Engineering a Seamless Solution for Vinidex Solutions

Machining

Vinidex Solutions, a leading provider of Australian pipe systems and solutions, recently acquired Yatala Plastics and relocated them to Coopers Plains. As part of the acquisition, Vinidex also acquired a plastic extruder that was incompatible with the specific extrusion dies used in their Coopers Plains production processes. This misalignment posed a significant challenge, and Vinidex needed an expert engineering solution to adapt the extruder to their existing dies, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.

The challenge

Incompatibility between the newly acquired plastic extruder and existing extrusion dies.

Different brands of machinery not designed to work together.

The need to ensure smooth, uninterrupted production and maintain high-quality standards.

The solution

Our team of experienced engineers developed a comprehensive solution to overcome the challenges posed by the incompatible machinery.

Steps Taken:

Thorough Analysis: Conducted an in-depth analysis of both the plastic extruder and the extrusion dies.

Custom Prototype Development: Designed and developed a custom prototype to bridge the gap between the incompatible components.

Precise Modifications: Modified the extruder to align with Vinidex’s specific die requirements, employing advanced design tools and techniques.

Rigorous Testing: Commissioned and rigorously tested the solution to ensure flawless operation between the extruder and dies.
