From drawing to first shot

Turnkey Plastic Packaging Plants

We size the sheet line, cup former, mold, and utilities as one system so the expensive press is never waiting on air, water, or roll stock.

A typical AMT package is not “a machine in a crate.” It is a balanced line: sheet extrusion, cup forming or multi-station thermoforming, tooling, and downstream and utilities. Projects for drinking cups, yogurt, lids, and food boxes follow the same six gates.

Six gates we run on every project

1. Market and cup mix

Volumes, rim sizes, PP/PS/PET/PLA, and how many SKUs share the first mold set.

2. Hall engineering

Length, kVA, compressed-air path, and chiller placement before civil work is frozen.

3. Machine balance

Extruder kg/h set 10–15% above the former. FS vs HSS vs LS decided by energy and cavity plan.

4. Mold freeze

CAD, steel, cooling circuits, in-mold cut. See the tooling page.

5. Install and train

Commissioning crew, operator training, and spare-parts kit for the first 12 months.

6. Ramp-up

Remote diagnostics and a written cycle-time target, not an open-ended “we will see.”
