The jaw kit consists of one jaw and one hex screw pin. This new jaw kit for the GRZ 20-16 offers injection molders the ability to interchange existing jaws for various size jaws. The challenge to customize the application of a parts/sprue plier led to the development of the GRZ 20-16 with removable screws. This new jaw kit will provide molders with the ability to easily interchange and configure the jaw size by ordering kits of the same size to customize their gripping requirements. http://Packaging.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=14616%2etxt NEWBURGH, Ind. - Alcoa Generating Corporation, the power supplier to Alcoa's (NYSE: AA) smelting and fabricating operations in Warrick County, will continue to expand its operations here, creating 10 new jobs by the end of the year. http://Packaging.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=14614%2etxt ArlingtonVA, June 25, 2008 – PMMI, sponsor and producer of PACK EXPO International 2008, today announced the agenda for the upcoming Conference at PACK EXPO.
