Providing secure flexible wrapping
December 1st 2006 When Ringtons Teas reviewed its pallet wrapping operation it decided to replace its 15 year old turntable stretch wrapper in the goods-out section with a new model and purchase a mobile battery-operated stretch-wrapping machine for the tea collating section. Previously, to achieve secure wrapping, pallets of collated tea sacks had to transport the pallets through the warehouse to a fixed machine for wrapping, greatly increasing operating time. The parameters for the new Robot machine were strict. It had to be of robust construction and capable of wrapping 20 pallets a day whilst operating in a small confined area. Once started, it could wrap the pallets without operator assistance, and then be portable enough to be moved out of the way once wrapping was complete. Aetna's mobile Robot was ideal for the job and the Jolly turntable system completed the package. More articles from AETNA UK LTD: |
