How Automation Can Improve the Efficiency of Reconditioned Machinery
In the plastics recovery and recycling industry, reconditioned machinery is an economical and sustainable solution for maintaining high productivity. However, the integration of industrial automation systems can further improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and increase the quality of the recycled material.
The main benefits of automation in reconditioned machinery
1. Improved production efficiency
- Precise control of temperatures, speeds and pressures
- Reduced machine downtime
- Optimisation of machining cycles
2. Remote monitoring and control
- PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) integration for automated control
- Access to production data via IoT platforms
- Real-time diagnostics to prevent breakdowns
3. Reduced operating costs
- Lower energy consumption through process optimisation
- Predictive maintenance to avoid extraordinary interventions
- Reduction of material waste
How to integrate automation into a reconditioned plant
1. Upgrading the control cabinet and sensors
- Installation of advanced sensors to monitor temperature, humidity and pressure
- Implementation of a PLC control system
2. Implementation of data management software
- Collection and analysis of production data
- Dashboard for remote control of process parameters
3. Integration of collaborative robots and automated handling systems
- Automation of material loading and unloading
- Optimisation of the plastics sorting and separation process
Practical application cases in plastics recycling
- Automatic temperature control in granulators
- Optimised shredding speed management
- Monitoring of energy consumption and emissions
The integration of advanced automation systems makes it possible to transform reconditioned plastic recycling machinery into high-performance plants, with considerable cost savings and an improvement in the quality of the end product.
