💡 Unlocking Efficiency and Sustainability in Automated Packaging Machinery 📈 The automated packaging industry is evolving rapidly, driven by the need for higher efficiency, reduced cycle times, and sustainable operations. One of the most exciting advancements shaping this sector is the strategic integration of composite materials, particularly carbon fiber, in the design of moving components such as levers, rollers, robotic arms and grippers. Why carbon fiber? Its unique combination of high strength and low weight offers unparalleled benefits: - Faster Cycle Times: The reduced mass of moving elements minimizes inertia, enabling faster operations without compromising precision; - Lower Energy Consumption: Lightweight components require less energy to accelerate and decelerate, aligning with the industry's push toward greener manufacturing; - Enhanced Durability: Carbon fiber's superior resistance to corrosion ensures reliable performance, even under demanding conditions. By adopting these advanced materials, packaging machinery manufacturers can meet the dual challenge of increasing productivity and reducing environmental impact, paving the way for a more sustainable future. Are you leveraging the power of composites in your designs? Let’s discuss how these innovations can transform your operations! SITA Compositi is a perfect partner for such improvements! #PackagingMachinery #CarbonFiber #Sustainability #Innovation #CompositeMaterials

Give credit where credit's due. One of the main reasons I went into Additive Manufacturing in 2017 was the promise of a resource-efficient future. Making just the amount of parts you need, at/or close to the location of demand, with less waste and decreased supply chain and logistics were compelling arguments to get my engines going. With its new SAF technology and ReLife PA12 material, Stratasys is taking the necessary steps toward achieving a greener, resource-efficient state. Up to 89% Lower Carbon Footprint: A Fraunhofer IPA-led LCA study revealed a substantial reduction in the carbon footprint of AM using ReLife compared to standard PA12 production. Significant Cost Savings: Service bureaus like Wehl Green have reported up to a 20% reduction in total cost per part by utilizing ReLife and are moving towards the circular economy goals. Enhanced Material Efficiency: By reusing waste powder, the ReLife minimizes material waste and maximizes resource utilization. This is no longer a baby step towards resource-efficient and sustainable manufacturing, this is real and tangible! #sustainability #AM #stratasys

Excited to share our latest white paper on the cost and CO2 emission dynamics of batteries for electric vehicles. The paper delves into battery design, lifecycle, and the case for repair vs. replacement, offering comprehensive cost and emission estimations. Results show repair as a beneficial option, especially during the warranty period, proving to be more economically and environmentally efficient. Even post-warranty, repair remains a viable choice, except shortly before the battery's end of life. With the growing integration of battery cells into vehicle structures, this study emphasizes the importance of considering repairability in new battery designs for the most economical and eco-friendly solutions. Enjoy! #henkel #loctite #evdesign #evtechnology #evbattery #automotivedesign #propulsion

What are the limits and potentials of recycled rubber Overview of projects done and future options   -       SMART (Sustainable Moulding of Articles from Recycled Tyres) -       GreenPack (Fully recyclable 100% PET package for food contact with O2 barrier, improved transparency and low CO2 footprint) -       SMARTFAN (Smart by Design and Intelligent by Architecture for turbine blade fan and structural components systems) -       TYRECS (Tyre Recycling for Clean Seas) Are just some of the projects on which my team has been working over the recent years and that highlighted a significant potential of synergies between Recycled Tyre Materials (RTMs) and other recycled materials through different technologies. They disclosed significant know-how for new projects Prof. Fabrizio Quadrini is author of over 260 manuscripts accepted in international journals and conferences (184 on Scopus, Hindex =21).

ALD‘s EBuild® 850 is a new player in #AdditiveManufacturing, complementing our leading inert gas atomizers for the production of high-quality spherical #MetalPowders. By combining large-scale powder production with our EBuild® systems, we are further advancing E-PBF (electron beam powder bed fusion) as an economically viable technology for industrial applications.   A common challenge in metal powder fabrication is managing rejected powder that doesn’t meet the required size specifications for modern powder bed systems. Without a solution, this rejected powder can end up as waste, contributing to environmental concerns.   To address this, #ALD has developed an innovative powder recycling process using additive manufacturing. The EBuild® 850 system can process powders with a broad distribution range, making it ideal for both large-scale part production and #recycling. By utilizing E-PBF to create powder-filled #ingots, the system achieves build rates exceeding 1000 cm³ per hour—setting a new industry benchmark. These ingots can then be converted back into high-quality powder in ALD’s #EIGA systems, helping to promote a sustainable circular economy.   In addition, this approach also offers safer, more efficient handling of powder, as the powder-filled ingots are easier to manage and store than loose powder.   ALD is dedicated to advancing sustainable practices in the industrial sector, leading the way toward a greener future. Don’t miss to meet our ALD Experts at #Formnext2024 next week. You can visit us in Hall 12, Booth B89. #sustainability #engineering #ALDVacuumTechnology
