Acrolab to showcase new energy transfer technologies at the SPE Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition (ACCE)

"The World's Leading Automotive Composites Forum"

Conference dates: September 13-15, 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SPE Automotive and Composites Divisions jointly sponsor the annual Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition (ACCE). This event is designed to educate and update automotive design and production engineers, sales personnel, and management from transportation OEMs and Tier suppliers about the benefits and expanding importance of thermoset and thermoplastic composites in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and other ground transportation applications. ACCE is the world's leading automotive composites forum. The event provides excellent networking opportunities and draws speakers, exhibitors, and attendees from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

See you in September at the ACCE! Best regards, Peter McCormack, BA, MA, Global Technical Sales Manager - Acrolab Ltd. - Advanced Thermal Engineering R&D Labs/ Mfg Centre, Windsor, CANADA.

Acrolab’s ISOPLATEN® (“The Intuitive Platen”) redistributes the energy generated by standard cartridge heaters to give molders rapid thermal recovery and unparalleled and linear temperature distribution along the whole platen surface. Your tools operate with reduced energy demands, produce better quality molded parts and allow you to use faster curing compounds with narrower thermal processing windows.

• Uniformly Cure Parts Resulting In Better Quality
• Reduce cycle time
• Reduce Thermal Energy Required From Heaters
• Energy Cost Savings
• Save On Time
• Evenly Heat Thermal Sensitive Parts
• Eliminate Hot Spots
• Reduce Scrap

Acrolab’s Isoplatens provide high levels of thermal stability to press platen applications and can be designed for electric, oil, or steam heating. Integral water cooling lines for fast process temperature changes are available. The standard Isoplaten is electronically heated and has an operating range of ambient to 500°F.

Acrolab engineered bi-level Isoplatens can hold a thermal uniformity of +/- 5°F over 90% of the surface of the Isoplaten. These results allow a substantial improvement in cycle times, start up times, thermal recovery rates, and improved part quality. The Isoplaten’s unique thermal uniformity permits the use of one single zone temperature controller for the entire platen. No special multi-zone controls, heaters, or thermocouples are required.

For more information call Acrolab Engineering. Best regards, Peter McCormack
