#High speed Packaging Film

[zjzhongcheng]

ZDF01L High speed Packaging Film is a polyolefin heat shrinkable film produced by the double bubble process. It has the advantages of good transparency, good shrinkage, good toughness, good heat sealing, and good cold resistance.

Compared to other polyolefin shrink films, this film is especially suitable for high-speed pillow packaging, with good heat sealing and electrostatic sealing performance. The packaging effect is close to the body, and the maximum packaging speed exceeds 250 packages/minute. This film is mostly used in the form of a singlewound type, but there is no strict distinction between them, and it is determined according to the actual use.

Thickness: 10um, 11um, 15um, 19um, 25um.

Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs

NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.

As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.

The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.

Swimsuits That Don’t Drag

When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.

Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.

High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes

After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.

Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.

One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch

In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.

Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.

Weight Training Without the Weight

Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

Toy Story 2 | Still a perfect execution of a fantasy story

One of the things people uesd to complain about is that the cars in "Cars" did not need to be cars. As in, the fantastical element was not necessary to tell the story (which I wholeheartedly disagree with but that's not the point of this post). You could have told Finding Nemo with the fish as humans and have Nemo caught by... a traveling circus, or something, but to many, Cars was the damning example.

While Toy Story was the antithesis of Cars in every way.

Have not and will not see the fourth one but the first two films are perfect fantasy, and you don't immediately think of them as "fantasy".

I just rewatched TS 2 so it's fresh in my mind, and this story could not exist if these characters were not toys. Everything from the little details like the Etch-a-Sketch speed-drawing the map from the commercial to the "high stakes" rescue and escape that's only "high stakes" beacuse they're toys and not people and that one intersection is a death trap.

But the big thing is the main plot of the story: Woody is in the role of a has-been who wants to reclaim his glory days (like Mr. Incredible) but unlike a human, Woody himself was not part of those glory days, he's just one of many toys sold with the Woody's Roundup TV show, theoretically endlessly replacable, as all toys are. Unless you gave your hero amnesia, in no other storyline would this work with a human character, because Woody is both an outsider and the hero making his homecoming.

At the center of this trilogy is what it means to be a toy: A child's plaything. How each character relates to that fact is central to their arcs. The first movie tackled the divide between Woody's "I exist to be Andy's favorite toy" and Buzz's "I ain't no toy, I'm a Real Boy".

The second movie takes it one step further: Is a "toy" something you play with and inevitably ruin through playtime and the messy love of a child, or is a "toy" something you keep perfectly preserved in its packaging? And the consequences of being a toy when your human outgrows you, in Jessie's story, and is a valid point by Stinky Pete.

TS 3 takes the "what happens when the kid grows up" to its natural conclusion, with Andy going off to college. While I think it got a little carried away in spectacle and the incinerator scene, the endless replacability of a toy is Lotso's whole schtick.

The nature of what a toy is is the whole point—a piece of wood or metal or plastic that is effectively immortal, but an immortal being forever in a place of willful servitude to children.

—

It seems rather obvious to give fantastical characters a fantastical story, but a lot of uninspired or forgettable fantasy takes a human plotline and just reskins it with fairies or animals and never takes full advantage of what the characters are.

When your fantastical elements and setting are just window dressing, like Avatar '09, a fancy backdrop for a bland story, why bother writing a fantasy story? Why waste all that worldbuilding and all that creativity? (I actually know the answer, Cameron got cold feet when his creative teams went all out to create something indeed alien, and kept nudging it back to something more friendly and recognizable until we got what we got).

Avatar '09 sure made a lot of money... and zero impact on our cultural memory. It's no one's favorite movie, no one's favorite retelling of Dances with Wolves. It's just pretty to look at.

You can write a retelling, a "modern take", a book of tropes and clichés, sure, but I'd encourage you to at least make one arc of your fantasy or sci-fi story only possible in your world, with your lore, with your characters. Otherwise, what's the point?

03 ∙ the dark whimsicality of drifting: a visual analysis

[ ✼ part 3 of the self is not me, but us series ]

i was sooooo taken by drifting when i first heard it.

what a lovely and uplifting melody! what a whimsical and gorgeous and quaint little music video! 🥰 and in the teaser, hope fell asleep and woke up on this island so maybe this xz is a personification of hope and its place in his career!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

then the occupational hazard kicked in, and the thinking cap came on, and i had the time of my life proving myself wrong.

unlike the us mv, where the thrill was in trying to piece together the overarching story based on the visual cues we had, drifting was almost the opposite. the story was plain to see; as everyone has rightly pointed out, it's pretty apparent that the mv depicts — or at least has a striking, uncanny resemblance to — xz's journey from normalcy to celebrity.

what i enjoyed with this mv in particular was zhanzhan in wonderland’s outfits the search for the visual cues that they've slipped in and what (else) they could mean!!

