Saip installs two insulation lines in the US

Saip

Italian machinery maker Saip has just installed two polyurethane sandwich panel lines in North America, according to Luca Ceresa, commercial manager, Saip.

Ceresa was talking on the fringes of the CPI meeting held here. He declined to name the clients but said one line was installed in Michigan, the other in South Carolina. ‘I think these are some of the most advanced lines in the US,’ he said.
‘There are some new solutions that are being used for the first time,’ he added.
Looking at the business for cold chain and commercial refrigeration systems in the US, he said: ‘people are positive , the market is growing year after year. This is our best year ever. This is thanks to support from our local agents.’

Rigid foam machines and fixtures in the cold chain market are advanced designs, he said. ‘This is because people want tailor made solutions, we are quite flexible about this,’ he said.
The US is a promising market, there is a big need for new technology, he added.

CPI Innovation Winner

The 2019 Polyurethane Innovation Award Winner Is… 

Congratulations to Carbon and their partnership with Riddell on the SpeedFlex Precision Diamond football helmet for being crowned the winner of the 2019 Polyurethane Innovation Award!

Carbon and Riddell partnered to produce the first-ever, digitally printed liner for the SpeedFlex Precision Diamond football helmet. To make this groundbreaking product, Carbon used athlete data Riddell gathered in their proprietary database of 5 million head impacts to create next-gen head protection. The resulting Diamond helmet liner is printed to be precisely contoured to the athlete’s head. Using Carbon’s pioneering DLS™ technology, the liner was created using light and oxygen, and incorporates intricate, custom lattice structures with custom energy absorbing materials also developed by Carbon. Carbon and Riddell’s partnership and innovation will help keep our young athletes safe.
