By combining a light polymer with strong and rigid fibres, composites bring all these properties together in one material. Composites also offer other advantages, such as freedom of shape, corrosion and fatigue resistance. They are therefore widely applicable in industries such as aerospace ...

Measuring is knowing, but knowing alone does not appear to be enough: global circularity has been steadily declining, year after year, since 2019. Just as important as knowing measurement results is accepting that we need to make adjustments if we want to have an impact on those results. Some tips ...

At the request of the foundries and their customers, Sirris will start another foundry technology course in the autumn of 2023. The series of lessons consists of a combination of traditional location-based sessions - at Sirris in Zwijnaarde - and online sessions. This course offers you practical, in ...

Epoxy resins are still a first-choice polymer for applications in adhesives, composites and protective coatings on wood, concrete or stone because of the good balance in mechanical properties and long-term protection. Their use, however, is somewhat limited due to some drawbacks in intrinsic ...

Circular economy and circularity are everywhere these days, although for many companies these concepts are still too vague. How to turn theory into practice remains a big question. With the 'Circularity put into practice' event on 6 June 2023, Sirris intends to make things a little clearer.

While AGVs and AMRs can bring significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity, they also introduce new safety risks that must be addressed. In a series of blogs, we will explore AGV safety from multiple angles. In this third and final blog post, we will examine the responsibilities of ...

Over the years, various calculation models have been developed that allow machining processes to be analysed and even optimised. These calculation models can be run by anyone on the online platform modelgebaseerdbewerken.be by means of simple forms. In a series of blog posts, we explain how you can ...

Coated paper-based packaging has an important role to play in the transition to a circular economy. The extent to which these materials can be recycled is a key factor in further increasing their sustainability and circularity to meet European targets. As part of the RePac2-project, Sirris has been ...

While AGVs and AMRs can bring significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity, they also introduce new safety risks that must be addressed. In a series of blogs, we will explore AGV safety from multiple angles. In this second blog post of our series, we will delve into the safety ...
