Helping To Improve Crop Revenue And Ease Of Harvest, With Cooling Diffused Greenhouse Films

• Durability
• Toughness
• Cooling effect
• Cost optimization

Challenge:

Heavy rain and wind can limit production of tropical open field crops. While greenhouses protect against weather extremes, conventional films admit too much solar radiation, raising temperatures that limit yields.

Important considerations for greenhouse in tropical climates include:

• Durability – films need to be able to withstand heavy rains and typhoon winds over multiple crop cycles
• Solar radiation levels – Light transmission needs to be maintained at levels of between PAR 400 to 700 nm which is important for photosynthesis to take place, while limiting infrared radiation within the greenhouse.
• Light conditions – sunlight should be filtered and diffused to ensure uniform light distribution inside the greenhouse.

Greenhouse films developed for tropical climates can help to meet these challenges to improve productivity and extend greenhouse life.

Solution:

ExxonMobil, Ampacet, and Vis and Son Company Limited (VSC) worked together to study durable cooling diffused films designed to meet the challenges of tropical greenhouses.

Based in Thailand, VSC is one of the leading companies in the manufacture of polyethylene films and sheets. They produce an extensive range of agricultural films products from greenhouse films to mulch to grow bags.

Ampacet, a global masterbatch producer, specializes in color and additive masterbatches for plastics with a history of agriculture and plasticulture expertise.

The study combined ExxonMobil’s Exceed XP performance polyethylene with Ampacet’s HEATSCREEN 34 cooling additive and VSC’s advanced extrusion technology to produce a 150 µm cooling diffused film that delivers improved durability as well as optimal light and heat transmission properties.

This cooling diffused film was put to the test in an organic watermelon greenhouse in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.

These were the observations:

• Durability – The film structures have shown high retention of the tensile properties under sun exposure for more than 2 years and they continue to be in use. They are also proven to last > 5 years in accelerated aging exposure under WOMS Chamber vs market reference which drops below threshold within 2 years.
• Toughness – Exceed XP performance polyethylene enables converters to easily fabricate exceptionally tough films with very high dart impact and puncture resistance, and tensile strength at break for high-integrity greenhouse and walk-in tunnel covers.
• Temperature – with the cooling additive, temperatures inside the greenhouse especially during hot season is seen to be lowered by 2 to 5º C.

In addition, using Exceed XP and Enable performance polyethylene to replace LLDPE/LDPE blends helps converters to reduce the number of resins that need to be sourced hence reducing inventory costs. Additionally, better bubble stability and ease of extrusion further optimizes the solutions and delivers opportunities for potential high output.

Results:

Reduced temperatures – the cooling diffused film helps to reflect infrared radiation (IR) which effectively reduces temperatures inside greenhouse when compared to conventional film by an average of 2-5º C in tropical climates. The new film also helps to provide consistent light transmission which allows better light diffusion (comfortably above 50% levels throughout the 24-month testing period) inside the greenhouse, giving excellent uniformity to crops in terms of shape, size, color, taste, as well as reducing leaf scorching.

Excellent aging performance – the new film helps reduce the risk of premature breakage, extending the growing season. It is compatible with functional additives and antioxidants to retain mechanical properties and high diffusivity (through haze), which are even more critical as the film ages. It also exhibits excellent aging performance for long lasting, durable solutions, proving it can withstand the rigors of installation and extreme weather.

Mr. Montchai and Mrs. Pimwalan, owners of the organic watermelon farm, are very satisfied with the results after replacing the conventional film with the new cooling diffused film for two crop cycles. They said, “Our crop yield has increased after using this film. The average weight of our watermelons increased from 1-2 kg to 3-4 kg with one melon going up to 6 kg. The average harvest time has been reduced and we can now harvest watermelons in 45-50 days compared to 60-70 days previously. With all this, we are especially pleased that our average income per 13m x 30m greenhouse has increased by 35%.”

“Ampacet and VSC have been valuable partners in this project,” said Tan Wee Long, Head of Market Development, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. “VSC’s insights of the Thai agricultural industry and their state-of-the-art processes and Ampacet’s advanced portfolio of additives and extensive community outreach were critical to the success of the trial of this film formulation. Through each party’s insight, we hope to improve farmers’ livelihoods.”

