Conceptainer is also able to customise the Tellap bags to exact requirements, with options including spouts, liners, baffles and printing.

Tellap’s pallet-free bulk bags are a dependable alternative to a normal bulk bag and pallet and are ideally suited to specific requirements in the safe handling of all food commodities, including nuts, explains Conceptainer director Ken Mouritzen.

PACKAGED DEAL With Conceptainer’s Tellap system, users have the assurance of efficient, secure, and hygienic packaging, storage and transportation. Dry, loose and bulk products stay fresh and are safely handled

In addition, the efficient packaging system uses the space between the sleeves to increase bag volume by about 10%, meaning users can transport more product at no additional cost, while reducing the number of bags, trucks and containers by about 10%, making substantial cost savings for businesses, he notes.

Moreover, from the time of delivery, users can appreciate greater efficiencies and lower operational costs as the Tellap bags offer “safety, stability and improved [use of] space” in warehousing, containers, rail cars and trucks.

Tier 1 Novares and DuPont Mobility & Materials are co-developing a new hybrid plastic/metal cooling plate that will help OEMs extend the range and lifetime of their EV batteries. One key to this new project is the patented plastic/metal bonding technology developed at DuPont’s technology center in Meyrin, Switzerland.

The environmentally sustainable pallet-free bags are manufactured from 100% polypropylene, are recycled, or re-used with no packaging waste or dumping in landfill.

DuPont’s bonding technology is also key. This technology — which can be integrated into the injection molding process — enables quick hot-plate welding of aluminum to injection-molded parts made of Zytel or Zytel HTN. Although the metal and the thermoplastics have different coefficients of thermal expansion, the bond between these disparate materials is strong enough to withstand extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals.

Materials handling systems specialist Conceptainer has developed solutions to protect product integrity and enable efficient handling, stacking and storage in the design and local manufacture of labelling, packaging, transport and storage solutions.

Apart from the “efficient, secure and hygienic packaging, storage and transportation of nuts”, the Tellap pallet-free bulk bag system handles other dry, loose and bulk products including resins, pharmaceuticals and minerals, he concludes.

Rooted in the hearts of South Africans, combining technology and a quest for perfection to bring you a battery of peerless standing. Willard...

“There are many issues associated with wooden pallets – including weight, packaging damage and contamination from splinters, nails and mould. A regular wooden pallet can weigh up to 23 kg while a Tellap system weighs less than 2.3 kg, meaning users are only transporting [more] product.”

Key to the success of these hybrid cooling plates is DuPont Zytel HTN high-temperature nylon, which withstands the temperatures and aggressive chemicals in these applications and has flow properties that enable complex designs.

Novares is a global designer and manufacturer of complex components and systems for automotive OEMs. “In collaboration with Application Development Engineer Vincent Descombes and his team of experts from DuPont’s Center of Excellence for automotive electrification and assembly techniques, the engineers at our Powertrain China Skill Center were able to overcome technical challenges and provide a disruptive solution for EV battery cooling,” said Laurent Vanholme, Expert, Powertrain Components, at Novares. “We were able to master the difference in thermal expansion between the metal and plastic parts, and re-engineer the product to be processed with conventional welding.”

Its range of products includes Tellap pallet-free bulk bags, collapsible thrift bins, stillage boxes, label holders, polypropylene repair bag tape and antistatic polypropylene corrugated board.

With the Tellap system, users have the assurance of efficient, secure and hygienic packaging, storage and transportation, and most importantly, nuts stay fresh and are safely handled, adds Mouritzen.

Further, the patented system has two plastic sleeves integrated into the base of the bulk bag allowing forklifts to easily raise the Tellap from the base, omitting the need for a wooden pallet, fumigation, and the need for more than a single operator to do the job.

The bags can be stacked securely two-high in a container or four-high in a warehouse and can be loaded and unloaded by one forklift operator.

The patented process enables rapid hot-plate welding of aluminum to injection-molded parts made of polyamide, allowing for different coefficients of thermal expansion.

He elaborates, noting “these flexible systems are suitable for customers in diverse industries, who either need to ship produce great distances or deliver locally. It is critical that foodstuff remains fresh and is easy to identify and locate down the supply chain in the food sector and goods ought to be correctly stored and securely packaged for safe transporting.”

The patented plastic/metal bonding technology enables the efficient production of a range of components for the automotive industry and other sectors. The technology was initially developed to support the replacement of metal EV battery cooling plates with hybrid designs that are more economical to produce and that better manage EV battery temperatures. Novares confirmed that its cooling plates meet industry requirements and enable cost reductions compared with all-metal alternatives.

“Congratulations to Novares for this novel development, which comes at a critical time for demand growth of BEVs. Novares’ work will help OEMs offer consumers vehicles that drive farther, with batteries that last longer,” said Gabe Knee, Marketing Manager for Vehicle Electrification at DuPont Mobility & Materials. “Our plastic/metal bonding technology is a game changer for manufacturers of automotive components and will quickly find uses in other industries.”
