Plastics & Polymers
Plastics & Polymers
Industry Overview
The rising adoption of engineering plastics in place of metals, rapid growth in electronic gadgets, and evolving packaging innovations have made plastics one of the fastest-growing raw materials across industries. With increasing demand for compounding and masterbatch production, reliable and automated material handling has become essential for efficiency, quality, and scalability.
The rising adoption of engineering plastics in place of metals, rapid growth in electronic gadgets, and evolving packaging innovations have made plastics one of the fastest-growing raw materials across industries. With increasing demand for compounding and masterbatch production, reliable and automated material handling has become essential for efficiency, quality, and scalability.
Key Challenges in Plastic & Polymer Handling
Handling plastics in various forms—resins, pellets, granules, powders, and additives—comes with its own challenges:
- Flow Blockages & Segregation – Improper transfer can cause uneven distribution and equipment choking.
- Pellet Breakage & Fines – Pellets can degrade, producing dust and streamers (“angel hair” or “snake skin”) that reduce throughput.
- Contamination – Cross-contamination between polymer grades or additives affects product quality.
- Dust Release – Fine powders generate airborne dust, posing safety and hygiene risks.
Orchid’s Automation Solutions
Orchid delivers customized material handling and automation systems for plastics and polymers:
- Raw Material Handling – Mechanical & pneumatic conveying of calcium carbonate, talc, polymers, resins, and additives from bag/bulk unloading to extruder feed.
- Blending & Mixing – Uniform blending of different polymer grades with advanced mixers and blenders.
- Conveying to Storage – Pneumatic transfer of finished granules and pellets into silos or bins.
- De-Dusting Systems – Removal of fines, streamers, and contaminants before packaging.
- Bagging & Pelletizing – Accurate bag filling, jumbo bag stations, and pelletizing solutions for finished products.
