Compressed Air Solutions for the Plastic Processing Industry

CAPCO provides compressed air solutions for plastic processing, supporting plastic manufacturing plants, injection moulding facilities, extrusion operations, blow moulding plants, and other plastic production environments across the USA.

From industrial air compressors and compressed air systems to air dryers, filtration, moisture separators, drain valves, air piping solutions, and compressor parts, CAPCO provides equipment to support the compressed air requirements of plastic manufacturing and processing operations.

Supporting Plastic Manufacturing Operations

Compressed air is widely used throughout the plastic processing industry for injection moulding, blow moulding, extrusion, automation, material handling, pneumatic equipment, and plant utilities.

Plastic manufacturing processes can require consistent compressed air pressure and flow. Moisture and contaminants can also affect pneumatic equipment and downstream components, making appropriate air treatment an important part of the overall compressed air system.

CAPCO provides solutions for compressed air generation, drying, filtration, condensate management, distribution, and maintenance.

CAPCO solutions support:

Plastic manufacturing plants

Injection moulding operations

Blow moulding

Plastic extrusion

Plastic processing machinery

Pneumatic equipment

Industrial automation

Material handling

Production controls

Our Key Offerings for Plastic Processing Industries

Air Compressors for Plastic Industry

Air compressors for plastic industry applications provide compressed air for production machinery, injection moulding equipment, automation systems, pneumatic components, and plant utilities.

CAPCO provides compressor solutions for different plastic processing requirements.

Our compressor solutions include:

Compressor selection should consider airflow demand, operating pressure, duty cycle, production requirements, and future capacity.

Air Dryers & Moisture Control

Moisture in compressed air can affect pneumatic components, valves, cylinders, controls, and plastic processing equipment.

CAPCO provides air drying and moisture management equipment for industrial compressed air systems.

CAPCO provides:

The appropriate dryer depends on airflow, operating pressure, required pressure dew point, ambient conditions, and application requirements.

Compressed Air Filtration

Plastic processing facilities use compressed air across production equipment, automation systems, and pneumatic components. Proper filtration can help manage particles, oil aerosols, moisture, and other contaminants.

CAPCO provides compressed air filtration solutions for plastic manufacturing plants.

Our filtration solutions include:

Filter selection should be based on the required compressed air quality and application.

Drain Valves & Condensate Management

Compressed air systems generate condensate during compression and cooling. Effective condensate drainage helps manage accumulated liquid in compressors, dryers, receivers, and distribution systems.

CAPCO provides:

CAPCO also provides oil water separators and condensate management equipment for suitable compressor applications.

Air Piping & Distribution Solutions

Plastic manufacturing plants can have multiple production lines, machines, and points of use requiring compressed air.

CAPCO provides air piping solutions for plastic processing facilities and industrial compressed air networks.

Solutions include:

Piping design should consider airflow, pressure drop, pipe sizing, facility layout, production requirements, and future expansion.

Compressor Parts & Maintenance Solutions

Plastic processing plants can rely on compressed air systems for continuous production. Proper compressor maintenance and timely replacement of components can support equipment servicing.

CAPCO provides:

Replacement components should be selected according to the compressor model, manufacturer’s specifications, operating conditions, and application requirements.

Applications in the Plastic Processing Industry

Injection Moulding

Compressed air can support pneumatic components, automation, material handling, controls, and selected functions associated with injection moulding operations.

Blow Moulding

Blow moulding processes can require compressed air for forming applications and supporting pneumatic equipment. Air pressure and quality requirements depend on the specific machinery and process.

Plastic Extrusion

Compressed air can support automation, pneumatic controls, material handling, and selected equipment used in plastic extrusion facilities.

Plastic Packaging

Compressed air can support automated packaging, conveying, filling, sealing, labeling, and material-handling equipment used with plastic products.

Pneumatic Automation

Pneumatic cylinders, valves, actuators, and grippers can support automated plastic processing machinery.

Material Handling

Compressed air can support pneumatic conveying, gripping, positioning, and other material-handling applications.

Production Controls

Appropriately treated compressed air can support pneumatic instrumentation and control systems.

Plant Maintenance

Compressed air can power pneumatic tools, workshop equipment, cleaning applications, and general maintenance operations.
