When aluminium profiles are manufactured, defects may arise, especially when the profiles are manufactured through extrusion. During the extrusion process, these defects occur on parts of the extruded material because of contaminates that need to be found.The goal of the project is to examine two different types of methods that are suited for aluminium profilesContinue reading “Examine defects in aluminium profiles”

Failsafe and raise the efficiency of the grinding process in a production environment
The main purpose of this project is to failsafe and raise the efficiency of the grinding process in a production environment by making it possible to detect blockages in initial stages inside the system. The project has been defined to focus on solving the problems concerning the operational safety of the system since it´s mandatoryContinue reading “Failsafe and raise the efficiency of the grinding process in a production environment”
Validation of Finite Element Model of a Tetra Pak Package
There is a high dependency on accurate finite element models in the packaging industry for concept selection, design and virtual validation of packages. One of the most used materials for these packages is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This material is highly anisotropic, strain rate dependent and has different behavior in tension and compression. The objective ofContinue reading “Validation of Finite Element Model of a Tetra Pak Package”
Plastic Flange Deformation (PFD)
Due to the global energy crisis there is a vast increase in demand for heat exchangers that reduces the energy consumption during energy transfer between mediums. The current manufacturing process for brazed heat exchangers at the world leading manufacturer, Alfa Laval, involves a partial assembly process called Plastic Flange Deformation (PFD). The current PFD processContinue reading “Plastic Flange Deformation (PFD)”
Popup green infrastructure for construction
Question How might we support EV/alternative energy sources adoption in places where there is no infrastructure (or is broken) but has the greatest needs? As the global population constantly increases in combination with the electrification of vehicles and other equipment becoming more and more common, the need for off-grid energy is becoming critical worldwide. InContinue reading “Popup green infrastructure for construction”
Tensile test creation for Roxtec thesis
The goal of the thesis was to see how moisture and temperature correlates to the Young’s modulus and what parameters had the greatest influence on its magnitude. Roxtec provided us with PA66GF25, 25% glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6.6 (also called nylon 6.6) frames which they use around their cable fittings. These frames were subsequently cutContinue reading “Tensile test creation for Roxtec thesis”
DNES for tracking Dirt Digitally
The high degree of digitization in today’s society enables tracking of materials and equipment at construction sites, which provides a deeper understanding and potentially optimizes efficiency. In this way, you can optimize the use while making demands on suppliers on what type of material and equipment you as a customer want and be able toContinue reading “DNES for tracking Dirt Digitally”
Reglove -recyclable single use gloves
A project between Blekinge Institute of Technology and Stanford University. ReGlove, a circular solution for recycling and remanufacturing Personal Protective Equipment in the form of single-use gloves made from a special form of Polyvinyl alcohol. The solutions consist of machines that are designed to facilitate the loop from cleaning and sterilizing used material to aContinue reading “Reglove -recyclable single use gloves”
