Motan-Colortronic: The latest technology in materials handling

Driven by the rising popularity of bigger machnes, Motan-Colortronic demonstrated its full central conveying system and auxiliary equipment at CHINAPLAS 2017.

Motan-Colortronic Plastics Machinery（Taicang) Co., Ltd was founded in January 2006 and its main products are: storage system, drying system, conveying system, blending system and controller system etc. for various operations, be it injection molding, extrusion, optical disk, tubing, packaging and cable industry. 

As one of the world’s leading suppliers of complex centralized material feed systems, Motan-Colortronic ensures that each system is designed to suit the customer’s requirements by taking into account individual factors such as throughput, materials types, and plant layout. A wide selection of loaders with a variety of conveying options, controls, blowers, and filter techniques allow the creation of the optimum system for the customer’s facility.

According to Mr. Bing Hian Co, North Area Regional Managing Director: “Each CHINAPLAS we show our system and in this edition, we have a full central conveying system which is the latest technology in materials handling. In this system, there are two pumps but depending on the needs of the customers, we can install a maximum of eight pumps whenever there is a need for more power.”

‘As Mr. Bing explained, the system enables high output and this meets the requirement of big factories in China. For the last couple of years, we have seen China factories getting bigger and the materials required for transportation is higher in terms of volume. These factories go for equipment that ensures materials have high availability and they don’t want their system to have possible breakdown - the more pumps on standby, the better so if any one fails, it doesn’t matter.” In China, Motan-Colortronic has become more of a solutions provider as it is capable of designing a system according to specifications. “No two factories are the same and so we need to customize.” At present, Motan-Colortonic products are made of components sourced from Germany. However, some materials, like the sheet metals, are made in China to cut down on shipping costs.
