• Extrusion Machine

Foamed sheets made from biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid) that are produced using environmentally friendly methods. They can be used for food trays, agricultural products, medical supplies, packaging, and cushioning materials.

Plasteco Co., Ltd. has consistently focused on "plastic production that considers people and the Earth" since its establishment. Through our unique technology that uses a safe inert gas with a low global warming potential to foam resins, we conduct research on plastic products and manufacturing methods that address environmental and resource issues, as well as the development and manufacturing of related equipment. With this technology, we have successfully achieved high-density foaming of plant-based biodegradable resins like PLA (polylactic acid), which were previously difficult to foam. Our foamed plastics are carbon neutral, derived from non-petroleum sources, and do not generate excess CO₂ during manufacturing and disposal processes, making them advanced materials that can be safely used in the future. Our foamed sheets are 100% biodegradable and do not use chemical foaming agents. Amid growing global concern over plastic waste, they can be applied in various fields as new environmentally friendly products, including food trays, packaging materials, and medical products. We have vacuum forming equipment and molds for testing, allowing for prototyping from sheets to formed products.

This is a block board made of biodegradable foam beads that are non-petroleum-based, carbon-neutral, and have low environmental impact. Ideal for packaging materials, cushioning, and various three-dimensional shapes!

Beads made from plant-derived, biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid) are foamed using a unique extrusion foaming technology developed by Plasteco, which utilizes low environmental impact inert gases (CO2, N2) and are then steam-formed into block and board shapes. They can be processed into your desired shape through cutting and other methods! They can be used as an alternative to traditional expanded polystyrene for packaging materials and cushioning, as well as for three-dimensional objects and display items. High expansion foaming with a safe and inexpensive foaming agent (inert gas) also allows for a reduction in raw materials! PLA resin, which has a high raw material cost, can be foamed and molded at a low cost.

Renewed with a new model! This is a gas supply device capable of precisely and stably supplying inert gases necessary for foam molding, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2).

【Renewal & New Model Launch!】 - Smaller and lighter than the previous model - Equipped with a 12-inch large screen touch panel - Precise control of gas supply volume is possible through data linkage with various molding machines Foaming with CO₂ or N₂ experiences significant changes in bubble diameter and foaming conditions due to minor fluctuations in supply volume. Additionally, traditional pump methods using pressure control have seen supply volume fluctuate due to pressure changes at the gas injection point of the molding machine. Plasteco's supercritical inert gas quantitative supply device maintains a constant supply mass and automatically adjusts the supply pressure to follow the pressure at the supply point, enabling precise control of the supply volume at all times and achieving uniform and fine foaming. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the gas addition amount through data linkage (optional) with extrusion and injection molding machines, stabilization of foaming ratios and reduction in the weight of molded products become possible. It can accommodate a wide range of applications, from small flow rates for small molding machines to large flow rates for large molding machines, as well as RIM molding and other uses. It also supports flow control, high-pressure compatibility, and other options, making it suitable for various applications.

In summer construction sites, the surface temperature of the ground plates and the heat reflection can affect the working environment. In particular, steel plates tend to retain heat when exposed to sunlight, making it a challenge to implement heatstroke prevention measures and improve the site environment for workers. Hyper CLT ground plates are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. As wooden ground plates, they can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways, serving as a versatile alternative to steel plates in various civil engineering sites. In actual sites, there are cases where the surface temperature can differ by about 20 degrees compared to steel plates, making them an easy-to-suggest material for reducing heat reflection and preventing heatstroke in summer. The 5×10 plate weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which also helps reduce construction burdens. Additionally, they feature noise reduction, environmental consideration, and CO2 fixation, which are unique to wood. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these ground plates are also easy to utilize for innovative ideas and safety measures in public works. Companies looking to improve summer site environments are encouraged to consider Hyper CLT ground plates.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
