AUSPACK PLUS 2013 HEADS TO SYDNEY

The largest biennial packaging and processing machinery and materials exhibition in Australia, AUSPACK PLUS, will be heading to the Sydney Showgrounds, Sydney Olympic Park from the 7th to the 10th of May 2013.

According to Luke Kasprzak, Exhibition Sales Executive, Exhibitions & Trade Fairs (ETF), “An extensive survey was undertaken earlier this year with visitors and exhibitors of AUSPACK PLUS 2011 to determine how we can offer an even more diverse and successful exhibition in 2013,”

“The results of the survey have guided our objectives for the Sydney show and not only will we continue to grow the processing and packaging machinery side of the event, but an additional key

was to focus on welcoming the materials side of the industry to both exhibit and attend AUSPACK PLUS 2013. Materials refers to all

through to components and ancillaries of packaging and processing machinery. This is a side of the industry that is sometimes overlooked and yet is critical to the success of production lines.” Mr Kasprzak said...More

Reinventing the Wheel – It is Possible!In September 2011, smart released a new concept vehicle, the “smart forvision”, the new concept vehicle from smart, is the

thermoplastic wheel rims. However, they are not just a concept, their performance has already been tested for high-volume production.The all-plastic wheel rim is over 30 percent lighter than a standard production aluminium wheel. The plastic rim weighs only six kilos and is made of the new specialty polyamide.This contributes to a noticeable reduction in the vehicle’s weight by a total of 12 kilos and translates into lower fuel consumption when t

the vehicle is equipped with a conventional engine. In the case of a battery-powered auto such as the “smart forvision”, the result is greater range.The complete rim (to be technically correct: the wheel) – consists of two parts: the actual supporting component and a wheel cover in the same material.. Both parts have a supporting function and withstand high loads under driving conditions. The wheel cover can be painted in any color used for the vehicle.“Thermoset rims are already being used in racing and for short production runs”, explained Heiko Hess, who is responsible for wheel development at BASF.“ However, compared to thermoplastic rims,

which can be injection molded, they are considerably more complex, more expensive to manufacture and thus unsuitable for high-volume production”.As is often the case in a change of material, the design needs to be revisited rather than a straight swap on the original design. This allows us to break the existing rules and optimise the design of products with the new material.

Australian Researchers Grab Prime Minister`s 2011 Prize for Plastic Innovations Two Australian scientists have won US$305,800 for using organic chemistry to control the structure, composition and properties of polymers. The process allows plastics and other polymers to be "custom-built" for various applications, for example, plastic solar cells, drug delivery, paints, adhesives and lubricants. In traditional plastic production, the reaction that creates compounds tends to be rapid and uncontrollable. But Solomon and Rizzardo discovered a way to regulate the speed at which polymer molecules combine.

Research Organization (CSIRO), and Professor David Solomon, from the University of Melbourne, won the prestigious Prime Minister`s 2011 Prize for Science. The prize is awarded annually for important

The scientists` polymer research is used in laboratories and factories of more than 60 companies globally, including major brands like DuPont, L`Oréal, IBM, and Dulux. Their work has been cited more than 12,000

Solomon and Rizzardo analyzed the construction of polymers and discovered a way to stop the polymerization reaction after just two or three molecular links have formed, allowing them to control the speed of polymerization and regulate the polymer`s content and structure.The pair patented the process in 1985 and in 1990 their paper about the process became one of the most widely cited in polymer chemistry.

PLASTIC SAXAPHONE The Grafton Saxophone was an injection molded, cream-colored acrylic plastic alto saxophone with metal keys, manufactured in London, England by the Grafton Company, and later by 'John E. Dallas & Sons Ltd'.

Only one model, the Grafton Altos was ever made, due to the challenges in making larger models (i.e. the tenor) with 1950s plastic technology. Production commenced in 1950 and ended after approximately ten years.

However, a few last examples were assembled from residual parts circa 1967. All tools, machinery and jigs required to manufacture the Grafton were sold for scrap and subsequently destroyed in 1968. Source: Wikipedia

Polystruct Launch Success LFT in Australia

The recent launch of Polystruct – Duromer’s range of Long Fibre Thermoplastic (LFT) compounds, to the Australian plastics industry was a huge success. Feedback from our customers has been very encouraging. Several significant projects have been initiated to evaluate Polystruct compounds in a wide variety of applications requiring superior mechanical properties not normally available using short fibre thermoplastic compounds.

Dr Raj Mathur from Plasticomp and Andrew Pfefferman from Duromer conducted seminars and targeted customer visits in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The intent of these meetings was to explain the virtues of Polystruct when coupled with a scientific evaluation of tooling and part design, fibre and polymer substrate selection and correct injection moulding technique.

Dr Raj and Andrew shared their years of experience gained from a successful history of implementing LFT technology into a broad range of applications and industries including parts for power generation, water filtration, aerospace, automotive, fluid distribution, safety products, sporting equipment and structural components.

Several case studies were highlighted and discussed to illustrate the many benefits that can be gained through the use of LFT compounds such as Polystruct. These benefits include weight reduction, part consolidation, reduced manufacturing costs and flexibility of design all due to the enhanced physical properties of Polystruct.

If you are interested in exploring the benefits of using Polystruct LFT compounds for any application from metal replacement to new part design, the team at Duromer are ready to help.

You can find more information and technical data specific to Polystruct compounds on our website – www.polystruct.com or feel free to contact Duromer directly on +61 2 8797 0277.

JAPANESE PLASTIC FOODPlastic Food Almost Good Enough to Eat

Fancy menus may be enough for most restaurant diners around the world, but not in Japan where image is everything and before going in for a bite, people want to see exactly what the food they want to order looks like.

That’s where Japan’s realistic plastic food displays come into play. Japanese fake food models can be traced back to 1917, but it wasn’t until 1926 that a restaurant owner decided to use them in a glass casing, to attract more customers. The idea was a big hit and people

restaurants followed his example and fake food display making became a lucrative business. In 1932, Iwasaki Ryuzo set up a company that made and sold fake foods to restaurants and today it’s Japan’s top plastic food manufacturer. Business is very lucrative, as estimates show it produces revenues of billions of yen every year. For an entire menu, executed to perfection, luxury restaurants will pay up to one million yen.($A120,000)

In the old days, fake food models were made from wax. It was melted and poured into molds made from kanten (a seaweed jelly), but today manufacturers use silicon molds in which they pour liquid plastic and heat it up until it hardens. Modern materials and techniques apparently make the food considerably more realistic. Restaurants send fake food makers the exact item they want replicated, along with photos.

(PVC) and cooked in an oven. Then comes the really hard part – getting the details right. Oil based paints, regular brushes; knives and carving tools are all part of fake food artist’s arsenal, but they all keep their techniques a secret. In Tokyo there is an area (Kappa Bashi) with an entire street with shops that sells nothing but plastic food. It is expensive.Many a foreigner has been caught with a mixture of the real and plastic sushi at a meal; a little hard on teeth but great fun after some sake.
