To put it simply customers get the best materials for each and every project bespoke to their needs at PMN. As an industry innovator our customers buy with confidence from a company who supplies to a portfolio of industries and supply chains of leading manufacturers including Nissan, Caterpillar, JCB, Bentley and Toyota.
An understanding of the needs of our customers is paramount to everything we do at PMN and offering the best materials for each project is vital in ensuring complete customer satisfaction. Established for over 20 years we can offer solutions to any packaging problem, and this is no more evident in our range of ESD totes, trays and dividers which we supply to a range of customers to protect their electronics.
Many of our clients work with electronic parts and often require solutions for transporting and handling them safely and securely. We manufacture trays and dividers to the specific needs of customers in a range of materials to suit each specification. In order to get the right material it is of essence that we first must understand the different classifications used when handling electronic parts.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of accumulated electric charge from one object to another. The transfer can cause damage if an electronic component has stored energy and its terminals make contact with a low resistance ground path, a rapid discharge will occur with an associated current spike. If not designed to handle the spike, internal circuitry can be damaged or destroyed. If, instead, the ground path is resistive, the discharge rate is slowed and damage avoided.
For ESD control purposes, materials are classified by how quickly electricity moves through the material. The speed is referred to as the “resistance” of the material i.e. how strongly the material resists charge movement.
Materials for protection and prevention of ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) can be categorised into three distinct groups – separated by their ranges of conductivity to electrical charges.
Recent and high-profile projects managed and manufactured by PMN include:
•Ongoing monthly supply of 2000 conductive trays to transport microchips for a world-renowned electronics company.
•One off requirement for 3,000 trays to transport motherboards for a UK based EMS company.
•2,000 ESD tote boxes for an eco-smart technology company who are at the forefront of Britain’s renewable energy push.
Operating on an expansive site spanning 3 acres and 65,000 square feet of indoor storage, efficiency and experience comes as standard from Plastic Mouldings Northern and our extensive industry knowledge ensures simply the best solution for your project.
