Sigma's new enclosure is finished!

well, mostly. I want to get another branch or tube or plant or something in that top right corner to fill in the empty space, assuming the monster dracaena doesn't realize it now has an extra foot of vertical space and decide to conquer it. i'll give it a month or two and see how the dracaena adapts before putting something above it. I also want to see how the new pothos grows in, and how the old philodendron adapts. i actually removed two vines from the philo and cut the remaining two down to size a bit since they took over whatever space the dracaena didn't in the old enclosure, so i'm confident the philodendron will help fill in some of the currently empty space even if the dracaena and pothos decide not to.

for the enclosure itself, it's a Leap Habitats 22"x17"x36" enclosure and hoo boy it has its pros and cons... mostly cons. i haven't seen many reviews for these enclosures that aren't from popular youtubers or reddit threads from over a year ago, so here's my opinions below:

i've moved several times so i greatly appreciate how light the enclosure is even fully planted, and being able to screw branches and tubes and other things into the walls instead of having to use spray foam (and then either silicone or the grout method) to mount them is really nice. both are pluses over the glass exoterra 18"x18"x24" Sig has called home since he was given to me. i loved that enclosure but after moving three times with it (once before i made it bioactive) i was not a fan of the weight.

this doesn't apply to me right now, but i do see it as a plus that they included the little spots in the corners of the top that you can pop out to easily install mister nozzles through. i don't know if these holes fit non-Leap misting systems without modification, but it's certainly simpler than some of the setups i've seen for getting misters installed in traditional enclosures like exoterras.

Sigma is... not a great hunter. his method of hunting black soldier flies, for example, is to slam his face as hard as possible into them. this is another big reason i wanted him out of the glass enclosure-- i'm genuinely worried about him injuring himself with the force at which i've watched him bounce his face off the walls and door of the exoterra enclosure. so the softer, less rigid walls and acrylic door are a plus for that alone.

now for the downsides...

i'm really not a huge fan of how flimsy the acrylic door is. if it was a liiiittle thicker i'd probably like it more. the very simple method for the door hinge also means that when open, the door is misaligned, so i have to remember to slightly lift it when i go to close it so it will fit back in its space and close properly. this could be related to the low quality control that i've heard other people report regarding Leap (and experienced myself further below)

the base also leaks. they do sell external water catch trays in case of leakage, but i feel like they should come with the trays instead of the tray being optional, since the design of these things is basically guaranteed to leak without modification.

i didn't encounter this myself because i'd already seen warnings about this and didn't bother trying, but silicone and expanding foam won't adhere to the sides without help. Leap recommends using wall anchors for the foam to hold onto, but there's no real solution for silicone. this is annoying, because being able to seal the damned thing with silicone would GREATLY help the above leaking problem because you could just silicone around the rivets and internal plastic liner so that the leaking wouldn't be an issue. sealants that do bond to polypropylene don't strike me as being safe for use inside a reptile enclosure, especially a bioactive one.

it was also a BITCH to put together. i sort of expected this because a couple reviews i read before buying stated that the quality control is not the best. Leap has several videos on their youtube showcasing how to assemble the enclosures straight out of the box, and the provided instructions in the box are simple enough to follow, but i had to make some minor modifications in order to get the enclosure together due to ill-fitting pieces (for example, the screen top, which also keeps the walls in shape, did not actually fit on top of the walls like it was supposed to and i had to pry some sections open wide enough to actually get the damned thing in place). the alignment pin that goes in the front right of the base also did not want to be flush with the base like it's supposed to be.

all that being said, right now i would still be willing to get another, smaller Leap enclosure in the future for my mourning geckos or another gecko species. whether i actually do get another of their enclosures will really depend on how this one for Sig holds up. the lightness and ease of customization were the entire reasons i ordered this enclosure instead of a similarly sized (24x"18"x36") glass one, so we'll eventually see if that's truly worth the troubleshooting and outright downsides to these enclosures or not.

Just some brief and basic facts about the most common types of implants above.

And info on some more unusual past and future types of augmentations below:

String expansion is no longer carried out due to safety concerns. Saline is the only current way of creating huge sizes, whether through overfilling standard shells or expanders (the latter being very prone to infection though as we fill with saline). One type that may be more common in the future are air expanders 😉

Which strapping is best for your application? 

With a wide range of strapping on the market, we have some tips and advice on selecting the right strapping for you. Let us look at what strapping itself is and the choices you have readily available.

Strapping is used throughout a range of industries to bundle items together for easier handling, securing items to pallets and crates, reinforcing boxes, and fastening goods. It is ideal for securing items during shipment or for medium to long-term storage and is often used in construction, agriculture, and shipping industries as well as other uses throughout the packaging and manufacturing sectors. The vital part strapping plays is providing a secure fastened seal when packing goods for transit or storage.

In a world where health and safety are becoming ever more apparent and the everyday battle with damaged goods continues, we know how important it is to have the right equipment available for businesses to choose from. Whether strapping is a new venture for your business or its simply second nature to you, it is not always clear what kind of strapping you need.

