Latest Innovations in Two-Step HDPE ISBM Technology
10/18/2013
Blending their unique expertise and industry-leading technologies, Total, Husky and Sidel teamed up to deliver a new cost-efficient solution for the packaging market. Their two-step HDPE ISBM technology combines the advantages of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin and Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) technology. As an innovative alternative to both Extrusion Blow Molded (EBM) HDPE and ISBM PET, it offers specific plus points that reduce material and conversion costs.
To respond to new market requirements for lighter and more effective consumer and food packaging, the focus must be on technologies and developments that significantly reduce bottle weight while meeting or improving on packaging requirements. Through a joint effort involving both technical validation and cost modeling, Total, Husky and Sidel have demonstrated that a two-step HDPE ISBM solution can deliver cost efficiency and product differentiation to the packaging industry.
Their innovative technology captures the benefits of both two-step ISBM, a superior conversion process, and of HDPE, a polymer widely used in packaging. Two-step ISBM provides exceptional bi-orientation, which increases bottle performance in general and mechanical performance specifically, while considerably reducing the weight of the package. Two-step ISBM technology also offers outstanding productivity levels, making it possible to reach throughputs of around 60,000 bottles per hour.
Husky with its expertise in injection molding machinery, Sidel with its expertise in stretch blow molding machinery and packaging design and Total with its expertise in polymer development - in this case the HDPE SB 1359 resin for ISBM processing - conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the total cost of ownership of two-step HDPE ISBM, including material costs, capital investment and fixed and variable costs.
The evaluation concluded that from a financial standpoint the two-step HDPE ISBM technology can be an attractive alternative to the traditional EBM process in many typical industry cases. An example comparing 30 million bottles using two-step HDPE ISBM technology to EBM production has shown cost savings of at least 15%, principally due to lightweighting and lower operating costs as a result of higher output, less maintenance and reduced energy consumption.
"HDPE ISBM technology opens up new possibilities for converters and brand owners for more sustainable and cost-efficient packages," says Philippe Thiriaux, Rigid Packaging Manager at Total. "This revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in the packaging industry, should provide our customers with a wider range of applications and features for the consumer and food packaging market."
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
