The Export Baler produces horizontal bales for a fraction of the cost, in a fraction of the space as horizontal balers. Its bales require no re-baling -- reducing time, cost, and truck transportation (including drivers, trucks fuel, and re-baling labor) -- because they're the exact size and weight required for transoceanic shipping -- no stops at a re-baling plant, no needless, redundant transport.http://www.risi.com/techchannels/automation/BACE-introduces-Export-Baler-for-paper-recycling.html?source=rssTue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400http://www.risi.com/techchannels/automation/Corrugated-box-company-Sisco-Box-implements-Amtechs-MobileForce-Sales.html?source=rssAmtech Software President, Cosmo DeNicola, is happy to announce the implementation of Amtech's MobileForce Sales at Sisco Box, a corrugated box company located in Nashville, IL.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam-Golm have created targeted conductive structures on paper using a method that is quite simple: with a conventional inkjet printer, they printed a catalyst on a sheet of paper and then heated it. The printed areas on the paper were thereby converted into conductive graphite. Being an inexpensive, light and flexible raw material, paper is therefore highly suitable for electronic components in everyday objects.http://www.risi.com/techchannels/automation/German-researchers-convert-paper-into-simple-low-cost-conductive-graphite.html?source=rssWed, 8 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400http://www.risi.com/techchannels/automation/Avery-Dennison-launches-matrix-recycling-tool-on-its-website-for-label-sustainability.html?source=rssAvery Dennison (AVY) has launched a matrix recycling tool on its website to help its converter customers divert and process scrap. The tool is located at: label.averydennison.com/en/home/solutions/sustainability.html. "Many of our customers are actively improving their sustainability footprint," said Rosalyn Bandy, sustainability manager, Avery Dennison Materials Group. "We have created this matrix recycling tool as a response to those looking to reduce their impact by sending less waste to landfills." The interactive map features a directory that indicates locations of non-landfill operations or energy-from-waste facilities. Most of these operations process discarded pressure-sensitive scrap materials generated by label presses into clean, renewable energy sources. One such method is fuel pellets, which can be a direct substitute for coal but with a lower carbon and overall emissions footprint. The interactive tool is based on Avery Dennison's own information and was developed in collaboration with key converters, recyclers and key channel partners. Recycling may not be available in all areas. About Avery Dennison Avery Dennison (AVY) is a global leader in labeling and packaging materials and solutions.

The measurements also boost sustainability by offering more environmentally friendly liquor cycle operation. Zellstoff- und Papierfabrik Rosenthal (ZPR), one of the most modern pulp mills in Europe, has chosen the new Metso Recovery Analyzer (Metso Metra) for its pulp mill in Blankenstein, Germany. In addition to ZPR, orders have been received from mills in North America, South America and the Nordic countries. During the past decades, Metso's partnership with ZPR has included numerous projects. On several occasions, the company has applied Metso's innovative solutions to increase the efficiency of its processes. Now ZPR has understood the benefit it will gain from Metso's innovation for kraft pulp mill liquor cycle management. Using fully automatic real-time sampling and standard titration methods, the mill will be able to optimize its causticizing process for stable and high-quality cooking liquor production. Metso Metra represents the latest generation of fully automatic titrators for chemical recovery optimization. In addition to well-proven causticizing measurements, it may feature as an option unique online reduction degree measurement technology. This, together with process optimizing controls, enables more environmentally friendly recovery boiler operation, higher process throughput, maximum uptime as well as savings in cleaning chemical and fresh lime costs. In the past 40 years, Metso's analyzer offering has become the global market leader and industry benchmark in many measurements. Metso Metra is yet another innovative analyzer that has been built on years of experience. Since its introduction in October 2012, it has been well received by pulp mills around the world.
