Die casting refers to a process whereby molten liquid metal is pressed into a mould at high filling speed and under high pressure. The process uses metal and alloys, such as aluminium, steel, and iron, which have a low melting point. Die casting is advantageous because it can produce thousands of metal castings within a short period using one mould. Also, the process produces uniform components at a low cost compared to other manufacturing processes.

In Australia, most pallets are manufactured from locally available wood species, such as spruce and pine. Therefore, the nature of wood supply in Australia has favoured the production of softwood pallets at relatively competitive prices. Gone are the days when pallet manufacturing companies used to rely on the hardwood for production. However, due to a shortage of hardwood tree species in the country, coupled with demand for cheaper alternatives, softwood pallets have gradually filled the gap.

Every food manufacturer will want to ensure that their product reaches the market in first-class condition so that they can set their productivity, protect their reputation and maximise their yield. This approach can present a challenge from many different points of view, however, including logistics and transportation, but crucially, it can have a big impact on the way that the food is protected on its way to the market. If you are thinking about entering this arena and want to transport perishable items as efficiently as possible, why should you look at plastics and, specifically, modified atmosphere packaging?

Steel fabrication could well be seen as the backbone of the construction industry, as well as an instrumental element in hospitality, transportation and even technology. So what makes this simple alloy so useful in so many different applications? To understand this, you have to look at what steel is and the properties that the combination of iron and carbon generate when mixed together. Only then can you appreciate just how ingenious a material steel is and why it has been used for hundreds of years with little change to a stable formula.
