The Future of Tightness Testing for Palletized Loads
Our latest patent concerns our Type-R and Type-C wrapping systems, which can be equipped with an innovative test station that aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the production process and stability testing of palletized loads. Read more about this state-of-the-art solution!
Scope and State of the Art
Automatic wrapping machines are essential for packing and stabilizing palletized loads, that is, layers of items stacked on pallets or load bases. These machines use stretch film to protect the load, making it easier to transport and store. However, the tightness of the wrapping can vary depending on the type of wrapping, the primary and secondary packaging, and the nature of the load, affecting its stability.
At present, wrapping tightness tests are performed at locations outside of production facilities (wrapping machine suppliers, specific laboratories), resulting in significant relocation costs and waiting times. In addition, palletized loads may be subjected to stress during transport, which affects test results, making it difficult to obtain a true assessment of the freshly wrapped product as it leaves the production lines.
Technical Problem and Purpose of the Invention
Our invention solves the aforementioned problems and allows the wrapping tightness to be tested directly in the production plant, at the output of the wrapping machine, when the load has not yet been subjected to stresses due to different handling. This approach enables real, comprehensive and safe test results, reducing costs and waiting time. In addition, it allows real-time verification of whether the primary and secondary packaging are correctly made.
Benefits of Invention
1. Control and Monitoring: Client companies can manage stability tests themselves, defining type and frequency of monitoring according to their production needs to have continuous control of film quality, load stability.
2. Cost Reduction: By eliminating transfer costs and the use of external laboratories, production-related expenses are significantly reduced.
3. Timely Results: The ability to perform tests immediately after wrapping allows for quick results and immediate detection of nonconformities in the entire production line to implement corrective actions in real time.
4. Environmental Impact: By reducing the need for handling and disposal of products used only for testing, the environmental impact is greatly lowered.
5. Waste Reduction: Early intervention reduces the production of unsuitable loads, thus limiting waste.
6. Reduction in returns: Continuous monitoring of film quality and load stability dramatically reduces the percentage of products returned because they are nonconforming.
Conclusions
Our patented system for testing the wrapping tightness of palletized loads improves load quality and safety during transport and storage, reducing costs and environmental impact. Choose our innovative solution to optimize the stability of your loads and improve your operational efficiency!
