Talk To a Specialist

We'll connect you with the right AZO engineer.

Your extruder profile is only as consistent as what you feed it.

It starts upstream with how your raw materials are received, stored, dosed, and conveyed before they ever reach the extruder.

PVC Powder Flow

Facing bridges in silos, rat-holes, and eventual floods? On a high-volume extrusion line, that unpredictability affects your product.
Solution

AZO designs PVC-specific handling with silo geometry, vibration, and conveying parameters matched to how your material behaves.

Combustible Dust

Fugitive dust settles on equipment and walkways, creating the conditions for a dust incident or failed inspection.
Solution

AZO systems include explosion venting, grounding and bonding, and closed-loop pneumatic conveying.

Inaccurate Additive Dosing

A manually weighed bag dump doesn't give batch-to-batch accuracy. Even small inconsistencies can compromise product quality.
Solution

AZO gravimetric dosing systems deliver exact quantities every batch with full traceability.

Material-specific system design

PVC powders, TiO2, resin pellets, foaming agents — we simulate your actual conveying and dosing conditions so the system works flawlessly.

Retrofit ready
precision-dosing

Retrofit ready

We engineer around fixed silos, mezzanines, and legacy PLCs using 3D modeling and remote I/O integration to fit a precision handling system into the facility you already have.
