NEPPCO Ltd report to the Rollet Company Ltd

S F Bush

Introduction: Basic Calculations and Specification

After discussions in early May 2004, the Rollet Company Ltd (TRCL) asked NEPPCO (14th May 2004) to proceed with programme D (subsequently merged with the clip development programme C). Programme D was concerned with evaluating the possibilities of an insulated version of the Rollet which was foreshadowed in the NEPPCO patent application GB.0305404.6 of 10th March 2003. To provide the insulation the intention has been to employ the Rotofoam© process. An imporant improvement to this process is the subject of a separate patent application GB.0423129.6 dated 15th October 2004.

Some sighting calculations were reported on 10th June to a meeting with people from ACC (Allied Creameries) who were asked to supply data from the Maillon range (or similar) of insulated roll containers with which the I-Rollet (Insulated-Rollet) would be in direct competition.
