravimetric feeding systems and hydraulic filter changers, managing pressure ramps to avoid water hammer in the melt flow.
-
Revamping of Obsolete Lines: We replace old control systems with modern platforms (PLC/HMI), allowing monitoring of energy consumption and remote assistance, which is essential to intervene without costly travel.
We work side by side with those who build the mechanics to deliver to the end customer a machine that is ready to produce, easy for the operator to use, and prepared for modern industry standards.
Some installations made in this area
We apply our industrial automation systems in plastic extrusion and molding machines.
Specifically, we have built industrial automation systems for:
- Pipe extrusion
- Plastic film extrusion
- Turbomix
- Cutting on the fly
- Timing belts
INTECH AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
Design and production of systems for industrial plant automation and enterprise energy transition
Our industrial plant design and automation activities are always thought out to the individual customer’s specifications. We support designers, technologists and plant engineers from the very first stage of work, so that we can network all the skills involved in the production process.
We design and manufacture electrical control panels. We study the best solutions based on the customer’s requirements to have the most efficient and quickest commissioning of the industrial automation system. Skilled technicians follow the whole realization of the switchboard up to installation.
Through revamping, the useful life of a machine can be extended by as much as fifteen to twenty years, with an average cost around half that of buying a new machine. Revamping can involve an entire industrial plant, a production line, or a single machine.
We use solutions and components by choosing from the most reliable brands on the market to have certainty of quality and full mastery of the machine. Components purchased externally are chosen from the most reliable partners on the market to ensure, in addition to high quality, easy availability of spare parts.
