The task for AZO

The production of high-quality windows also requires high-quality raw materials. AZO comes into play in the production of the PVC dryblend and the feeding of the extruder:

Fully automatic heating-cooling mixer feeding increases efficiency, quality and safety, reduces errors and costs and ensures consistent dryblend quality. Automation is a decisive competitive advantage, especially in large-scale production. Large components, such as PVC powder, must be reliably discharged from silos in large quantities and fed into the production process. Additives and colours, on the other hand, are delivered in big bags and each place their own demands on raw material handling. Suitable discharge aids, conveying and dosing methods are required here in order to provide the right quantity of each raw material to the right mixer at the right time –- and thus ensure the high quality of the dryblend.

Safe product quality Precise dosing and weighing of all components, as well as complete traceability for exact adherence to formulation and reproducible batch preparation

Reasons that speak for AZO

« In 2019, we successfully implemented the modernisation of the heating cooling mixer feeding system at the Weber im Moos plant with AZO. We were impressed by the project management and the quality of the system, enabling us to take the next step towards future-proof production with the new heating-cooling mixer feeding system at the Kurtatsch plant. » Matthias Fauster, Finstral AG
