The winning part is ValuStair™, a 22 ft. by 4 ft. unitary thermoplastic staircase, produced using LRM’s unique patented STF Sheetless ThermoForming™ technology on a production line engineered and built by LRM in 2008.

This novel line produces very large thermoformed parts on 3 to 5 trolleys in a circular track architecture, coating molten polymer directly onto onboard traditional thermoforming molds. These trolleys are computer controlled, via wireless signal, and all elements required for part molding are onboard.

Pre-manufactured sheets are not required with the STF Sheetless ThermoForming™ process, allowing a significant savings in the production of large heavy-gauge parts, and very high productivity. STF is also capable of molding a reinforced composite material structure, providing unmatched strength and stiffness.

Bart Berghuis, a Vice President at LRM said, “I was thrilled to accept this prestigious award on behalf of our innovative and growing company. We’ve been developing STF since 2007 and expanding its part size capability to the current 14 ft. by 30 ft.”

As with all of LRM’s products, no VOCs are emitted during manufacturing and all trim is recycled back into the process on-site. LRM uses only thermoplastic resins for closed-loop recycling.

About LRM Industries:
LRM Industries International, Inc. was established to commercialize TPF ThermoPlastic Flowforming™ technology, a radically different and award-winning process technology for producing large, feature-rich, long-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite parts in one fully automated operation. With the patented TPF ThermoPlastic Flowforming™ and STF Sheetless ThermoForming™ technologies, LRM enables innovative applications and designs in the use of thermoplastics/composites to produce very large unitary structures where, to-date, it has been viewed as cost prohibitive or lacking in strength and structural integrity.

Concurrently, LRM introduces the new HydroDome™ 300, a low profile complement to the original HydroDome™ 610 with the same unique cellular, nesting design. At less than 23 inches tall, this new chamber is ideal for shallow applications in high ground water areas, while still providing a high chamber capacity of 37.8 cubic feet.

Both the HydroDome™ 610 and the new HydroDome™ 300 exceeded ASSHTO H-25 load-bearing requirements in testing certified by independent engineering firms. LRM’s HydroDome™ chambers are uniquely manufactured using its proprietary patented STF Sheetless ThermoForming™ technology, and are a reinforced composite material structure, providing unmatched strength and stiffness.

As with all of LRM’s products, no VOCs are emitted during manufacturing and all trim is recycled back into the process on-site. LRM uses only thermoplastic resins for closed-loop recycling.

With a length of 22 feet and width of 4 feet, ValuStair™ is the largest product ever thermoformed in a one-step, continuous operation from virgin thermoplastic pellets to finished product. LRM’s patented STF Sheetless ThermoForming™ technology for the cost effective, continuous production of large, heavy gauge thermoformed products enabled this unique product’s design, as well as its technical and economic viability.

Water Safety Products, Inc. and LRM partnered in the development of this innovative new green building product, which will be marketed exclusively by Water Safety Products to the Waterpark and Theme Park industries.

Paula Panton, President of Water Safety Products said, “We are thrilled to be launching ValuStair™ at IAAPA along with additional innovative thermoplastic and composite green building products from LRM. This family of products will bring great value to the industry, dramatically reducing installation and maintenance costs, while eliminating corrosion.”

LRM Industries will market ValuStair™ to the industrial and construction markets as a replacement for heavy, high-maintenance, conductive and expensive steel stairways.

Said Jim Callough, CEO of LRM, “We are very excited about our partnership with Water Safety Products for marketing ValuStair to the Water Park and Theme Park Industries, where it brings unique value. Their highly respected reputation has been built through exceptional service to this industry for over 20 years.”

He added, “We also look forward to bringing ValuStair to the industrial manufacturing and green building industries. As with all of our products, no VOCs are emitted during its manufacture and all trim is recycled back into the process on-site. With no huge ovens required, our STF process is energy efficient compared to conventional thermoforming with pre-formed sheet.”

The HydroDome(TM) project at LRM was initially code-named “Beehive” with a goal of achieving extremely high space utilization efficiency, with high strength, while using environmentally responsible recyclable materials and processes. This morphed into a domed cell structure to retain the natural field “nesting” efficiency, while adding incredible strength.

The new HydroDome(TM) 610 is an extension of the original design, adding storage capacity and maximizing strength through the expanding capability of LRM’s STF Sheetless ThermoForming(TM) technology for the production of large reinforced composite thermoformed products.

Said Jim Callough, CEO of LRM Industries International, Inc., “The unique HydroDome design allows for a side-to-side nested installation, using less excavation, stone, and land area. This space efficiency combined with the HydroDome 610′s 81.9 cubic feet of capacity make it a high performance, cost effective stormwater solution. As with all of our products, no VOCs are emitted during its manufacture and all trim is recycled back into the process on-site.”

LRM Industries will exhibit HydroDome(TM) at StormCon(R) 2010 in San Antonio in booth #925-927.

In a series of introductions in the coming months, LRM’s new products will be launched with the following brand names:

* HydroDome(TM) 610 Stormwater Chamber
* ValuDock(TM) Marine Dock Module
* ValuStair(TM) Unitary Stairway
* ValuBeam(TM) Composite Structural Beam.

Said Jim Callough, CEO of LRM Industries International, Inc., “Long-established methods and technologies, while they become robust and productive, put limits on our thinking and prevent us from reaching for the best possible solution. New innovative technologies like LRM’s TPF and STF liberate product design by breaking through size and structural feature boundaries.”

LRM uses no VOC emitting materials in the manufacture of its products and its processes are closed-loop in terms of recyclability; there is no plastic waste and consumer and industrial recycled content is used in its products.
