EDITORIAL

Beyond the ban…

o we really need a ruling by the apex court in the country to discipline ourselves and be socially responsible enough, particularly with regard to our use of plastics and its disposal? Going by the recent Supreme Court order to ban the use of non-biodegradable plastic sachets, this seems to be the last (almost) resort. Without a prolonged debate over its ‘real’ purpose – whether to discourage gutka (a form of smokeless tobacco) consumption and/or limit indiscriminate use of non-biodegradable plastics – let us first analyse the cause and intended impact of similar acts across the world. Many countries including Australia, Bangladesh, China, Ireland, South Africa, Thailand, the US (some states), etc have taken similar measures with varying degrees of accomplishment. So, this can probably be a working formula here as well. However, before drawing any conclusion, one needs to consider several factors such as the current scenario of recycling or disposal facilities available in the country, cost-effective alternatives to plastic sachets, mass awareness about personal, social and environmental benefits of appropriate plastics usage and disposal. On the techno-commercial front, the current permissible thickness of 40 micron for plastic packaging needs an in-depth scrutiny and the possibility of raising it should be explored with utmost priority. Besides, the viability of alternatives must be weighed in terms of product life, eco-compatibility and economics, among others. Although biodegradable polymers are fast emerging as an alternative to conventional plastics, the sooner its high cost factor is addressed, the better for its application.

At the same time, multilateral efforts are needed based on a public private partnership model to adequately address this menace. Some of the action points can include developing more efficient systems for collection of the disposed plastic products, establishing incineration facilities to make good use of the high energy quotient of plastic waste, and last but not the least, activating a mass education programme to reach out to the billion plus populace. All said and done, effective monitoring of manufacturing facilities and sales points across the country as well as adequate accountability measures are the means to ensure success of such a significant shift, right from our ideas to action related to plastics usage.

Thin film dryers

Plastic trolleys

Thin-film drying has long been recognised to be an energy-efficient drying unit-operation for separating out dissolved solids from liquid compounds-mix as well as drying out very wet slurries in process industries. Typical applications include: caffeine/condiments in food industry, acetaminophen/penicillin in drugs industry, several fine-chemical products, dyes and dye-intermediates, agro-chemicals, chemical intermediates, etc. Wiped/agitated thin film dryers manufactured by Alpha Process Engineers come in a spectrum of sizes, tailored to suit application needs of its customers. The designs vary according to the applications. Essentially, these efficient dryers come in horizontal (pre-dominantly) and vertical configurations, with a variety of proprietary wiping and scraping arrangements, accompanied by solvent-recovery systems where required. Offered in compact, maintenance-friendly design, the principal benefits to the customer include short residence-time with high heat-transfer rates, minimal product hold-up, good dry product, low-operating costs, and high energy-efficiency with attendant low-energy costs. The agitated thin film dryers are very appropriate for heat-sensitive products too.

Diplast Plastics offers plastic trolleys that are manufactured in one-piece moulding from tough polythene to last for years. Elegantly designed, these trolleys are made to suit users' need in a compact modular form.

Rotational rheometers

Acrylic plastic multitube machines

Anton Paar offers rotational rheometers (model RheolabQC) that are specially designed for quality assurance. These rheometers work according to the Searle principle. They consist of an encoder and a dynamic EC motor. The speed and torque ranges and short motor response times allow conventional flow and viscosity curves. This makes the rheometers ideal for investigations into the mixing and stirring behaviour of emulsions and dispersions, which tests on the sagging and levelling behaviour of coatings. Besides, the rheometers also determine yield point of gels and pastes. Users can select between controlled-shear rate (CR) and controlled-shear stress (CS) test settings. The rotational rheometers have advantages for quick & easy work in quality control as they can be operated manually or using the RheoPlus software, which includes a special quality control module, analysis models and an integrated 21 CFR part 11 functions. The RheolabQC has a new measuring cup holder, which fixes and centres vessels of different heights, materials and diameters.

Axis Engineering Co offers acrylic plastic multitube and multitube making machinery as centrifugal casting process type method mechanism. These machines are available in many sizes, ie, in broad & variable sheets thickness, and are also available in many colours with a maximum size of 36" length.

Micro valves Sri Pumps Manufacturing Co offers micro valves that are manualoperated valves used to regulate the flow anywhere from full open to fully closed. These valves are designed specifically to accurately control the process. Improved sealing devices and highly accurate machining of the stem provide tight shutoff as well as characterisable control. The design of the regulating element allows the stem to turn into the flow without any significant side loads. Rotary action of the stem provides a shearing action against the seal, which allows for clean separation of the process during closure. Tight shutoff is a characteristic of the control valves, since the stem remains in continual contact with its seal. The micro valves are designed to take pressure drop in order to reduce line pressure and flow. Materials of construction are AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 316L. Sizes range from 1" to 4" (25 mm to 100 mm). End connections are with SMS/IDF and DIN.
