A weighted closure’s sensation of heaviness and deep-pitched sound when set on a surface can shape a consumer’s perception of that product as high quality and premium. The presence of weight in packaging can invoke those feelings of importance and seriousness that a luxury product should have.  Some manufacturers are choosing polymer-metal composites that provide the equivalent weight of metal, but also allow for the design freedom provided by thermoplastics.

THE CHALLENGE Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips. These conditions typically require heavy-duty steel coil spring conveyors.

CFRP materials are highly regarded for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, stiffness and durability. Carbon fiber’s high tensile strength and low density enable light weighting and make it an excellent alternative to heavy metals, like steel. The superior strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and ability to adhere to concrete make carbon fiber composites an excellent material for infrastructure applications that require strength and durability.
