Abstract: A grouping station includes first conveyor tracks for moving loading pallets to the grouping station and second conveyor tracks for forwarding the loading pallets from the grouping station. The first conveyor tracks and the second conveyor tracks are both arranged for two different handling directions of the loading pallets.

Abstract: A loading frame includes a base and two walls arranged on opposite sides of the base. The walls are flexible and are arranged to permit movement, preferably sliding, between the wall and the load space's side, the wall being supported on the side. A system and a method for loading articles utilize the loading frame.

Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided bio-based mineral oil barrier coatings and films usable for decreasing mineral oil migration, for example in food packaging materials, and thus improving the safety of the materials facing the mineral oil containing environment.

Abstract: A system for an automated storage includes store blocks, in each of which store blocks there is at least one transverse aisle extending through the store block. In addition, in a store block there are several store aisles diverging from the transverse aisle. The system includes, in each store block, at least one parent car arranged to operate in the transverse aisle of the store block. In addition, the system includes one or more transfer cars arranged to operate across the store blocks on the store aisles arranged end-to-end in the parallel store blocks. The system further includes at least one shuttle arranged to operate in the store aisles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous roll-to-roll process for improving the water tolerance of bio-based polymers, in particular cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) films. Furthermore, the invention provides a method, which combines surface modification/functionalization for improving water stability and wet strength, UV/Ozone treatment, corona treatment or plasma activation for purifying and activating the surface and thus increasing the reaction efficiency, and further hydrophobization of the surface of CNF film.

Abstract: A polymeric film has at least one surface on which chitosan has been immobilised so as to be substantially resistant to leaching and have a strong antimicrobial activity. The polymeric film may be a polyolefin film such as a biaxially orientated polypropylene film. A process immobilises chitosan on a polymeric surface so as to be resistant to leaching and have a strong antimicrobial activity by applying chitosan to a polymeric film surface which has been activated before addition of chitosan to the surface by plasma activation at atmospheric pressure.
