Taking the High Road: How to Succeed Ethically when Others Bend the Rules
Conducted by: Frank Bucaro
Certified Speaking Professional, Frank C. Bucaro and Associates, Inc.
Problems and consequences attributed to poor ethical decisions can arise
when ethical behavior is not defined, understood, or demonstrated. This
program features easy-to-understand definitions of ethics, guidelines for
tackling difficult decisions, practical examples, and a generous amount of
humor; the result is an upbeat look at a key factor in long-term business
success. You will learn that emphasizing the value of ethics will help to foster
an environment where ethical behavior is valued, considered the norm and
will help to contribute to your success.

Predicting the Quality of Rotomolded Parts
Conducted by: Prof. Roy Crawford, Vice-Chancellor, University of Waikato
and Gary Lategan
This presentation will describe the background to process control for rotational
molding of plastics, based on monitoring the temperature of the air inside the
mold. Although this technology has been available for many years, it is only
recently that this has become widely used in the industry. This increased usage
in many countries, in many different types of machines and in many different types
of products has added significantly to the understanding of the importance of this
technology.
Using a combination of theory and practical results, Crawford and Lategan will explain how
top quality parts can now be produced consistently with a minimum of set-up times.
This results in energy savings, faster production rates and the maximization of
properties and aesthetics of the molded part. A particular feature of the new approach
is the prediction of the properties of the molded parts based on the internal air
temperature profile.

The Influence of Powder Quality In the Rotomolding Process
Conducted by: Frank De Carlo
Sales, Orenda Automation Technologies, Inc.
Free flowing material, usually in the form of powder, is a primary consideration for
the satisfactory performance of the rotational molding process. This presentation will
focus on several aspects of powder quality. You will learn how particle size and
distribution, dry flow and bulk density can affect your molding process. The factors that
influence quality control of the grinding process will also be covered.

How the Next Generation is Learning Rotomolding at Ohio University
Conducted by: Dr. Peter Klein
Associate Director of Technical Sales, Department of Industrial Technology, Ohio University
This presentation will focus on your future designers and employees and will
cover the education of the next generation from start to finish. Learn how the process they
experience: CAD, model building in wood, tooling plaster pattern making for the foundry,
casting aluminum, mold machining and part production will affect their potential future work
and innovations. This should be a very interesting presentation for anyone in the rotational
molding industry.
