Christmas comes early for Robin, from
Russia
An unexpected result from the recent K-2004 exhibition has been a technical translation contract for Robin Engineering Services from Scorpo in Russia, after initial interest in a valve sack packer!
Only six weeks have passed since the close of the K-2004 exhibition for the plastics industry in Dusseldorf and already Staffordshire based Robin Engineering Services are enjoying the benefits of participation Within days of the show's end an order was received to supply a valve sack packing machine to a manufacturer of elastomer pellets in New Zealand and, by the end of November, Robin had received an order from an old friend in Poland, Metaloplast z.o.o, for two pellet screens to classify PVC powders

Removing water droplets from extruded strands
An innovative solution to the problem of removing water droplets from extruded plastic strand has been developed in the UK: the Qualconvey Vacuum Air Knife delivers the driest extruded plastic strands
Said inz Makowiecki of Metaloplast, "We have several circular separators, which we use to classify powders, but the design of the Robin machine is far superior to these.
With no moving parts other than the drive motor, all the troublesome areas, such as bearings and shafts are eliminated and this is a clear technical advantage".
The main feature of the Robin stand, the Qualconvey Vacuum Air Knife has also proved an instant hit with the sale of two units since the show.
One of these has been delivered and installed at Plantpack in Malden in the UK, and a second unit will shortly be delivered to JSO SA, in France, which produces extruded polymer strands of 2mm diameter and smaller.
Three further vacuum air knives have also been installed at European sites as part of an extended testing program.
The final and totally unexpected success for Robin, however, has been the negotiation of a translation contract with a Russian company to provide an English language text for its website.
Executives of Scorpo, who stopped at the Robin stand to talk about the valve sack packer on display, were impressed by the quality and variety of multilingual publicity material on show and changed the topic of conversation to this subject.
Eventually, after lengthy exchanges by fax and email, a contract worth several thousand pounds was agreed, for completion early in the New Year.
As Judith Pegg, director of translations for Robin, commented "Everyone has heard the observation that you only need one good contact at a show to make it worthwhile.
This one is certainly ours and there is scope for further business in this area in the future, as Scorpo build their business in the English speaking world".
