18 July 2024: When protecting guards, there are various factors to consider, depending on the application. For example, the type of safety gate, the  respective installation situation and how it is used. With this in mind, Pilz is adding two new sensors to its portfolio of safety locking devices – PSENmlock mini for space-critical applications and PSENslock 2 with optimised hygienic design, as well as new versions with stainless steel components. Both sensors offer particular benefits for the packaging and pharmaceutical industry, and for the food and beverage sector. A high level of manipulation protection and added flexibility for the user are characteristics of both safety locking devices. This has a positive impact on productivity.

Dewatering technique accelerates drying process for cellulose nanofibers

Published: Tuesday, 16 July 2024 18:08

10 July 2024: Researchers at The University of Maine aim to streamline the commercial adoption of cellulose nanofibers as a packaging material by developing an electrostatic contact dewatering technique, thus speeding up the drying process. Alongside starch, polylactic acid (PLA), and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), cellulose nanofibers are often used to replace fossil-based plastics with biopolymer alternatives. Yet their high water content and high viscosity at low solids can prolong drying times.