i loved that they took so many creative liberties in the way they expressed the dark side of xz's celebrity, coating it in the same pretty, whimsical, wondrous sheen that so often packages the idea of stardom:

that although his dream of music was upheld and supported by his career as a designer, and although he probably did sleep on that call to join that audition programme, fame was a high-speed train that caught him unawares, sweeping him very abruptly away from a quaint little life where things were actually quite lovely in their ordinariness,

that he swung onto the entertainment scene but was left to fend for himself on the precipice of newfound fame; stakeholders wanting to control him under the pretense of guidance and insight, feeling like he was slipping away from the music or the films he wanted to make,

that sometimes he wakes up disoriented, constantly shuttled from hotel to hotel, bed to bed, depending where his schedules take him; bedtime (and his pillow!) the only reprieve,

that stardom is a labyrinth where the goalposts are constantly being moved, a large and intimidating and often lonely endeavour; that he has to fight an uphill battle and go out of his way for even a moment's comfort, without even the luxury of slipping out of the celebrity skin,

that fame is a terribly precarious thing, taking so long to scale and build yet able to fall apart in only a matter of moments; that he has to walk a tightrope to regain some semblance of control in his life, to light the way, to finally write his own story,

but… did he? has he really wrestled that control back for good?

or is it yet another loop like the start and end of the mv suggest — because to be a celebrity, even at his level, is to always be subject to the same, lonely tug-of-war? the invasions of privacy? the constant unrest? the risk of everything falling apart from one little move?

:)

something something i love bittersweet songs i learnt from the best ok

Albon admits to some head scratching at Williams after unexpected practice display at Silverstone

Williams drivers Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant expressed their surprise – and urged caution – over the Grove team’s high-flying performance on the opening day of practice for the British Grand Prix. Albon featured inside the top-three positions during both of Friday’s sessions at Silverstone, finishing behind only Max Verstappen’s Red Bull and Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari on the combined timesheets, while Sargeant joined him at the sharp end with a run to fifth in second practice. FP2: Verstappen tops second practice at Silverstone from Sainz and Albon as Leclerc hits trouble It comes after a raft of updates were applied the FW45, which aided Albon’s push for P7 in Canada – lifting Williams above AlphaTauri and off the foot of the F1 standings – and led to another competitive display in Austria. Speaking after hopping out of the car, Albon said: “It was a bit surprising in some ways. I have to say unexpected, you know. We’re not playing around doing weird things, it’s just a normal day for us. “Clearly, we crossed the line and we’re in the top three, so a bit of – in some ways – head scratching, but at the same time the car feels good. We’ve got an upgrade on the car that we’ve had for two races now. This feature is currently not available because you need to provide consent to functional cookies. Please update your cookie preferences FP2 Highlights: 2023 British Grand Prix “At least on the simulator it’s shown to be a bit more effective in the high-speed than the low-speed, and we haven’t really had too much high-speed tracks the last few races – Austria and Canada aren’t really that. “It’s the first time we’ve seen the package working on a quick circuit and it’s looking quite good. But we’ve got to keep ourselves grounded, it’s [about] chipping away. NEED TO KNOW: The most important facts, stats and trivia ahead of the 2023 British Grand Prix “The wind, the way that it is this weekend, it’s so strong, I think everyone… It doesn’t feel good around here, I think it feels terrible for everyone, but clearly less terrible for us than others, so let’s see.” As for where Williams might stack up on Saturday, Albon pointed to the mixed weather report, saying: “Tomorrow is going to be likely wet for a little bit. I hope it stays dry, I hope it’s similar weather to this, but let’s see what happens tomorrow. “But still the focus is on Sunday, because overtaking here is pretty easy, so you need a good race car. Our race pace was actually OK; it wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t bad.” Albon placed third in both practice sessions at Silverstone on Friday Sargeant echoed Albon’s remarks as he looks to build on an encouraging weekend at the Red Bull Ring last time out and edge towards what would be a maiden F1 points finish. “It didn’t feel super smooth out there, to be honest,” he admitted. “This wind has been causing us a lot of issues, but I think it’s been the same for everyone, so [we’re] just trying to get on top of that. READ MORE: ‘It’s massively exciting’ – Hamilton shares more details on Apple’s F1 movie ahead of Silverstone filming “[There’s] still some stuff we can do better, for sure, heading into tomorrow. The weather looks a little bit tricky, but we’ll play it by ear. I think generally it was a solid start to the weekend and we’ll try and build off that. “Honestly, mine and Alex’s comments are pretty much in line, so that’s good. We can move in the same direction tomorrow as a team and hopefully the good pace continues.” Admitting that reaching Q2 would mark a “really good day”, Sargeant added: “I don’t think we’re getting too far ahead of ourselves yet. We’ll see tomorrow, we’ll see when quali comes around.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

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.
