PiovanGroup, the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of automation systems for the storage, transport, and processing of polymers, bio-resins, recycled polymers, food liquids, and powders will be present at the 20th edition of PLAST 2026, the international trade fair dedicated to the plastics industry, scheduled for June 9–12, 2026, at Fiera Milano, Rho.
At Stand C81-C91, Hall 24, PiovanGroup with its brands Piovan, Doteco, Pelletron y Thermal Care, will exhibit the latest technological innovations for process automation, suitable for all major application sectors: PET & rPET preforms and bottles, rigid packaging, automotive components, technical products, medical devices, technical and thermoforming sheets, flexible film, tubes, profiles and cables, fiber and strapping, recycling, and compounds.
Among the Piovan technologies on display:
SmartForesight, the predictive maintenance solution that redefines system reliability thanks to intelligent remote monitoring technology, will be presented for the first time in Milan.
With real-time notifications, customized reports, and direct technical support, SmartForesight maximizes customers’ profitable uptime. The solution developed by Piovan continuously analyzes data from GN, GP, and GMP dryers, revolutionizing plant maintenance management. Thanks to SmartForesight’s configurable monitoring features, it ensures predictive control and accurate surveillance, adaptable to specific customer needs and the operational reality of each plant.
Under the Doteco brand, Blendo Adroit will be on display, the gravimetric loss-in-weight feeder designed for production requiring high precision even at low flow rates. Designed for easy installation on the extruder feed inlet to replace the conventional loading hopper or for mezzanine installation, it is available for 2 to 6 ingredients and with maximum flow rates of up to 200, 400, 800, and 1300 kg/h.
Pelletron, the Group company specializing in the production of conveying and dust collection solutions for plastics, will showcase the C20 Deduster, a compact dust collector designed to remove dust, filaments, or angel hair. The solution is particularly well-suited for the production of lenses and semi-transparent or transparent components that require special attention to aesthetics. The C20’s design facilitates retrofitting, making the dust collector ideal for both injection molding and extrusion processes.
Thermal Care, the group’s brand specializing in industrial cooling, will introduce NQA to the Italian market for the first time, an energy-efficient chiller featuring high-performance scroll compressors, compact micro-channel condensers y an advanced PLC control system with a touchscreen, designed to ensure maximum reliability, precise temperature control, and ease of use in a compact, all-in-one design.
"Integrating Global Innovation": integrated technology at the service of the plastics industry
The theme guiding the Group’s presence at Plast is “Integrating Global Innovation,” a vision already successfully presented at the K 2025 trade show in Düsseldorf: integrating technologies and services directly into production processes to reduce cycle times, energy consumption, and errors, while ensuring high quality standards even with increasingly complex materials.
“Participating in Plast represents a special opportunity for us to meet with customers from the Italian and European markets,” says Paolo Nicosia, Group Managing Director of Sales Subsidiaries at PiovanGroup. “It is a concrete opportunity to be close to our customers, present our latest technological innovations, and highlight our ability to support the customer at every stage: from design through to installation and plant commissioning, thanks to an extensive network with 18 production facilities, over 40 service and sales branches, and 390 technicians dedicated to technical support worldwide.”
