Uniloy Milacron, Tecumseh, Mich., has launched two new initiatives. One is the opening this month of a Technical Blow Molding Lab (photo) with about 20,000 ft2 devoted to machine and mold trials, product development, and customer training. The lab will have three machines—two reciprocating-screw models representing different generations of technology and a B&W seven-layer continuous-extrusion shuttle. The machines will be equipped for single-cavity testing of new products. There will also be a classroom and a lab for testing container drop-impact, top-load, heat-resistance, and other dynamic properties.
