Plastics processing

Storage system with 17 silos of 100 tonnes each

Design, fabrication and installation of a storage system of 17 silos at 100 tonnes each, with the associated conveying equipment and mixers for drying and homogenising plastic granulate — 1,700 tonnes of total storage capacity.

Contextul

TehnoWorld SRL processes plastics. Raw material — granulate and regrind — arrives in different lots, and processing requires the material to be stored separately by type and dried before extrusion or injection moulding: granules that have absorbed moisture produce visible defects in the finished product.

Ce am livrat

  • 17 silos of 100 tonnes each, with a total storage capacity of 1,700 tonnes

  • The associated conveying equipment, for filling the silos and feeding the processing line

  • Mixers for drying and homogenising plastic granulate

  • Design, fabrication and installation on site — the whole chain, from drawing to commissioning

What problem it solved

The system separates 17 raw material types into distinct stocks, which means material does not mix between lots and every recipe starts from a known composition.

Drying integrated into the flow removes the most frequent cause of rejects in plastics processing: granulate entering the extruder or the injection press wet.
