We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Plastics Processing Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Guide advises on low energy plastics processing from
Smithers Rapra, which we summarised at the time by saying "With rising energy costs and soaring raw material prices, the need to reduce energy plastics processing consumption is more important than ever before".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Ion anti-static system is more effective from
Meech International: "Three anti-static systems for plastics industries include an AC system to provide powerful and intense ion production and fast decay times making it more effective at faster web speeds".
In April 2006, we covered the news from Wittmann UK
concerning its Mini-materials handling system
- take a look at Mini-materials handling system is expandable
which says: "A complete mini-materials handling system, supplied to a technical moulder, is very easy to program and is easy to expand - incorporating more injection moulding work stations when needed".
Take a look also at the news release from Faraday Plastics, Energy issues worry plastics processors,
as well as Automation systems exhibited for moulding from Wittmann UK,
and Demand for moulding machines in Iran surges from Krauss-Maffei (UK).
