Z.SCORP Enables Fully Automatic Production of Technical Brushes Thanks to Integrated Trimming Unit

Z.SCORP Enables Fully Automatic Production of Technical Brushes Thanks to Integrated Trimming Unit

New standards in terms of output, flexibility and automation in the production of disc or cylindrical brushes – this is what the new Z.SCORP production line from ZAHORANSKY stands for. Thanks to the integrated trimming unit, the compact machine design enables fully automatic production of technical brushes directly after the tufting process. Compared to the usual combination of a drilling and tufting machine with a trimming machine, this saves space in the production hall and significantly increases both efficiency and process reliability. Full automation ensures up to 30 percent higher output compared to conventional brush production and effectively prevents operator errors and quality fluctuations. The Z.SCORP also shows its strengths in flexible and fast changeover to other brush types. Both the trimming and drilling units and the brush length can be adapted to produce different brush designs in just a few steps. The programming and visualization of the desired trimming contours and brush designs is then carried out directly on the machine via the smart ZMI 4.0 machine control system. In addition, the Z.SCORP is currently the only machine on the market that can be converted for the fully automated production of disc brushes as well as cylindrical brushes thanks to the simple changeover option of the carriage and the infeed system.

Efficiency through automation

As a so-called 3-station, 5-axis carousel, the Z.SCORP offers maximum productivity in the field of technical brushes. The machine is configured to produce disc or cylindrical brushes depending on the customer’s requirements but can be retooled by the customer at any time if necessary – for example, to expand the product portfolio. The highly efficient and safe manufacturing process is as follow: Brush bodies made of plastic or wood are first fed into the system either manually or fully automated by robot. Then the machine drills the necessary holes with high precision, and diameters of up to 8.5 millimeters, and tufts them. Plastic and wire filaments as well as natural fiber and natural hair with an unfolded length of up to 260 or 320 millimeters can be used. With up to 600 tufts per minute and the option of using up to three different colored filaments simultaneously, the Z.SCORP is extremely productive. The brushes are trimmed directly afterwards. The integrated trimming unit works with precision to the millimeter according to the stored contours and brush designs. Cylindrical brushes can be produced up to a maximum length of 600 mm and a diameter of up to 320 mm, and disc brushes up to a maximum diameter of 610 mm and a total height of 170 mm.

Quick and easy adaptations

If the machine should produce a different brush model, the changeover is extremely quick and uncomplicated. Thanks to the ergonomic operating concept with easy accessibility and the highest safety standards, necessary adjustments to the trimming unit can be made in under 3 minutes without tools. This alone saves around 15 minutes of downtime in production. Corresponding adjustments to the brush length and the drilling unit can also be made in just a few steps. Adjusting the trimming contours is just as easy. These can be programmed easily and flexibly in less than a minute via the ZMI 4.0 machine control system. The brush can be visualized at any time to get a direct impression of the final product. The finished design is then stored in the system and can be retrieved at any time. The final removal of the finished brushes is either manual or fully automatic. However, efficiency and well-thought-out design play a major role in the machine not only in the manufacturing processes. For clear visualization of the current operating status, the machine it has vertical LED bars with a traffic light function that allow operators to see directly whether material is missing, there is a problem, or everything is running normally.

SABIC Launches New PCR-Based NORYL Portfolio to Help Customers Reduce Carbon Footprint

SABIC Launches New PCR-Based NORYL Portfolio to Help Customers Reduce Carbon Footprint

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today announced its new PCR-based NORYL resin technology, formulated using 25 percent or more post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and aimed at providing additional, sustainable material options for customers. The technology was validated through the commercialization of several grades, including NORYL NH5120RC3 resin containing 30 percent PCR content, which helps to lower its global warming potential (GWP) by 10 percent compared to the incumbent, fossil-based grade.

The latest PCR-based technology can be incorporated into more than 200 existing NORYL resin grades, as well as an unlimited number of new grades based on specific customer requirements. These include a glass fiber-reinforced grade and an unreinforced, non-FR grade. Further, SABIC offers resin customization services to meet specific application requirements, as well as a full array of technical support services. It can help support circularity while maintaining the robust physical properties required for demanding applications. This innovative and sustainable solution is among the first polyphenylene ether (PPE)-based material technologies to incorporate such a significant level of recycled content.

