The initial stages of a spinning process are always the most important to outline the characteristics of the fibres and become essential when the goal is to achieve superior high-quality performances. Behind common products like filament yarns, fabrics, carpets, geotextiles or strapping bands for packaging, there are advanced technologies for feeding, crystallising, drying and dosing of polymers that Piovan has developed over the years and successfully installed for many customers around the world.
Polyester, Polypropylene and Polyamide are processed in the Piovan systems with the utmost care to guarantee a stable extrusion process and reliable production over 24 hours. Piovan equipment is specifically designed for the industrial environment, as required by fibres and strappings factories.
In addition to processing virgin polymers, the PiovanGroup designs complete technologies for processing PET flakes from post-consumer bottles suitable for the production of staple fibres or PET strapping bands, such as storage silos, bulk handling systems, pneumatic conveying systems, dedusters, crystallisers, dryers and gravimetric blenders. The machine and engineering portfolio also includes sustainable solutions that guarantee optimum process stability and energy efficiency.
Thanks to the synergy among the various companies of the Group, to the wide technological portfolio available and to the long-term collaboration with the main OEMs of the sector, Piovan is able to offer its Customers experience, competence and reliability to design the most suitable plant for the production needs.
The range of Piovan solutions spans from stand-alone single material loaders to central multiple material systems.
Broad selection of technologies to perform the drying process in the best condition possible for the raw material.
Volumetric, gravimetric, loss-in-weight, continuous or batch, are the technologies implemented in the series of blenders and dosing units of Piovan.
Efficiency of heat exchange and reliability of operation characterise our range of temperature control units.
Wide range of solutions that includes from the small movable storage silos on wheels, up to the external silos to stock tonnes of material. The solutions can be totally tailor made on customer request.
Process integration and control systems are key to maximizing efficiency and achieving high performance.
The simplest way of measuring AA levels in PET preforms. The Piovan Lab-Tech range allows utmost production monitoring, by providing real time analysis of acetaldehyde content in the PET preforms.
Small, medium and large capacities, with the latest design for size reduction, granulation, recycling devices and accessories, represent the range of equipment of Piovan.
Flexcool solution can use ambient temperature to cool the processing equipment. Such a peculiar strategic feature makes Flexcool ideally suitable to serve sets of injection moulding machines having diverse characteristic, that is, in those working situations where different machines are required to operate at varying processing conditions of temperature, flow, pressure. Flexcool ensures the highest level of control, flexibility and energy efficiency.
