Is the thin top layer ideal for laser processing? The thin top layer enables detailed engraving at high production speeds. Very little residue is produced during processing, the need for cleaning is reduced and thus also the processing time. Noble metal look on acrylic basis, the 2-layer laminate is ideal for laser processing.
Which plastic materials are suitable for laser engraving? The plastic materials with a core made of PMMA are suitable for laser engraving and the laser cut results in a clean, polished cutting edge. You can laser engrave and cut laminates and plastic sheets from Trotec at high production speeds with little cleaning effort.
Are plastics suitable for contact with food?
However, not all plastics are suitable for contact with food, so even when choosing a suitable plastic, it is important to ensure that the plastic meets the requirements for food conformity according to the FDA or complies with the EU 10/2011 standard.
Which plastics are suitable for food? Only a few plastics are suitable for use with food. In order to be able to recognize whether an object, such as a storage can, is suitable for this purpose, an EU-wide symbol is prescribed.
What are the materials in contact with food?
There is no specific approval procedure for materials in contact with food. However, there are the already mentioned requirements of EU Regulation 1935/2004, which all materials and their components must meet if they are to be used in contact with food. The manufacturers bear the responsibility for this.
What is meant by food contact materials?
Food contact materials are all materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, such as packaging and containers, kitchen utensils, cutlery and crockery.
How should a laser device be maintained?
Just like other design devices, a laser device must be cleaned and maintained regularly in order to achieve good working results with it. Refer to the laser's user manual for maintenance information. If you experience a sudden drop in performance, the first thing you should do to correct the problem is to check and clean the optics.
How to clean the laser printer regularly? Finally, you can perform a test print and, if necessary, clean and realign the print head. For regular maintenance of the laser printer, suitable cleaning cloths should always be available. These are used to remove dust from the outside and inside of the device.
What is regular maintenance of a laser printer?
Regular maintenance of a laser printer not only prevents printing problems, it also prolongs the life of the device. A large part of the maintenance tasks can be done by every user of a laser printer himself.
Why should laser printers not be adequately maintained?
In addition, if the printers are not adequately maintained, there may be more wear and tear on the mechanical parts. Regular maintenance of a laser printer not only prevents problems with printing, it also prolongs the life of the device.
What malfunctions and errors in laser printers?
A large part of the malfunctions and errors in laser printers can be traced back to insufficient maintenance. If the printers are not adequately maintained, this can also lead to greater wear and tear on the mechanical parts.
Which plastic materials are sensitive to erosion?
Almost all plastic materials are sensitive to erosion under the influence of UV radiation. The high-quality polycarbonates used to manufacture the FIBOX enclosures also exhibit high resistance in this respect.
Which plastic sheets meet the requirements for food conformity? Our plastic sheets made of polyethylene all meet the high requirements for food conformity of EU standard 10/2011 and are considered physiologically safe according to BfR, so all our plastic sheets made of polyethylene are approved for food and drinking water applications.
Is the pH value of plastics stable? The pH value is a suitable aid for determining the resistance of plastics. The following table gives pH limits for the majority of plastics. In most cases, the plastic in question will be resistant at room temperature to chemicals with pH values within the limits.
How are plastics used?
Plastics are also widely used in food processing, whether in the food industry, in small food processing companies, or in the home kitchen.
What happens to the erosion of soil particles?
On arable land on slopes, soil particles are eroded and transported over short or long distances, depending on their intensity. This process of erosion results in the loss of fertile and humus-rich soil that guarantees agricultural yields.
Why use unsuitable acrylic for laser engraving?
The most common reason is the use of unsuitable acrylic. Laser engraving usually uses two types of acrylic, each suitable for different purposes. Cast acrylic is ideal for engraving because it creates a frosted glass effect, which is needed for prices and logos.
What are the advantages of laser marking?
The advantages of laser marking are the very short preparation time for changes in the symbolism and the robustness of the marking. The laser is the most efficient and reliable method of marking.
How is the engraving of glasses suitable?
The carbon dioxide laser is particularly suitable for engraving glasses, as its radiation is excellently absorbed by glass.
How can engravings be applied?
Engravings can be applied to many different materials and prove to be particularly durable and long-lasting. Typical areas of application are, for example, the creation of type plates or the numbering of individual parts in series production.
What are the applications of laser engraving?
Typical applications include the creation of type plates or the numbering of individual parts in series production. The principle of laser engraving is based on the transfer of high-energy radiation to a surface in order to permanently change or mark it.