Steel Strapping:  As the oldest and most used strapping product in the world of bundling and unitizing – steel strapping is the ideal secure solution for heavy duty applications. A household favorite when it comes to companies requiring durable strapping that can withstand hot temperatures and protect loads that carry more weight. Steel strapping is a particularly popular choice for those in the construction industries who are maneuvering heavy building materials and need high tensile strapping. The material steel is the perfect suitor for heavy load holding where high strength and minimal stretch are desired. However, if a user is dealing with bundles that will potentially settle and become smaller on the road, steel strapping is not recommended as it remains at the same initial application tension.

Polyester Strapping:  Another type of plastic strapping is polyester, an effective, popular alternative for steel strapping. Its high break strength and high-level tension goes hand in hand with its great elongation, therefore providing quality strapping for medium to heavy duty construction materials. Its elongation and high recovery characteristics mean polyester strapping can adapt after application to allow for any of its content expanding or contracting, therefore ensuring the same level of protection for loads throughout the transit stage.

Polypropylene Strapping:  Polypropylene strapping is seen as a lighter to medium duty strapping which is the ideal option for palletizing and bundling that requires a lighter duty seal. When compared with most other materials, polypropylene is the most economical as its lightweight material is easy to recycle at the end of use. It is ideal for short transportation periods and for loads that are already protected from extreme environmental conditions and outside weathering. Its properties include high elongation and elongation memory; however, it is likely to lose some of its tension after it is applied, making it particularly useful for bundles that can take up the slack but not accommodating for heavy duty solid goods that require a consistent tension.

Cord Strapping:  Corded polyester strapping which is also commonly known as non-woven polyester cord strapping is stronger than both standard polypropylene and polyester strapping. This makes it ideal for heavy duty applications where strength is non-negotiable. Its high breaking strain offers a perfect alternative for steel strapping but with one further benefit, it is lighter than it, allowing for ease and flexibility of use. Its elastic memory keeps loads tight and absorbs any shocks that occur in transit.

The Film Blowing Extruder: Revolutionizing Plastic Film Production

A Film Blowing Extruder is a machine that extrudes plastic material, typically polyethylene (PE) or other polymers, into a thin film. The process involves melting plastic pellets, extruding them into a tube of film, and then expanding the tube by blowing air into it, which forms a bubble. The bubble is then cooled and flattened into a thin film, ready for use in various industries like packaging, agricultural films, and more.

The Film Blowing Extruder Process

Feeding the Raw Material:

The first step in the process is the introduction of plastic pellets into the extruder barrel. These pellets are usually made from polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or other polymer materials that are suitable for film production.

Melting the Plastic:

The plastic pellets are subjected to heat within the barrel, where the screw gradually moves them forward, melting the plastic into a molten state. This is achieved through a combination of mechanical and thermal energy.

Extruding the Film:

Once the plastic is melted, it is forced through the die head, forming a tube of molten plastic. The die is designed to ensure a uniform thickness and smooth surface of the film.

Blowing the Bubble:

The molten plastic tube is inflated using compressed air, forming a bubble. The size and thickness of the bubble depend on the desired properties of the final film. The air pressure and speed of inflation play a crucial role in achieving consistent film thickness.

Cooling and Solidifying:

After the film blowing extruder is inflated, it is cooled quickly to solidify its structure. This cooling can be achieved either by water rings or air-cooling systems. Proper cooling ensures the film retains its integrity and flexibility.

Flattening the Film:

Once the film is cooled, it is flattened into a two-dimensional film using rollers or other flattening mechanisms. This process ensures that the film is smooth and uniform, with no wrinkles or defects.

Winding:

The flattened film is then wound onto a roll. This roll can be used for further processing, such as printing, cutting, or converting into bags or other packaging materials.

Advantages of Using Film Blowing Extruder

Cost-Effective Production: Film blowing is a continuous process, meaning that once the machine is set up, it can produce large quantities of film with minimal downtime, making it cost-effective.

High-Quality Films: The film blowing process ensures high-quality films with uniform thickness, smooth surfaces, and excellent mechanical properties. The ability to control film thickness during the inflation stage helps in producing films with consistent quality.

Flexibility: With the ability to produce different types of films—such as multilayer, stretchable, or biodegradable films—film blowing extruders offer flexibility to meet various market demands.

Environmental Sustainability: Advances in biodegradable plastics and multi-layer film technology have made it possible to produce more sustainable films. Film blowing extruders are now being used to produce eco-friendly alternatives that reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging.

Conclusion

The film blowing extruder is an indispensable tool in modern manufacturing. It allows for the production of high-quality, versatile plastic films used in countless industries, from packaging to agriculture. With continued advancements in technology, these machines are becoming more energy-efficient, capable of producing multilayer films, and adaptable to new, eco-friendly materials. The role of the film blowing extruder in the modern world of plastic manufacturing cannot be overstated, as it continues to meet the growing demand for functional, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious plastic films.
