Concurrent Events Unveiled
CHINAPLAS, to be held during April 13-16 in Shenzhen, PR China, together with a series of exciting concurrent events, to explore hot topics like 5G, digital manufacturing, circular economy, antibacterial & sterilization etc. with the shareholders in the industries
Circular Economy and Sustainable Packaging
Plastiblow, among the first in the sector to develop electric machines for low energy consumption extrusion blow molding, has long been committed to the reduction of the use of virgin plastic, because it has developed multilayer co-extrusion technologies capable of processing more recycled materials for the production of new containers
Think Big, Think Smart – Extra-Wide CPP-Lines for Maximum Cost-Efficiency at High Volumes
When it comes the production of CPP fi lm, there is a clear trend towards high-volume production. But is the ability of to manufacture high quantities at good qualities alone enough to get the edge in today’s markets? SML has the answer
Perfection in the Detection of Impurities in Liquids
OCS relaunched the Liquid Analyser LA20 with the state-of-the art inspection technology. With its modern design and the use of innovative camera technology, the smallest impurities in liquids can be detected and analysed with the help of the hardware and software components supplied
Replacement and Repair of Pipes of Different Materials by PVC-O
In the last 20 years, numerous actions have been undertaken to modernize traditional networks, this article aims to analyze some of the most important reasons why, in many of these actions, replacements and renovations of important sections of pipes made of different materials are being undertaken and why, in many of these cases, Oriented PVC (PVC-O), TOM® Pipes from Molecor are being used
The Field of PET Bottle-to-Bottle Recycling further improved
Beverage brand owners worldwide rely on the LSP technology of Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen (NGR) for the processing of post-consumer PET. In order to meet the growing interest, a further LSP plant has been available for demonstration and testing purposes since March 2021
