Abstract: Composite pallets and methods for making and using composite pallets are disclosed. An example composite pallet may include a plurality of base boards. The base boards may include a first resin material and a first fiber material. A plurality of support blocks may be coupled to the base boards. The support blocks may include a second resin material and an impact modifier. A plurality of intermediate boards may be coupled to the support blocks. The intermediate boards may include a third resin material and a second fiber material. One or more top end boards may be coupled to the intermediate boards. The one or more top end boards may include a fourth resin material and a third fiber material. One or more top boards may be disposed adjacent to at least one of the one or more top end boards. The one or more top boards may include a fifth resin material.

Abstract: Systems for molding products that include sheer sensitive materials are disclosed. The systems may include a barrel. A hopper may be in communication with the barrel. A screw may be disposed within the barrel. The screw may be designed to rotate and reciprocate within the barrel. The screw may include a metering section. A plurality of dome members may be coupled to the screw and disposed along the metering section.

Abstract: Bins and bin assemblies are disclosed. An example bin assembly may include a base having a top board with an upper surface and a lower surface. A first set of side walls may be detachably coupled to the top board. The first set of side walls may include a first side wall having a securing member designed to engage the lower surface of the top board. A second set of side walls may be detachably coupled to the upper surface. The second set of side walls may include a second side wall having a pin member depending therefrom and designed to engage an aperture formed in the upper surface of the top board. A first interlocking member may be along an inner surface of the first side wall. A second interlocking member may be disposed along an inner surface of the second side wall.
