Engin Plast promote the circular economy approach as to create products that can be reinserted into the production process through recycling, thus becoming “new material”, renewed and ready to be reused
European directives require at Member States to promote production models and consumption sustainable, encouraging the design of long-lasting products but, above all, pushing companies to consider the concept of “circular economy” from the early stages of design. The objective is to create products which, at the end of their life cycle, can be reinserted into the production process through recycling, thus becoming “new material”, renewed and ready to be reused.
In Italy too, these directives have led to the introduction of new targets and objectives that push companies to create more recyclable products. For plastic packaging, for example, the objective set is to reach 55% recycling by 2030.
Attention to sustainability, supported by legislative policies and public awareness of environmental issues, will lead to the demand for recycled polymer constantly growing.
Engin Plast: The ideal partner for innovation and sustainability
It’s in this context of rapid and changing evolutions that Engin Plast is located, a company that for fifty years has designed, produced and commercialized dosing and transport systems for polymers (in granules, ground and powder form) and granulators.
Over the years, Engin Plast has chosen the path of continuous innovation, investing resources and skills to refine its technology in both mature and emerging markets. The commitment to research and product development translates not only into improved production performance, but also into a positive impact on the environment. The solutions proposed are characterized by high technological efficiency and low energy consumption, thus contributing to the sustainability of industrial processes.
With an ever-increasing focus on foreign markets, the company is expanding into areas where demand for cutting-edge technologies is growing rapidly.
Engin Plast will be present at the next appointment at the K 2025 fair in Düsseldorf, from 8 to 15 October 2025, at Hall 11 Stand D20. An unmissable opportunity to discover the latest news and the most advanced solutions in the polymer sector.
In the heart of Engin Plast: The value of technology for customers’ applications
Collaboration with the main machine manufacturers and attention to regulatory developments, as well as to the specific needs of customers, have allowed Engin Plast to develop increasingly specialized products:
Dosing systems series TRIO
The TRIO range represents the synthesis of continuous technical research, designed to offer machinery that is easy to install and use. This range is suitable for all extrusion lines, blow molding machines, injection presses for gravimetric dosing and mixing up to a maximum of 6 components (polymers in granules, masterbatches, ground).
The gravimetric doser unit can be installed directly above the process machine in place of the loading hopper, or it can be positioned on the ground to feed one or more machines.
In recent years, Engin Plast has concentrated its efforts on several fronts:
• Specialization in processing difficult materials such as powders and/or ground materials
• Modularity and ease of use of the machines
• Management and supervision with software that allow full integration with plants and systems already in use at the customer.
The control of the dosing units is implemented with the use of a touch screen panel, with an intuitive machine/operator interface. The process parameters can be collected and analyzed both locally and remotely. Recently Engin Plast has developed a gravimetric batch dosing system, suitable for feeding extrusion lines capable of treating 100% of ground material. The TRIO T7 and T10 models are capable of dosing very light ground materials (0.2 kg/l) reaching flow rates of up to 2000 kg/h.
Granulators TRIX
The Engin Plast granulator range, identified by the acronym TRIX (Thermofoming, Injection mouding, Recycling, Extrusion), reflect the completeness of the proposed range.
TRIX is born from the integration of the latest technologies in terms of safety, energy efficiency and reliability, with a particular focus on thermoforming and recycling, especially for high-capacity recycling plants.
As for the dosers, also in the range of granulators Engin Plast adopts a philosophy oriented towards added value, optimizing each single component. The innovative cutting system and the blade fixing and calibration system ensure high performance with low energy consumption. Furthermore, greater durability and reliability of the machine are obtained thanks to the cooling of the cutting chamber and the automatic cleaning of the bearings. A special anti-plasticization system allows working with materials of different types, shapes and thicknesses, maintaining high fidelity and repeatability of the process. The parts most subject to wear are made with noble materials and high thicknesses. The compact design facilitates maintenance, another strong point that distinguishes these systems.
In the context of recovery and recycling, the specific granulation plant mod. 22.18 Venturi is designed for the in-line (continuous) recovery of trimmings resulting from the calibration phase of the sheet produced in the blown extrusion and cast processes. The main advantage is the immediate recovery of the material through a closed cycle, made possible by the technological evolution of the plant composed of granulators, dosers and forcers (forced feeding).
Low energy consumption, ease of use, great versatility and small dimensions, combined with an excellent quality-price ratio, make TRIX granulators an advantageous choice for companies that focus on efficiency and sustainability.
