HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Atlanta Industries, Inc. traces its humble beginnings in Magdalena St. Binondo, Manila as a
hardware store selling GI (galvanized iron) fittings and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes in early
70’s. In 1976, it was renamed to Atlantic Industrial Sales Corporation, a wholesaler and direct
seller to the industrial sector.

In 1978, it acquired Parisian Vinyl Corporation which was later changed into Atlanta Vinyl
Corporation, a PVC pipe manufacturing company located in Pasig City. Since then, its progress
has become evident. In 1986, it was renamed to Atlanta Industries, Inc.
Years ago, Atlanta’s manufacturing facilities span more than 60,000 square meters with modern
processing and quality-testing machineries. A manpower complement of 600 highly-skilled
technicians and experienced engineers go on daily round-the-clock shifts to ensure that they
meet production deadlines on time. As a result, Atlanta Industries, Inc.
The Atlanta Industries has an initial annual production output of 6,000 metric tons of high quality
PVC pipes and 1,500 metric tons of high grade PE pipes. Atlanta is producing 1,500 metric tons
PVC and PE pipe-based products monthly or 18,000 metric tons per year.
These include pipes and fittings, electrical wire trucking, architectural and decorative, roofing
and accessories, structural products, fencing, poultry and agricultural, marine products, school
building, chair and desk, geomembrane sheets, hardware items and well pump and
accessories.
Presently, Atlanta’s Industries Inc. manufacturing facilities expands from 60,000 to 66,000
square meters with modern processing and quality-testing machineries. Also, from 1500 metric
tons, Atlanta became 2000 metric tons PVC and PE pipe-based product monthly or 24000
metric tons per year. It also has 7 warehouse and 10 production center.
Atlanta Industries (Guangzhou), Ltd. Produces Polyethylene (PE) pipes for water service,
telecommunications system and gas piping system.
Advantage include: These proven qualities make Atlanta pipes & fittings superior to other kinds
of conventional piping material and the top choice in the mining, chemical process, sanitation,
irrigation, household and other industrial piping applications.

RAW MATERIALS

Atlanta pipes and fittings are made of choice prime grade raw materials and manufactured
under a strict quality control procedure using the latest and most advanced extrusion and
injection equipment

Advantages include: lightness, high chemical resistance, low flow resistance, leak proof joints,
easy installation and cost effectiveness. These proven qualities make Atlanta superior to other
kinds of conventional piping material and top choice in the mining, chemical process, sanitation,
irrigation, household and other industrial piping application.
Plastics- are materials contain an essential ingredient of an organic substance of large
molecular weight,

2 classifications of plastic

Thermoplastic- a plastic the repeatedly can be softened by heating and hardened by cooling
through a temperature range characteristics of the plastic, and that in the softened state can be
shaped by flow into articles by molding or extrusion.
Thermosets- a plastic which, when cured by application of heat or chemical means, changes
into substantially infusible and insoluble product.

Resin-is a material often used in the production of plastics and rubbers. PVC resin is a white
powder commonly used to produce thermoplastics.

Dioctyl phthalate - is clear, colourless, viscous liquid with a slight, characteristic odor. One of the
most important plasticizer, mainly used in the processing of PVC resin.

Stabilizer- prevents such initial elimination of hydrogen chloride from PVC.As PVC is heated to
soften during the extrusion or moulding process, prevention of hydrogen chloride elimination
due to heat and subsequent decomposition is required.

Stearic acid-is widely used in PVC. PVC heat stabilizer, has excellent lubricity and better light
and heat stability. In the plastic PVC pipe, the stearic acid to help prevent processing of the
“coking” in the processing of PVC film to add is an effective heat stabilizer, also can be placed in
defensive violence caused by sulfur in the finished film discoloration

Fillers -such as gypsum, calcium carbonate (limestone), kaolin (clay) and alumina trihydrate can
be added to resin to enhance performance and reduce manufacturing costs. These additives
are used to make polyester resin more chemical and corrosion resistant, act as a fire retardant,
enhance shrink-resistance and be thermally stable, as well as capable of withstanding weather
conditions.

Colourant -dye, pigment, or other substance that colours something.

MACHINERIES
1. Injection Machine
2.Mixer & Extrusion Machine

MANUFACTURING FLOW

Step 1- Raw Materials- It is the first stage where all the raw materials that are needed in
fabricating the products of Atlanta are gathered together in the preparation of mixing stage.

Step 2- Mixer- In this part all the powered base raw materials and chemicals of Atlanta are
mixed together.

Step 3- Extrusion - Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional

profile. A material is pushed through a die (a certain manufacturing tool) of the desired
cross-section. Followed by the MT Vacuum Sizing Tanks provide a stable vacuum for precise
sizing of tube and profile extrusions up to 4.5 inches {114.3 mm} in diameter. Water/air
separation technology improves product tolerances and surface finishes and allows for
repeatable quality and minimizes scrap. Followed by the Water Cooling tank which provides a
water to cool down the product so that it will not be reshaped in another form and also it helps
the product to dry fast. Next is the Puller where the finished product is been pulled out from the
shaper.

Step 4- Fabrication - Metal fabrication is the building of metal structures by cutting,

bending, assembling processes. It is a value added process that involves the construction of
machines and structures from various raw materials.
Step 5- Warehouse – Where manufactured goods may be stored before their export or
distribution for sale. Atlanta has 7 warehouses including the warehouse for raw materials and
defective products (for recycling)
