Parkinson Technologies Shines at NPE International Plastics Showcase 2015


New Key Filters ScreenLync System is introduced to Attendees



WOONSOCKET, RI — Parkinson Technologies, Inc. generated excitement at the NPE International Plastics Showcase (NPE2015) in Orlando last month (March 23-27), which drew a record number of attendees. In addition to running continuous demonstrations of its Dusenbery® Genesis 700 Center-Driven Duplex Slitter Rewinder, the company introduced the ScreenLync system, a new innovation from its Key Filters brand.



“The NPE is one of the world's premier plastics tradeshows and conferences, and it’s grown extensively since I first began participating,” says Stephen Montalto, Vice President of Sales at Parkinson Technologies and an SPI (Society of the Plastics Industry) board member. “This event brings together players from every corner of the industry to exchange ideas and drive business growth. It was an excellent opportunity for us to introduce our ScreenLync feature to the industry in addition to showcasing our Dusenbery Genesis 700 and its full-speed capabilities. All in all, the show was a great experience for Parkinson Technologies.”



The NPE International Plastics Showcase is a triennial exposition owned and produced by SPI. More than 60,000 industry professionals attended NPE2015 to engage with over 2,000 exhibitors at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. For its demonstration of the Genesis 700—one of Parkinson Technologies’ most popular slitter rewinder models—the team ran the machine at its full speed of 1,500 FpM (Feet per Minute) throughout the five-day show.



Parkinson Technologies also presented ScreenLync, a new feature it recently developed for the filter screens used in its Key Filters continuous screen changers. The ScreenLync system enables an operator to connect sequential screen rolls together, providing a quick and easy way of feeding the new screen directly into the chamber of the machine. Since the machine does not have to be cleaned out prior to installing the new screen, operational downtime is reduced.



Says Parkinson’s President and CEO, Peter Termyn: “The NPE show is a defining industry event, and vitally important to Parkinson Technologies’ engagement with the industry. Being able to share our latest product ideas with our customers in a face to face environment is absolutely invaluable. Given the success of this year’s show, we’re most certainly looking forward to NPE2018.”
