Research and development
Sustainable and cutting-edge production towards a more efficient and responsible future.
Continuous innovation and ongoing research
At Plastivalle, research and development drive the innovation and excellence of our products. With a focus on optimising processes and materials, we aim to provide high-performance, sustainable, and customised plastic blow moulding solutions. Our commitment to research allows us to anticipate market needs and meet the growing demand for sustainability and quality.
Development of advanced plastic blow moulding technologies
Our research department focuses on the evolution of blow moulding techniques to improve container performance and resistance:
Blow moulding:
The blow moulding process used to produce plastic containers is ideal for creating products of any shape and size, ranging from jerry cans to bottles. It guarantees quality and compliance with the standards required across various sectors, from chemicals to food. The durability of Plastivalle containers is ensured through a cutting-edge production process, where every detail is meticulously managed, supported by the latest-generation technologies.
Multilayer blow moulding:
It enables the creation of containers with multiple layers of various materials, allowing for the inclusion of functional barriers that enhance the mechanical and chemical properties of the product. This process also integrates recycled materials alongside first-generation plastics.
Plastivalle is a pioneer in the use of recycled materials and bioplastics.
Recycled plastic
We develop processes that integrate recycled materials without compromising quality, ensuring suitable products even for demanding sectors such as food and pharmaceuticals.
Bioplastics
We invest in research into bioplastics derived from renewable sources, which offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic, reducing environmental impact.
Production process
optimisation
Our commitment to innovation is reflected in our use of state-of-the-art simulation and automation technologies:
- 3D simulation and modelling: we use cutting-edge software to develop and test the design of our containers before actual production, optimising time, costs and reducing waste.
- Industry 4.0: we integrate robotics, artificial intelligence and IoT systems into our production processes. This enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and greater operational efficiency.
Container weight reduction
Material and process innovations enable us to make products lighter without affecting their strength, thus reducing the use of raw materials and CO₂ emissions.
Environmental impact reduction
Research and development at Plastivalle is focused on sustainability.
Energy saving
We implement optimised production technologies to reduce energy consumption and improve overall efficiency.
Branded customisation
Our research also encompasses the post-treatment phase of the products:
- Digital decoration: we develop advanced digital printing solutions to customise containers with precision, reducing waste and enhancing the final look.
- Innovative coatings: we apply functional coatings that increase scratch resistance, improve label adhesion and extend product life.
A constant commitment
to innovation
At Plastivalle, research and development is an ongoing mission. Each innovation results from our daily commitment to improving products and processes, with the aim of meeting customer needs while respecting the environment. Thanks to this dedication, we develop plastic containers that combine sustainability with latest-generation innovation.
