THE COMPANY how we work moulds workshop and production departments

Our workshop covers a 1000 m2 area and it is equipped with CNC machining centres, 3 spark erosion machines, 4 automatic and semiautomatic lathes, 3 milling machines, 2 horizontal spindle grinding machines, 2 metal-cutting belt sawing machines.

In our production departments plastics are transformed using injection moulding machines and extruders.
The injection moulding area covers a 4000 m2 area and it is equipped with 34 injection moulding presses of different tonnage, from 90 up to 830 tons continuously processing more than 2400 ton/year raw material.
The production cycle can be divided into 4 phases:

• the first consists in placing the mould on the machine which is fed by the granular raw material;
• during the second phase, the injection, the raw material becomes fluid and is injected into the mould at high pressure;
• the third phase is the injection moulding whose duration depends on the structure and typology of the workpiece;
• the cooling is the last phase: the mould is connected to a cooling system which allows the piece to be cooled before ejection.

Finally the knockouts make the mould open and eject the piece.
The extrusion area covers a 6000 m2 area and consists of different production lines: 6 extrusion lines for polyethylene and polypropylene pipes, 2 lines for corrugated pipes (Bauku) and 1 line for Multilayer pipes (PEX-AL-PEX).
The extrusion cycle starts with the feeding process: the raw material is pushed into the extruder at high temperature and pressure.
During the extrusion, the raw material takes shape passing through the pipe die; at this stage it needs to be gauged, that is sized within precise tolerance limits.
After gauging, the pipe undergoes the cooling and marking phases and finally is cut and stocked.
