Designs can be evaluated quickly and cheaply using computer simulations to model the manufacture and service performance of various packaging products, so replacing the old ‘trial-and-error’ method. Typically, our approach begins with the flat blank, and follows the full manufacturing process through to testing of the new design.
To develop new steel products, expertise in designing using steel is indispensable, as is an in-depth understanding of steel characteristics, processing, decoration and mechanical performance.
The ability to perform rapid prediction of shape and stress is essential to enable plant development and solve production problems during rolling processes. Corus has developed a range of numerical tools and techniques for predicting the evolution of process and product properties during multipass rolling, cooling and straightening.
Test packing is a powerful tool to predict the shelf life of packaged foods and to evaluate the shelf life performance of new packaging concepts. We have a vast amount of knowledge and experience in all aspects of packaging technology and are experts in food technology, materials science and corrosion technology.
