CELABOR at the EMPACK Brussels 2012
04 Sept 2012
Like every year, CELABOR will participate in the EMPACK Brussels fair in 2012. The Empack is the biggest packaging fair in Belgium.
Come visit us on our stand H042 on September 26th and 27th! You can order a free pass here.
The Empack fair showcases all the trends and new packaging solutions. This year, the emphasis is put on two themes:
- Innovation: all the new products, services and applications with an added value for the packaging process.
- Ecopack: an overview of sustainable packaging solutions.
This is also the occasion to go to the ‘learnShops’; these are related to several relevant topics. During these sessions, CELABOR will present the CEPI-Comparative Testing Service: a useful tool for controlling performance of testing ... Read more

Accelerated aging study and measure of dissolved and gaseous oxygen
13 Août 2012
In order to maintain and control quality and shelf-life of foodstuff, it is vital to quantify the impact of oxygen on the reactions responsible for oxidative aging. Therefore, CELABOR has acquired 2 new equipments as part of the Micropack project, which is supported by Wallonia and Feder.
The first equipment is used to measure partial oxygen pressure in packed foodstuff. The measurement is non-destructive and uses optical sensors linked to an optical fibre measuring oxygen. This technique is based on the fluorescent quenching principle. This allows for the quantification of the oxygen sources (dissolved and gaseous oxygen) present inside the packaging.
Because it is important to ... Read more

Cornet Flaxhemplast Project
25 Juin 2012
Within the framework of the Cornet projects, partially supported by Wallonia, Celabor has just started a new project whose acronym is FLAXHEMPLAST.
This project aims at creating a breakthrough in the use of thermoplastic polymers reinforced with short-cut flax and hemp fibres, in "lead market" applications. One of the objectives is to use conventional, "low cost" and "high-volume" processing technologies (injection, extrusion, thermoforming…).
In this project, Celabor will have for mission to characterize the fibres from the point of view of their dimensions/granulometry and their technical performances.
The other partners of the project are Flander's PlasticVision, the Flemish plastics center VKC, the general Belgian association of flax ABV, the Institute for plastic treatment IKV à Aachen, the technical University of Darmstadt DKI ... Read more | |
SONOPULP Project
18 Juin 2012
The SONOPULP projet (Sonication of natural fibres and agro-waste) is coming to an end after 2 years of research. The research partners who took part in the project are organising a workshop in order to present the project results to the public. This workshop will be held during the Zellcheming fair in Wiesbaden (Germany), on June 27th.
You can find any relevant information about the fair as well as the presentation abstracts in this flyer.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this event.

Cornet AOP4WATER project
12 Mar 2012
CELABOR has been a partner in the AOP4WATER project for more than a year ( http://www.cornet-aop4water.eu). This project is part of the ERA-NET CORNET programme, which is supported by Wallonia amongst others. The goal of this project is to improve advanced oxidation processes for waste water treatment as well as to evaluate the potential of reusing these waters for the industry.
Thanks to this project, CELABOR benefits from an international cooperation with SME and research centres from Germany, Slovenia and Czech Republic.
Halfway into the project, the first results from the different partners are very encouraging and show a true potential for waste water treatment with these processes. CELABOR discusses regularly with Walloon SME interested in these new technologies.
Interested? Please ... Read more | |
Analysis of short natural fibres for composite materials
20 Fév 2012
Within the framework of the CILAB project, supported by Wallonia and Feder, Celabor has acquired measurements devices using image analysis to characterize the granulometry and the morphology of the reinforcement fibres used in the injection and extrusion processes.
Those devices, originally devoted to the powders and the other roughly round shaped particles, have been modified and continue to be adapted for the specific needs of fibres which, by definition, are elements much longer than wide, which renders the analyses complex and requires particular parameters.
In cooperation with the Walloon company Occhio (Liège) who build those devices, Celabor make the measurement techniques progress, with the aim of helping the enterprises that produce (or will produce in the future) completely natural composites.
