PLAST 2023: Focus on Sustainability

Innovative green technologies are complemented by concern for the impact of the fair itself

The major themes that are characterizing the entire plastics and rubber industry and its market will be a focus at PLAST 2023, scheduled for 5–8 September at the Fiera Milano fairgrounds in Rho-Pero. The spotlight is on innovation and opportunities offered by developments in production paradigms in a circular-economy perspective that, together with sustainability and energy savings, represent the key themes at PLAST 2023.

These themes are central not only in the products, services, and systems on display, but also as regards the fair itself, this year aiming to achieve the best performance in terms of sustainability. A part of this process has been made possible by Fiera Milano, which has taken a sustainable event management system approach involving control of logistics, wastes, and food services to reduce the environmental impact, including CO 2 emissions, associated with the organization and conduct of PLAST 2023.

Promaplast, the organizer of PLAST, aims to represent a virtuous example of this concern and to observe the core rules of sustainability that are now considered an objective that can no longer be postponed. One of the aspects characterizing this approach is installations that meet standards of ecodesign and food services such as those put forward by the Fondazione Banco Alimentare, which is closely attuned to the associated issues.

And that is not all. For the first time, Promaplast offers the possibility of implementing a carbon footprint assessment process in time to allow companies to announce their initial results already at PLAST 2023. The calculation of a company’s carbon footprint is the most immediate and universally accepted method for representing and communicating the environmental impact of an organization. The process uses the parameters developed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), applying internationally recognized protocols (GHG Protocol and ISO 14064). Expressing a company’s activities in terms of atmospheric carbon dioxide equivalents is a measure of concern for the environment and demonstrates the commitment to meeting the core rules of sustainability that are now considered an added value.

Together with technological innovation, the theme of sustainability will pervade the six halls of the fair, part of an exhibition that covers everything from materials to processing, from finished products to services and the most advanced solutions developed by manufacturers of plastics and rubber processing machinery, equipment, and moulds.

After having introduced in May 2022 the exhibition-convention GREEPLAST – focused on the sustainability of materials, technologies, and transformation processes for plastics and rubber – PLAST 2023 too will showcase excellence of innovation in the key of green: from increasingly sustainable and environmentally friendly materials to machinery with reduced energy consumption for processing bio-based and recycled polymers and from processes that make it possible to use less raw materials without compromising on performance to sorting and recycling systems.

The calendar of side events will be an opportunity for further depth and exchanges on the state of the art and the challenges to evolving towards an increasingly sustainable economic model.

In the meantime, the PLAST presentation tour continues with a presence in a number of relevant fairs, including EQUIPLAST in Barcelona, PLASTEXPO in El Jadida (Morocco), and Saudi PPP in Riyadh.

On the occasion of the specialized exhibition in Morocco, the theme of sustainability and, more specifically, recycling of post-consumer plastics, was developed in a technology seminar on Thursday, 8 June, organized by AMAPLAST (Italian Plastics and Rubber Processing Machinery and Moulds Manufactures Association, which supports PLAST) in collaboration with ICE-Agenzia and the Fédération Marocaine de Plasturgie. An Italian expert illustrated the most recent and innovative technologies in this area on the level of systems and processes, presenting to the local operators market trends and prospects and the investments required to implement solutions meeting the needs of the “green transition” undertaken by the Government of Morocco.

The future of the plastics and rubber industry is thus on display in Milan from the 5th to the 8th of September in an event for which over 1,200 exhibitors have already reserved their stands and official buyer delegations are expected from at least thirty countries. Early registration is open for professional operators who wish to engage with specialized products, systems, and services and full-spectrum responses to their needs in terms of products, technology, solutions, and business opportunities.

Reactor Replacement Over a Long Distance

Smart lifting solution minimized disruptions to ongoing operations

At the POX methanol plant at the chemical site in Leuna, Germany, all reactor units, consisting of reactor, sub-reactor and waste heat exchanger, are to be replaced. TotalEnergies Raffinerie Mitteldeutschland GmbH, operator of the plant and Europe’s largest methanol producer, was looking for capable partners for this project. Mammoet was contracted to replace the first and the second reactor.

A complete shutdown of the plant was not possible, as the required production volume had to be always guaranteed. Therefore, only one reactor at a time could be removed and replaced. What was required, therefore, was a flexible and safe solution that would disrupt operations as little as possible.

Lifting the sub-reactor on the pre-assembly area.

 

Engineering study delivered most efficient solution

A preliminary engineering study carried out by Mammoet concluded that the most efficient solution to replace the reactor unit would be to use a Liebherr LR 1750 crawler crane. It can lift and move a load of 140t at the same time, as well as perform all other lifting operations. This was necessary because, due to space limitations, the pre-assembly and storage area for the components was located approx. 200m from the installation position.

