Customized Drive Solutions for the Plastics Industry
Plastics processing regularly pushes machines and systems to their limits. Whether in demanding 24/7 continuous operation, at extreme temperatures, or in high-precision dosing processes: The reliability of the drive technology used determines the cost-effectiveness of your entire production process. Groschopp AG Drives & More develops and manufactures durable electric motors and gearboxes that are precisely tailored to the specific requirements of the plastics industry.
Your Challenges – Our Drive Solutions
In modern plastics processing, standard solutions are often insufficient. Limited installation space, high torque requirements at low speeds, and the need for maximum energy efficiency demand specialized expertise.
1. Extrusion and Dosing Technology
A constant material flow is the heart of extrusion. Our brushless servo motors and robust worm gear motors guarantee absolutely uniform power transmission. This is crucial for precise dosing systems and prevents material fluctuations in the final product.
- High torque consistency for uniform melt pressure
- Compact design for space-saving multi-dosing units
- High overload capacity during cold starts
2. Injection Molding and Peripheral Equipment
Cycle times in injection molding are continuously shrinking. For handling systems, part removal, and material handling (conveyor belts, dryers, granulators), Groschopp provides dynamic and energy-efficient drive solutions.
- Dynamic acceleration for fast handling systems
- Low-maintenance designs for reduced downtime
- High protection ratings (IP) against dust and moisture
3. Winding Technology and Film Production
In plastic film production, precise web tension is essential. Our drive technology enables highly sensitive control and perfectly synchronized roller operation to prevent tearing or wrinkling.