Benefits for other crops – The new cooling diffused greenhouse film provides the same benefits for capsicum, cannabis*, sweet pepper, tomato, chrysanthemum flower, and hemp.

Covestro Strengthens Sustainability And Competitiveness Of TDI Production

• Double-digit million investment in TDI plant in Dormagen
• Measures further improve energy efficiency and CO₂ footprint
• Consistent alignment of production with customer needs

To further strengthen the sustainability and competitiveness of TDI (toluene diisocyanate) production for the manufacture of flexible foams in Europe, Covestro is investing a mid to high double-digit million euro amount in the modernization of its production plant in Dormagen by 2025. The plant was commissioned in early 2015 and is considered one of the most advanced TDI production facilities in the world due to the use of the gas phase technology developed by Covestro. The work will include the installation of a modern reactor that will enable the reaction energy to be used for energy-efficient steam generation in the future.

The modernisation will significantly improve the plant’s energy efficiency and thereby reduce CO₂ emissions. After the modernization, the plant will consume up to 80 percent less energy than conventional processes for the production of TDI, and greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by a further 22,000 tons per year. This not only makes a significant contribution to achieving the company’s climate targets and safeguarding European TDI production in the face of sharply increased energy costs, but also improves the sustainability performance of the customer industries. The first phase of the project has now been successfully completed with the lifting of the equipment into the plant. All further measures will be implemented gradually until spring 2025. This will ensure a continuous supply of TDI to customers.

“We want to continue to grow in Germany and drive forward the transformation to climate-neutral production. Nevertheless, the general conditions, especially the high energy prices, are making it increasingly difficult for us to make such investments,” says Dr. Thorsten Dreier, Member of the Board of Management and Chief Technology Officer at Covestro. “Policy-makers must finally take effective measures to restore Germany’s competitiveness in terms of energy prices and ensure a reliable basis for the climate-neutral transformation of industry.”

 Dormagen as TDI Hub in Europe

The TDI plant in Dormagen has an annual capacity of 300,000 tons. It uses the gas phase technology developed by Covestro, which even before modernization required up to 60 percent less energy and up to 80 percent less solvent than conventional processes. The current investment will significantly increase the efficiency and therefore sustainability of the plant even further. TDI is an important raw material for soft foams, which provide comfort in mattresses and upholstered furniture as well as

The current investment will significantly increase the efficiency and therefore sustainability of the plant even further. TDI is an important raw material for soft foams, which provide comfort in mattresses and upholstered furniture as well as car seats, for example. The material will continue to play an important role for Covestro and the processing industries in the future.

“In Dormagen, we maintain the largest production facility for TDI in Europe, which means that the location plays a central role in the reliable supply of our customers in the region. Now we continue to consistently align ourselves with their needs. The investment not only underlines our commitment to the European market, but also enables our customers to further reduce their indirect CO₂ emissions on the way to developing climate-neutral and circular products for the consumer markets,” says Dr. Christine Mendoza-Frohn, Head of Performance Materials Sales EMEA and LATAM. “At the same time, this investment also underlines our ambition to play a leading role in climate protection and the circular economy together with our partners along the value chain.”

As a company, Covestro is completely aligning itself with the circular economy. Along the way, the company has set itself the goal of achieving operational climate neutrality by 2035. Increasing the efficiency of existing production processes is an important lever for this. From 2005 to 2020, Covestro was able to reduce its specific energy consumption – i.e. the energy consumption per ton of product manufactured – by about 35 percent. By 2035, the specific primary energy demand of the three NRW sites is to be further reduced by around 25 percent compared to 2020 through targeted energy management. Covestro aims to save around 1,100 GWh of primary energy per year from 2035. This corresponds to the annual consumption of more than 50,000 average German households.* Within the next five years, almost half of this potential is to be realized.

Alio Industries Stimulates Innovation In Health And Life Science Sectors

ALIO Industries’ ultra-precise motion control systems are indispensable in a variety of health and life science applications due to their unparalleled accuracy, reliability, and repeatability. These systems enable ground-breaking advancements by ensuring meticulous manipulation and positioning, vital for the success of genome sequencing, the manufacture of medical and clinical devices, and digital pathology.