In order to safely lift the steel construction module, completely fitted with equipment, whose center of gravity could not be precisely calculated but was in any case off-center, Mammoet used its specially developed COGAS winch with four-point rigging.

The winch acts as a center-of-gravity balancing system. The operator controls the winch via a remote control and can change the length of the individual rope strands so that the crane hook exactly matches the component`s center of gravity.

Pivoting the sub-reactor in the direction of the plant.

 

By offering everything from a single source, from engineering to crawler crane delivery with rigging to execution with its own personnel and special equipment, the team reduced the number of interfaces and contributed to safe project execution while the plant was in operation.

Intensive preparation and cooperation ensure early completion

The mobilization and preparation of the crawler crane took place over the New Year. Despite the holidays, the team’s high level of dedication meant that the crane was ready to lift on time.

First, the old reactor and the old sub-reactor were removed one by one, transported by the crawler crane to the laydown area about 200m away, and stored there. Special demolition chains were used for rigging. The heavy-duty rigging was then modified, and the new components were lifted into place with the LR 1750.

The new sub-reactor, weighing 120t, was already stored upright at the pre-assembly area. It was attached, lifted, moved around 200m to the plant on the hook of the crawler crane and pivoted into place. The new reactor, weighing 140t, followed in the same way.

Finally, the steel construction module, weighing 100t, was lifted and moved safely into position using the Mammoet COGAS winch.

Lifting the sub-reactor to the installation position.

 

Mammoet’s smart solution allowed the safe and timely replacement of the reactor and associated components. Thanks to the very good cooperation with all parties involved, Mammoet’s well-coordinated team was able to complete all work ahead of schedule.

The new mechanical HASCO limit switches Z1430/… allow a variety of applications for the accurate monitoring of the position of such moving components, both in injection moulding tools and in punching tools.

The limit switches, which can be used at a maximum mould temperature of 140 °C, can be easily adjusted via the HASCO excenter unit Z14300/…. The proven actuation switching range Sa of 0.8 mm can be adjusted via the excenter unit.

Protective circuit prevents malfunctions

The limit switches operate as a normal open contact, whereby an electronic “contact” is closed on pressing the switch. An internal protective circuit protects HASCO limit switches from damage if the supply voltage connections are mixed up, and ensures that no malfunction occurs that would lead to the ignition of an undesired signal. The testing and adjustment of the limit switch is carried out by the battery-operated testing device Z 141/3.

The limit switches are connected via three-pin connecting cables Z14301/… – Z14304/… with straight or 90° angled connector, both to the mould control and, if necessary, to the testing device. The flexible limit switches are available in vertical and horizontal design, which are equipped as desired with a male connector or a female connector for the connecting cable.

Maximum process reliability

With the new mechanical HASCO limit switches, mould damage can be effectively avoided and process reliability significantly improved.

HASCO at the Moulding Expo

HASCO at the Moulding Expo

As a full-service provider with a portfolio of more than 100,000 products, HASCO offers everything for modern mouldmaking from a single source. In addition to numerous new and further developments, digitisation will be one of the main areas of focus during the Moulding Expo. User-friendly tools, an update of the HASCO App, interesting CAD features and other digital services will be presented live on the HASCO Stand 1/G53.

Mould Base Technology

The new mechanical limit switches Z1430/… are used predominantly for the precise monitoring of the position of ejector assemblies. A variety of application possibilities also exist where exact information on the final positions of other parts is needed. Mould damage can thus be effectively avoided and process reliability significantly increased.

The innovative HASCO Mould Tag A5910/… digitalises standard mould units in injection moulding tools and enables unambiguous identification with certification of quality. The Mould Tag is built as standard into all two-stage ejectors. The RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification) can be read out direct via the new HASCO App, showing informative product-relevant data.

Exceptional combination possibilities are offered by HASCO’s extensively enlarged cooling range. In addition to the flexibly combinable standard components, cooling elements made of stainless steel, clean-break temperature control systems, high-temperature ranges and multicoupling systems offer constructive, safe and reliable solutions.

In addition to the standard multicoupling system, the new USA (ZI) and French (FRA) systems are now also available as open or closed versions with valve, as well as the clean-break multicoupling system as a HT version with flat sealing front surfaces.

New sealing plugs Z9425/…/VA of stainless steel for sealing off drilled cooling holes and for diverting the cooling medium within the cooling circuit, as well as socket pipe plugs Z9410/… with special FKM O-ring and Z 9410HT/…/VA with high-temperature FKM O-ring round off the cooling range.

The ejector portfolio, with around 600 additional new versions, offers maximum flexibility in demoulding. With a total of 26 product groups and 5,500 variants, HASCO’s range of ejectors covers virtually all applications in mouldmaking.

Two new posters, one with an overview of the temperature control elements and the other with a table relating to the ejector portfolio, offer optimum help when it comes to selecting the right article.

