Pneumatic Panels

Plastics Processing: Efficiency and Safety with Pneumatic Panels

In the plastics processing sector, production processes demand extremely high precision and efficiency to transform simple polymer granules into high-quality finished products, such as food packaging, biodegradable films, and materials for agricultural use. In this context, automation technologies play a crucial role, and this is where Interfluid’s expertise comes into play, with over 40 years of experience in providing advanced solutions for pneumatic automation.

 

Pneumatic Technologies at the Service of Plastics

The processing of plastics through processes like extrusion, converting, thermoforming, and injection molding utilizes increasingly sophisticated technologies to ensure finished products meet ever-higher quality standards. In all these stages, process efficiency can be significantly enhanced through the use of advanced pneumatic systems such as pneumatic control panels, designed to maximize the productivity and precision of the machines used in plastics processing. These panels integrate functions for pressure regulation, flow control, and movement automation, essential for delicate operations such as plastic film winding or flexographic printing.

 

A Customized Approach to Technology

For several years, Interfluid has been creating pneumatic panels following the specific requests of the client: the process begins with a careful phase of listening and analyzing the specific needs of the customer, followed by drafting the pneumatic diagram using CAD and the subsequent design of the panel.

The goal is to create a solution that not only meets the production needs exactly but is also easy to use and maintain. Particular attention is paid to the optimal arrangement of components and wiring within the panel, thus ensuring easy maintenance access and long system life. All panels are also equipped with clearly visible labels and numbering, further facilitating management and maintenance.

Before delivery, each pneumatic panel undergoes a testing and inspection phase, during which the proper functioning of all components and the system’s pressure integrity are verified. This ensures that every solution provided by Interfluid is ready for immediate use without interruptions, replicating exactly the process specified by the client.

 

Da diversi anni Interfluid realizza pannelli pneumatici seguendo le specifiche richieste del committente: il processo inizia infatti con un'attenta fase di ascolto e analisi delle esigenze specifiche del cliente, seguita dalla progettazione utilizzando sofisticati strumenti CAD.

L'obiettivo è quello di creare una soluzione che non solo risponda esattamente alle necessità di produzione, ma che sia anche facile da utilizzare e mantenere. Particolare attenzione è rivolta infatti alla disposizione ottimale dei componenti e dei cablaggi all'interno del quadro, garantendo così un accesso facile per la manutenzione e una lunga durata del sistema. Tutti i pannelli, inoltre, sono dotati di etichette e numerazioni ben visibili, facilitando ulteriormente la gestione e la manutenzione.

Prima della consegna, ogni pannello pneumatico passa attraverso una fase di test e collaudo, durante la quale viene verificato il corretto funzionamento di tutti i componenti e la tenuta in pressione del sistema. Questo assicura che ogni soluzione fornita da Interfluid sia pronta all'uso immediato e senza interruzioni, replicando esattamente il processo specificato dal cliente.

 

Certifications and Safety

Safety is a key aspect in the design of Interfluid’s pneumatic panels and the entire pneumatic system, with certified components (Safeline) ensuring not only operational safety but also compliance with the most stringent industrial standards. This aspect is crucial to ensure the safety of operators during production and maintenance phases.

Interfluid aims to be the ideal partner for those seeking pneumatic automation solutions, offering cutting-edge products that improve production efficiency in all its aspects, from precision to operational safety.
