LINDAL Group launches innovative and sustainable new platform
Unveiled at ADF Paris in January, the Mini Engine Platform incorporates new actuator designs made from PCR using recycled plastic waste.
The patent-pending technology works by separating a one-piece actuator into two elements: an outer body made from 100 per cent PCR and an internal ‘Mini Engine’ which produces optimum spray performance. Existing manufacturing technology can be re-utilised to produce the platform, making adoption simple and economical.
Kashif Choudhry, LINDAL Group Marketing Manager, said: “Sustainability is obviously very important to our customers, and thanks to the Mini Engine’s credentials, businesses can make a positive environmental difference. The platform’s launch has been, and continues to be, an exciting time for us, and were bowled over by the response the Mini Engine received at ADF Paris.”
Once adopted into the industry, the Mini Engine Platform will enable products to be brought to market quickly. Only the outer body tooling equipment and simple customisation of assembly lines is required to implement the platform, reducing both product development time and costs. Product stability and spray performance testing can begin immediately. Once the Mini Engine is validated, repeat testing is not required.
The actuator’s outer body can be adapted for standard can diameters ranging from 35-65mm, with several different colours and stock designs available. Customised designs can also be created.
The new platform’s strapline ‘sustainable, flexible, smart’ reflects the diverse capabilities of the platform, which LINDAL believes makes it a comprehensive and compelling offering as the industry responds to the sustainability challenge.