Hot Runner Technology

The innovative, additively manufactured HASCO Streamrunner with maximum design freedom creates, through the free three-dimensional design of the runners, completely new possibilities in multi-component injection moulding. Different plastic components or colours can be spread over a very small space and the runners can be intertwined.

With the new interchangeable needle valve pre-chamber Vario Shot Xgate, HASCO has extended its proven nozzle portfolio. Individually geared to the particular application, two new variants of the Vario Shot Xgate offer the ideal solution for amorphous or semi-crystalline plastics. The gate area and contact surfaces can be variably designed for application-specific temperature control.

The Primezone H1281/… range of control units boasts outstanding control accuracy, intuitive operating comfort and wide-ranging diagnosis functions. The touch display and the latest software technologies enable simple and intuitive operation, similar to modern smartphones. With the new, smooth-running Co-Cart trolley, perfect and safe positioning of all control units directly next to the mould is ensured.

UNITED CAPS Features New Products, Sustainability Initiatives, at ProPak Asia

New products, sustainability focus, and an update on the status of the UNITED CAPS plant in Malaysia will be featured at the show.

UNITED CAPS, an international manufacturer of caps and closures, today reported that the company will be exhibiting at ProPak Asia, bringing new products and innovations and an update on its CLOSE TO YOU and sustainability strategies.

UNITED CAPS will be located in Hall 103, booth AR41 in the French pavilion at the show, which is scheduled for 14 to 17 June at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC) in Thailand. ProPak Asia, the regional’s number one international trade event for Food, Drink & Pharmaceutical Processing & Packaging Technology, is a must-attend industry event in Asia, for Asia. At the show, key UNITED CAPS executives and experts will be available to answer visitor questions, suggest solutions and explain UNITED CAPS strategies that are in place to provide a unique level of support to the Asian Pacific region, including its manufacturing plant in Malaysia.

“We are excited to again be present at this important event,” said Astrid Hoffmann-Leist, Chief Innovation & Communication Officer, who is stationed in Malaysia and who is responsible for all business activities in the Asia Pacific region in her additional role as Business Director. “In this thirtieth year of the event, we will be bringing two brand-new products debuting in Asia for the first time, as well as a range of other UNITED CAPS products that serve the needs of Asian customers.”

Featured at the show

At ProPak Asia, UNITED CAPS will be highlighting three products that are especially important for the region. These include:

  • SAFE-TE, a premium infant nutrition solution for Asia, engineered with impenetrable security technologies and exceptional hygiene features, including UNITED CAPS’ industry-leading clean scoop chamber and its DropDown Lock tamper-evident technology that offer added convenience for new parents.
  • Bump Cap, an innovative one-of-a-kind solution designed to reduce global food waste by making it easy to determine whether food products continue to be safe to consume. This intelligent freshness indicator is designed to change the way people think about what a cap can do and how they can actively fight food waste. The Bump Cap makes it easy to determine if contents have begun to degrade. Not only is reducing food waste important for the planet, but this alone also reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Once beverage begins to degrade, bumps occur on the top of the cap, giving a tactile indicator of freshness. The Bump Cap is making its Asian debut at the show.
  • 23 H-PAK, a brand-new and innovative approach to tethered closures for carton packaging, one of the first to be brought to market and also debuting in Asia at the show. Its cutting-edge design provides a clean and smooth opening, cutting through the prelaminated hole with minimal effort. It has an audible click when opening, a satisfying sound that lets consumers know their closure is in the perfect open position. Once opened, it is in the perfect position for use, providing optimised no-drip flow of product during dispensing.

A wide range of other solutions from UNITED CAPS will also be on display in the UNITED CAPS booth. This includes closures made from post-consumer recycled material, closures that are lightweighted to require less plastic, and closures that are recyclable for a more circular lifecycle approach.

“At UNITED CAPS, we are committed to leaving the world better than we found it,” said CEO Benoit Henckes. “The solutions we are presenting at ProPak Asia are well aligned with this goal. We are especially pleased to be bringing two unique, first-in-the-world solutions to ProPak Asia, the Bump Cap and the 23 H-PAK. These solutions demonstrate our ongoing efforts to deliver world-class functionality and sustainability. We are also delighted with the performance of our plant in Kulim, Malaysia, a key element of our CLOSE TO YOU strategy that helps us better serve the Asia Pacific region and brings us closer to customers to ensure we understand their needs and respond effectively to them.”

Henckes notes that the Malaysia staff has become a cohesive team of some 30 team members in a state-of-the-art facility who delivered close to 70 million closures to the region in 2022.

Visitors to the UNITED CAPS booth will have many opportunities to learn more about UNITED CAPS’ dedication to bringing more sustainable, safe and innovative packaging to market and its UNITED WE STAND and CLOSE TO YOU messaging.
