PACK EXPO Connects Presents Preview Week

Gear Up for this Year’s Most Exciting Week in Packaging

Herndon, Va.; Oct. 30, 2020 - The new PACK EXPO Connects (Nov. 9-13), produced by PMMI Media Group, offers an exciting forum to investigate the latest packaging and processing technology and solutions. From new products to live product demos and chats to engaging educational opportunities (and everything in between), it's all at PACK EXPO Connects.


With more than 700 exhibitors, nearly 2,700 live demos and 60+ educational sessions available, it is important for attendees to plan in advance, so PMMI Media Group is launching Preview Week (Nov. 2-6). The week will kick-off with a webinar, Helpful Hints for Navigating PACK EXPO Connects, on Nov. 2, at 10 a.m. CT. It will provide tips and tricks for using the platform and even offer Q&A with attendees to help them make the most out of their PACK EXPO Connects experience.

In addition to the webinar, the Attendee Resource Center is an excellent tool for organizing before the event, complete with video tutorials on searching and adding live demos, using live chat and more.

Registration is synonymous with creating a MyConnects Planner. To get started, click the "Register Now" option at packexpoconnects.com for complimentary registration. After registering, attendees can start building their MyConnects Planner, fully loaded with Outlook calendar integration, ensuring the most effective use of time during event days.

Attendees can add educational sessions and live demos of interest to their calendars and even schedule live chats in advance. With so much to see over five days, attendees want to organize their time, and Preview Week (Nov. 2-6) is the perfect opportunity to finalize their plan.

All attendees who attend five or more Live Product Demos during PACK EXPO Connects will receive an entry into a daily drawing for a $100 gift card. Another reason to take advantage of Preview Week is to finalize plans, get demos on the calendar and find solutions and engage with industry colleagues.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
