Chemical/Plastics Automation
Automation in the plastics and chemicals sector must account for several factors, like melt index variation, thermal sensitivity, operator safety, and contaminant control. This is why you need more than basic machinery when it comes to plastics manufacturing.
Luckily, EZ Automation provides custom solutions to meet those challenges in plastics and chemicals manufacturing. We build systems that stabilize material flow, monitor thermal conditions in real time, and streamline processes for plants that handle extrusion, molding, or chemical-based compounding.
Our Solutions
Because every plant balances a different mix, we engineer solutions that reflect those conditions rather than forcing a template. Our plastics automation capabilities include:
- PLC-driven control of extruders, molding cells, dryers, and gravimetric feeders.
- HMI systems for monitoring melt temperature, screw torque, drying cycles, and additive dosing.
- Robotics for part handling in injection molding, de-gating stations, or packaging cells.
- Vision systems for color deviation, surface defects, shot-to-shot measurement, and labeling verification.
- Line calibration and cycle-time optimization based on resin properties and tool design.
Why EZ Automation
Beyond our custom turnkey approach, we develop controls that withstand heat, monitor moisture levels in hygroscopic plastics, and tie every station together through SCADA and IoT networks for complete traceability and long-term scalability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. By monitoring the melting temperature, dryer performance, and material feed rates, we can smooth out resin-related inconsistencies before they affect the final product.
They do. We routinely connect new controls, sensors, and HMIs to legacy plastic processing machines so the entire line operates on a unified platform.
It will. Sensors can log dryer performance and alert operators before moisture causes defects.
They can, especially issues like short shots, burn marks, or flow lines.
