A new drum cover made from breathable material makes for a cleaner and safer work environment on air-operated conveyors.

Exair's latest drum cover is fabricated from a fine mesh non-woven material that is designed for use on 205 litre or 60 litre drums.

It allows air from an Exair Line Vac air-operated conveyos to circulate whether material is moving in or out of a drum.

Suitable for conveyance hoses from 19mm up through a 86.4mm outside diameter, the drum cover prevents contamination of material and is a simple solution when transferring scrap, trim, waste, parts, chips or pellets into containment vessels.

Line Vac conveyors and Exair drum covers are distributed by Compressed Air Australia.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
