Live Optimization, Guided Interaction and Control
A control system that doesn't just operate – it guides, supports, optimizes during the process, and provides complete control over your entire blow molding system.
Over 40 years of expertise in plastics processing and innovative solutions
AST Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH is a leading European manufacturer of plastic containers and drums with decades of experience in blow molding technology. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability drives everything we do.
Decades of experience in blow molding combined with continuous investment in state-of-the-art machinery. We manufacture according to the latest technology standards.
Certified quality management (ISO 9001:2015) and energy management (ISO 50001). Our products meet the strict requirements of ADR (UN approval) and are HALAL certified.
Short delivery times thanks to large warehousing and perfectly organized logistics. Four production sites across Europe ensure comprehensive supply security.
With our CIPACKS (CIrcular PACKaging Solutions) take-back system, we close the loop. We clean and reuse containers or recycle them to create new products with up to 100% recycled content.
Four production sites serving customers across Europe:
To maximize overall production efficiency, we build our own blow molding machines equipped with our own custom-tailored control system designed specifically for production needs. This vertical integration gives us complete control over both hardware and software, allowing us to optimize every aspect of the manufacturing process.
A comprehensive control system designed to revolutionize extrusion blow molding operations
BlowLOGIC manages everything from melting the plastic to shaping it into bottles, jerrycans, or technical parts with precision and efficiency. Built specifically for extrusion blow molding machines.
Developed by AST in collaboration with Beckhoff, based on current TwinCAT 3 technology. Combines practical production experience with cutting-edge automation platform.
Unlike rigid "black-box" controls, BlowLOGIC is modular and open. Modern HTML5-based visualization using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for maximum flexibility and customization.
