Regranulated plastic pallets
December 1st 2004

Craemer says its regranulated plastics pallets are made from pure materials that do not compromise the synergism of the product, resulting in a cost effective unit that offers the same impact and load capacity as a virgin pallet.

Chris Neill, MD of Craemer Plastics Materials Handling, explains that recycled products frequently use a mixture of plastic granules from various sources that may cause inconsistencies in stress handling and, as a result, resistance to impact is impaired.

He explains that as Craemer pallets are regranulated from HDPE of one sort only, they retain the same sturdy characteristics and dynamics as a virgin pallet, offering economy and strength and a long maintenance-free service live.

The H3R, S4BL-R and S5BL-R regranulated pallets are available in two sizes with various handling capacities, with high load bearing designs to suit specific applications in the non-food sectors.

Several tyre manufacturers decided for safety reasons to introduce plastic pallets into the logistics chain. One company, previously using wood pallets, was concerned by variations in pallet weights/sizes and product contamination of extruded rubber sheet in transport between processes.

Onsite trials supported the decision for change, with Craemer’s regranulated black plastic pallets deemed the most suitable. They had the strength and carrying capacity required, consistency in weight and dimensions, with rigidity of construction contributing to load stability and safety.
