Programmable Logic Controller and Control Upgrades
Aging control systems and outdated electronics often limit the performance and longevity of extrusion blow moulding equipment. Sourcing legacy spare parts has become increasingly difficult across the industry.

Operating with continuous extrusion or accumulation methods, our Portsmouth Plastics offers a smart, adaptable solution—compatible with all major platforms, which are designed for easy integration, it breathes new life into machines that still hold strong production value.
We’ve successfully implemented more than 50 control modifications over the past 7 years to our blow moulding machines and directly on-site at customer facilities. Our control upgrade ensures improved reliability, efficiency, and ease of operation.