“Our new PCR-based NORYL resin technology is another milestone in SABIC’s long-term strategy to address customers’ sustainability requirements and support circularity,” said Joshua Chiaw, director, Business Management, LNP & NORYL, Specialties, SABIC. “Incorporating a high level of PCR content is just one of our approaches to making our products more sustainable. We have also pioneered chemical upcycling of single-use polyethylene terephthalate bottles and are expanding our use of bio-based feedstocks. These sustainability achievements can be found across SABIC’s Specialties business and demonstrate that we are not simply looking to the future – we are delivering breakthrough products today.”

Meeting the Challenge of Creating PCR-based Engineering Thermoplastics
“Developing PPE-based engineering resins with high percentages of recycled material is not trivial and poses a range of technical challenges,” said Luc Govaerts, technology director, Specialties, SABIC. “With our product and process expertise, our scientists developed a new PCR-based portfolio, and we are now launching our first flame-retardant NORYL material with consistent performance, including hydrolytic and dimensional stability and mechanical property retention in harsh outdoor environments. Depending on application requirements, customers may be able to replace incumbent, fossil-based NORYL grades with our new PCR-based technology and achieve desired performance while reducing their carbon footprint.”

New NORYL NH5120RC3 resin further supports sustainability with non-brominated/non-chlorinated flame retardance. The material, which may be well suited for electrical applications such as heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) enclosures and photovoltaic / solar junction boxes, has a UL94 flame rating of V1 at 1.5mm. It also delivers a good balance of flow, heat performance and creep resistance.

Mondi’s TankerBox Revolutionises Sustainable Shipping for Aromsa’s Flavourful Products

Mondi’s TankerBox Revolutionises Sustainable Shipping for Aromsa’s Flavourful Products

  • Turkish flavour company Aromsa partners with Mondi to achieve sustainability goals by replacing stainless-steel containers.
  • The strong and lightweight alternative TankerBox, made from renewable resources, simplifies transportation, boosts shipping capacity, and eliminates container maintenance.

Industry-leading Turkish flavour company Aromsa, whose products include sauces, toppings, extracts and seasonings, was faced with a challenge. The company was fully committed to its sustainability strategy, but it had also started to work with a new customer who wanted to use stainless-steel containers for shipping. This would require an investment into approximately 250 stainless-steel containers, which is a costly packaging solution. In addition to high price, there are also the logistical costs of storage and maintenance, washing and sterilising the containers.

Mondi was invited to develop an alternative solution and proposed the TankerBox which Aromsa trialled on their production line. After a few months of close collaboration and innovation at the Aromsa facilities, the TankerBox was ready for Aromsa’s commercial use.

Produced from corrugated cardboard and developed as a substitute for the traditional Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) and metal barrel, the TankerBox is an innovative product and a more sustainable solution. Its patented design consists of 5 parts: an outer box, inner octabin, angle frame, bottom star and top cover pieces. It offers an intelligent discharge system with two alternative design options for discharging either from the top or bottom and is structured to minimise residual contents in the product.

Nil Okyar, Production Manager at Aromsa, says, “We can do all the operations we did with the stainless-steel container with the TankerBox much more comfortably. We have been able to simplify transportation because we now avoid the return event associated with metal containers. We can also stock and ship the TankerBox on top of each other, gaining storage space and doubling the shipping capacity. These benefits were only possible because of the excellent collaboration with Mondi.”

In comparison to its metal drum or IBC equivalents, the TankerBox’s optimised design creates cost advantages from efficiencies in storage and logistics, as it does not need to be chemically cleaned or returned as empty cargo. Additional benefits include easy handling and integration into filling lines as well as printability for brand enhancement.

“We pride ourselves on working with our customers to fulfil their requirements,” said Gozdecan Demir, Heavy Duty Sales and Business Development Manager for Mondi. “We designed this solution for Aromsa and it worked perfectly because it was based on their needs. It is this level of collaboration which leads to excellence and success.”

Tankerbox can be safely used in various industries, including chemistry, paint, pharmaceuticals, and oil, as well as in the food industry for concentrated beverages, industrial liquid food and additives, alcoholic drinks, milk, and dairy products. Mondi supplies the TankerBox and its fittings, while our product development service offers comprehensive support throughout the entire sales process. This includes sourcing aseptic liners tailored to customer requirements, which is yet another demonstration of Mondi’s commitment to its customers.

Aromsa’s commitment to sustainability, coupled with Mondi’s dedication to customer-centric solutions, exemplifies the power of partnership in driving positive change. Together, they are shaping a more sustainable future for the industry, one flavour-packed shipment at a time.
