Extrusion International 5-2026

23 Extrusion International 5/2026 New Container Series – Three Functions – One Interface – Easy Integration Achberg is expanding its product portfoliowith a new roll- er-container series featuring enhanced functionality, speci - cally designed to meet the requirements of modern plastics processing operations. The solution combines several key functions within a single system while signi cantly reduc - ing the effort required to integrate it into existing control systems. In day-to-day industrial operation, in- terface issues often arise when individual components such as locking systems, level sensors andwarning lights need to be com- bined. This is where Achberg’s new solu- tion comes in: the advanced roller-contain- ers combine several key functions that are pre-installed, pre-wired and ready for use straight from the factory. The functional scope includes an elec- tromechanical cover lock, an integrated level sensor and a red warning light, whose function can be assigned as required. All signals are bundled through a 10-pin con- nector and made available to the higher- level control system of the central material handling system. The current range com- prises two round roller-containers with ca- pacities of 120 litres and 215 litres, as well as one rectangular container with a capac- ity of 200 litres. “Our objective was to transform the con- tainer from a passive transport container into an active component of the process chain,” explains the company. “Users ben- e t from simpli ed integration, a clearly de ned interface and a signi cant cost advantage compared with using individual components.” By combining multiple functions within a single system, planning, coordination and installation efforts are signi cantly re - duced. At the same time, the solution of- fers an attractive economic advantage, as separate components, additional wiring and individual adaptation work are no lon- ger required. The material container is particularly suit- able for plastics processing applications where process reliability and transparency are critical, for example in injection mould- ing and extrusion operations.