Genome Sequencing. For genome sequencing — where even minor variations in the stage velocity or drift of the trigger clock can cause poor imaging — ALIO is renowned for providing market-leading motion control solutions. The company promotes increased throughput, reduced run time, and lower costs per run coupled with high quality and repeatable imaging by creating a smoother, continuous scan process using a monolithic XY stage and a low friction vertical Z-stage for focusing. Z focusing can compensate for both variation in the sample and the flatness variation of the XY stage. The ideal technology for achieving the optimum move and settle time is a linear motor stage with a magnetic counterbalance. The linear motor allows for maximum acceleration and deceleration and provides exceptional position stability.

Manufacture of Medical and Clinical Devices. Accurate motion control is also crucial in manufacturing medical and clinical devices like diagnostic imaging machines and video endoscopes. For such exacting applications, ALIO provides the Angulares Hybrid Hexapod, which features precision crossed roller bearing guides, optical incremental or absolute encoder feedback on all axes, linear motor and/or servo ball screw drives, unlimited programmable tool center point locations and coordinate offsets, and zero backlash on all axes. This makes the Angulares capable of unlimited XY travel, Z travel of 62 mm (which can be increased to 208 mm using other tripod models); tip/tilt travel of 60 degrees (+/- 30 degrees) with continuous 360 degree Theta-Z; XYZ bidirectional repeatability of less than +/- 100nm; velocity up to 100 mm/second XY and Z; and less than 10 nanometers linear and 0.1 arc-seconds angular minimum incremental motion.

Digital Pathology. ALIO also has a wealth of experience in the area of digital pathology, where the ability to manipulate specimens and imaging devices with unparalleled precision is essential.

Bill Hennessey, President of ALIO says, “ALIO’s motion control systems enable researchers and pathologists to precisely position specimens and imaging components, ensuring accurate and consistent data acquisition. This level of control is particularly critical in applications such as high-resolution scanning, automated sample handling, and image stitching, where sub-micron accuracy is needed. By eliminating motion-induced errors, ALIO’s systems enhance the quality and reliability of digital pathology data, ultimately leading to more accurate diagnoses and accelerating medical research.”

Digital pathology machines demand precise motion control capabilities due to the need for nanometer-level accuracy in specimen scanning and imaging. These systems must precisely position microscope stages and imaging components to ensure that high-resolution images of tissue samples are acquired without motion-induced distortions or artifacts. Any inaccuracies in motion control can compromise the quality of digital slides, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or reduced research validity. Additionally, in automated digital pathology workflows, such as slide loading and sample handling, precise motion control is essential to avoid specimen damage, contamination, or misalignment.

ALIO boasts a range of ultra-precise motion control systems that can cater for even the most demanding digital pathology application.

Loacker Recycling: Efficient Cable Recycling with Lindner’s Polaris 2800

Spittal/Drau (Austria), January 2024. Loacker Recycling based in Wonfurt, Germany, is part of the Loacker Recycling GmbH family business headquartered in Götzis, Austria, and specialises in waste cable recycling. Thanks to the recycling concept developed in-house, the company can achieve the highest possible copper recovery at low processing costs. The company trusts in Lindner’s recycling expertise and uses a Polaris 2800 with rotor cooling.

The Loacker Group, based in Götzis, Vorarlberg (Austria), has been dedicated to collecting, sorting and processing valuable materials for over 100 years and is motivated by one thought: The best for the world of tomorrow. Family-owned for five generations, the group consists of a total of 25 companies and operates 47 sites in eight countries. The recycling plant in Wonfurt has been recovering end-of-life cables for decades. These mostly come from the DACH region and are largely collected within the Loacker Group and delivered to Wonfurt for processing. The focus is on extracting pure materials to maximise the recyclables recovery.Matthias Köhler has been Managing Director at the Winford site since 2012. In recent years, a great deal of energy and expertise has been invested in expanding the recycling plant to achieve the best possible recycling results using the latest technology. In a three-shift operation, up to 100 tonnes of end-of-life cables are transformed into valuable recyclable materials every day. ‘We mainly recover copper from old cables, around 40 to 45 tonnes a day, but also PVC and ferrous metals. While the copper is turned into copper sheets in copper smelters, we deliver the PVC to a company located on site. There, the plastics are turned into barrier products. Ferrous metals are sent for metal processing. The way our plant is equipped, we achieve a particularly high degree of purity. That’s what makes us unique and gives us the ability to return almost 100% of the recycled material back into the cycle,’ explains Matthias Köhler.

