Ecoltri
Token storage, sorting and conveying system
The EcolTri system ensures the storage, sorting and conveying of the injected parts, in this case tokens. A vibrating bowl provides a buffer stock of these chips and allows the production rate to be modulated without the need for an injection moulding machine.
A colour cell and a separator, mounted on the distribution belt, ensure the selection of parts by different colours. An optical cell counts the sorted parts.
The system is installed in the EcolPlast workshop, in line with the injection press. It can be used independently.
This system has all the functions of an automated production system that meets the training requirements.

ECOLPLAST
Automated production line combining modularity and scalability
<p>This industrial line was designed by our design office, in collaboration with teaching teams, based on a real production and transformation line for plastic materials. </p> <p><br /> Ecolplast ensures the production and packaging of plastic parts, such as caps, customisable tokens (checkers, shopping cart tokens, etc.).<br /> The moulded parts are made by hot injection under pressure of polyethylene or polypropylene in the form of granules. A continuous part control by digital imaging allows the rejection of defective parts.</p> <p><br /> The production line systems then pack the parts into boxes, shrink-wrap the boxes and place them in cartons or plastic crates. The latter are evacuated onto a line exit conveyor which can be equipped to close the boxes using an industrial taping machine.</p> <p><br /> An associated system allows the recycling of sprues and rejects in order to reuse the raw material and optimise manufacturing costs. It also crushes plastic caps for integration into production. The line is composed of autonomous and independent systems that are combined to form a set of 4 to 9 stations, with control and supervision on PC and tablet.</p>
