Tailored solutions suitable for all polymers for the production of technical and thermoforming sheets
For more than 30 years the Piovan Group has been developing automation systems for the production of technical and thermoforming sheets. These plates in different plastic polymers (ABS, PET, PS, PP, PLA), of various thicknesses, with different colours and finishes, are intended for various application sectors, including the food, beverage, automotive and household appliances industries. More in detail, the sheets are suitable for the production of various types of objects, such as trays, trays, displays, chandeliers and car interior linings.
The Group designs and manufactures customised turn-key solutions suitable to prepare and use both internal regrind and post-consumer material (PCR) for the extrusion process. The technology of Piovan plants maximises the quality of the finished product and ensures that all processing is carried out to the highest quality standards.
Piovan is a partner of the major OEMs and has developed dedicated solutions for the production of technical and thermoforming sheets for more than 250 customers.
The F series vacuum units are characterised by low noise level, up to 75 dB(A), and compact footprint. The F series vacuum units are available in two versions (side channels or claw pump): this allows always the best technical solution for the specific need. Such design makes them suitable for standalone installation beside the IMM and centralized feeding systems or to feed systems with medium to high pressure losses and high kg/h throughput.
Suitable for high throughput, the CS Series vacuum receivers are specifically designed for material prone to bridging. Flake is particularly complex to handle due to its propensity to bridge. The cone angle and availability of bridge breakers ensure material discharge. Pneumatic flaps can be fitted for very light material.
The CDF condensing unit is the solution developed by Piovan for removing low-boiling contaminants from the process air, released during the drying process of post consumer products like rPET or flakes. Metallic filters remove dust particles before the condensing phase. The cooling batteries then remove the low-boiling oils which drop into collecting tank easy removable.
The T1 hoppers are specifically designed for high capacity productions. These insulated drying hoppers are characterised by optimum ratio between height and diameter for proper heat exchange. Made in stainless steel for preserving at best the processed material, T1 hoppers are easily accessible to all their parts, thanks to the inspection door.
Lybra LG is a continuous weight-loss gravimetric doser that can be easily integrated in supervision system. The dosing auger available in 3 configurations, single, dual or triple flight screws, assures high level of accuracy and repeatability. The intuitive graphical user interface allows the operator to control the main parameters such as actual and set values or instantaneous production and access all unit’s functions. The central body is provided with a static mixer that makes the additives entering in the middle of the virgin column, assuring a perfect mixing.
GMP is a single or multi hopper drying system, that can adapt and automatically control operating parameters, such as temperature, dew point and flow rate of the process air, according to the production detected. The GMP range is available in 3 configurations: SMART, PLUS and ADAPTIVE. In case of many different raw materials to dry, one GMP dryer can be combined with a multi-hopper system.
Suitable for granules, flakes and regrind materials, the CR crystalliser assures the best crystallisation, improving the drying phase. The design has been specifically developed to exceed the material glass transition temperature and to guarantee homogeneous crystallization, assuring optimal flow of the material. Crystallising hoppers are equipped with high efficiency planetary motor gears to guarantee low rotation speed of the vertical paddle shaft and minimize dust creation. The process is kept under control with a complete set of temperature probes and level sensors.
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.
With specific skills and deep knowledge of the PET preform production process, we provide customised solutions able to satisfy the specific cooling needs of the PET preform sector.
Our air-cooled chillers provide the ideal cooling solution for a wide range of industrial applications related to the plastics processing and to the food industry.
Our water-cooled chillers provide high quality, operation efficiency, and energy savings for a wide range of industrial applications related to the plastics processing and to the food industry.
Our product range includes a line of thermochillers which have the function to heat and cool the process circuit of injection and blow moulding machines utilized in the plastics processing. Available in the single or dual circuit versions, these machines provide maximum cooling yield with minimum energy consumption.
Efficiency of heat exchange and reliability of operation characterise our range of temperature control units.
Our dry coolers are the best answer to the needs of various industrial processes and applications where it is essential to constantly cool the fluid used for the heat exchange at a temperature greater than or equal to that of the external environment. Representing an effective alternative to cooling towers with low costs and low energy consumption.
A very high attention and considerable importance is given to pumps, the devices that allow cooling and chilled water circulate throughout the circuit.
Piovan develops all software for the entire line of industrial cooling solutions.
