INVT Solution for Plastic Straw Pipe Making Machine in India

Abstract:  The process of plastic straw making machine involves converting raw plastic materials into finished products in the form of straws. The machine works by melting the plastic and then forcing it through a mold to form a tube, which is then cooled and shaped to desired lengths.

Keywords: IVC1L PLC , DA200 Servo set , GD10 VFD and VS series HMI.

1. Introduction

MACHINE PROCEDURE:-
In this machine there are four process unit involved –

1. Extruder unit – It is basically a unit which used to convert Raw material into liquid form of plastic. It runs from VFD and heaters. After converting plastic form into liquid next unit working starts.

2. Cooling panel & Die unit – In this unit basic work is to cool down plastic temperature & with the help of die give form of straw.

3. Puller – Pulling speed need to sync with cutter and extruder unit because according to pulling length width of plastic straw depends & also the quality of straw.in this unit we used Gd10 VFD to run rollers.

4. Cutter – Here we used DA200 servo drive set its speed sync with roller speed and it is used to cut fix length without any variation of different straw. There are two length required as per customer need so we have given this option in HMI.

Whole machine is in sync with all units & and for monitoring & data filling we used HMI in machine for customer ease.

2. Project information and Solution

* Project information
Site information: Plastic straw pipe making machine manufacturing company.

* Market Demand:

In 2023, the global plastic straw market size was valued at approximately USD 4.5 billion, with projections suggesting it could reach USD 6.3 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the continued demand in the food service industry alongside a variety of convenience-driven consumer behaviors which advocate for single-use products. Despite environmental concerns associated with plastic straws, their lightweight, cost-effective production and versatility still make them a preferred choice across the globe, albeit amidst increasing regulatory pressures.