The Lindner Polaris 2800 with rotor cooling has been part of the plant at Loacker in Wonfurt since July 2023 and shreds copper cables to a final output size of <15 mm. ‘We are more than happy with the throughput rate and are particularly pleased that the shredder handles non-shreddables with ease, which do show up from time to time,’ says Köhler happily. In buying a Polaris, a conscious decision was also made in favour of the screwable and quadruple-use blade cutting system. ‘We change the knives every seven to eight days, which is extremely easy thanks to the screwable system. It is also easy to access the rotor, knives and knife holders,’ says Matthias Köhler.

‘Furthermore, the Polaris 2800 has the necessary drive power. Equipped with a countershaft drive and flywheel energy storage, the machine makes light work of shredding even difficult materials such as end-of-life cables with a high content of copper wire. The consistent throughput rate and high uptimes speak for themselves,’ states Jan Rosenmeyer, Sales Manager at Lindner.

‘We are extremely happy with the Polaris and would choose a Lindner shredder again. Output, rotor cooling and ease of maintenance convinced us. Using a Lindner, you also realise that the company has decades of experience in shredding technology. The overall package is just right,’ adds Köhler.

About Lindner, Spittal an der Drau/Austria | MAKE THE MOST OF WASTE.
The Lindner family business has been offering innovative, tried-and-tested shredding solutions for over 75 years. At its production facilities in Spittal/Drau and Feistritz/Drau in Austria, Lindner manufactures using state-of-the-art production machinery shredders, system components and spare parts that are exported to almost one hundred countries.

Am Solutions Brings Exciting 2-In-1 Cleaning And Surface Finishing Machine To Customer Experience Centre

AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology, a pioneering company specializing in post processing technologies for additive manufactured (AM) parts, has just installed its S1 2-in-1 post-processing solution for the cleaning and surface finishing of 3D printed parts in its customer experience centre in Knowsley.

The S1 is a smart solution for cleaning and surface finishing, which set new standards for the post-processing of parts from powder bed fusion (PBF) AM technologies. The smart plug-and-play solution impresses by being able to perform cleaning and surface finishing all in one self-contained unit (the 2-in-1 concept) with the same media, in a manual or automatic process, saving time and costs. Furthermore, it is also suitable for the surface finishing or de-powdered metal components made from non-reactive metals, and is equipped with a blast media conditioning system for optimal and consistent quality of the blasting media. It also features a newly developed air management system which means even fewer deposits in the interior.

Colin Spellacy, Head of Sales at AM Solutions UK says, “As a company operating in the dynamic area of AM post processing, we are focusing increasingly on volume production. The S1 which we have just installed in our customer experience centre is one of our 2-in-1 solutions, running two post processing steps in one single machine. This, combined with a higher degree of automation, streamlines the entire process chain and substantially reduces the costs per piece. Such an approach allows us to perfectly fulfil the requirements of customers who are looking for high volume production with 3D printing technologies.”

Using the S1 system customers can save not only money by not having to invest in additional equipment but also save valuable manufacturing space. Above all, the processing time for 3D printed parts can be reduced by over 60%. The automated S1 technology drastically reduces the need for the manual post-processing of often delicate, large and geometrically complex components which is a necessity for companies using AM for volume manufacturing applications.

Spellacy continues, “We invite anyone interested in our post-processing capabilities to visit our customer experience centre in Knowsley. In the centre we can realistically reproduce and test every likely requirement customers may have when post processing AM parts and components. We can ultimately provide you with details of the perfect process solution for your specific applications. We have several printing technologies and post processing solutions in addition to the S1 in the centre, allowing us to demonstrate the solution that best meets your specific requirements.”
