Amut Group meets Vietnam market expectations

Amut Group has been confident on the prospects for its products in the fast-growing Vietnam market as reflected by the full time presence of the Amut Sales Manager, Mr. Andrea Peretto, who is in charge of the area. This strategy enables Amut to constantly support and assist customers in benefitting from its full range of products that includes plastic extrusion lines, thermoforming machines, recycling lines and waste sorting and treatment equipment. 

Vietnam’s plastic manufacturing industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the country, sustaining average annual growth of 20% to 25%, production volume of about 2.1 million tonnes. Industrial companies in Vietnam are demanding high quality equipment and advanced solutions for their manufacturing operations and this demand can be met with Amut solutions.  

Amut has recently delivered to South-Vietnam one AMP 630-GP second generation: the first, for typology, extrusion and thermoforming plant “in line” working up to high capacity. Equipped with automatic pick up stacker in line and an extruder EA100, the plant is able to produce large quantities of disposable PP cups with diameter of 95 mm, in particular 33,000 cups/h for capacity of 500 ml and 35,000 cups/h for capacity of 450 ml. A 3 stations volumetric dosing unit with capacity up to 600 kg/h, a static mixer and a  mill grinding the thermoformed skeleton, placed in line after  the  thermoforming machine, are also supplied. EA100 extruder (100 mm) permits to reach an hour production of 600 kg/h using only the 38% of recycled material originated from the thermoformed skeleton. 

Several Vietnamese companies have chosen Amut technology for their demands, especially extrusion lines for pipes production, distinguishable in materials and sizes, even up to 1,000 mm external diameter. One line has been supplied to produce uPVC pipes for electric conduits (possible diameters from 16 mm to 32 mm) based on a BA72 twin screws extruder which permits a capacity up to 250 kg/h +/- 10%. A  hot/cold mixing system for the production of PVC dry-blend, in powder, completes the line: the heat mixer has a capacity of 200 litres whilst the horizontal cooling mixer of 500 litres. 

Other  references  are  represented  by  machines  producing  HDPE  pipes  both  for  small range of diameters, up to 63 mm, and for bigger size, up to 1000 mm. The  first  includes  an  EA48  single  screw  extruder  to  guarantee  a  capacity  of  240  kg/h whilst the bigger line is based on an EA130 single screw extruder and on a co-extrusion equipment for coloured stripes. The output is around 1200 kg hourly.  

For this project Amut has produced a compact extrusion die with 16-spiral distribution, granting  perfect  thickness  uniformity  on  the  whole  pipe  circumference.The plant is equipped with two vacuum tanks and three spray cooling tanks  for a total cooling length of 34 m, necessary to produce pipes for PN6 and PN8 working pressures.
