Can Air-Flow Solve Your
Problems?
The following are examples where innovative packaging
distributors solved their customers packaging problems. This resulted
in increased sales, loyal customers and the satisfaction of a job well
done:
Problem:
Products are boxed and palletized when still warm. Condensation forms
on the inside of the cling film and deteriorates the boxes.
Solution:
Place pallets in cool down/holding are for 24 to 36 hours, or wrap the
pallets with Air-Flow and eliminate the time
and expense of the holding area.
Problem:
A product has excessive moisture when produced and has to "cure" prior
to being stretch wrapped
Solution:
Wrap the pallet in Air-Flow and let the curing
take place in transit.
Problem:
Film breaks when tested on stretch wrapping machine.
Solution:
Machine is probably set for stretch film with 150+% pre stretch.
The best way is to change the pre stretch setting to 30%. Some machines
will require a gear ratio change to achieve this 30%. You may
want to switch to Air-Flow Premium
which yields 200% stretch.
Problem:
Customer wrapped pallet and the load did not hold up during shipping.
Solution:
Air-Flow needs to be stretched more. Try to
get a minimum stretch of 15% while wrapping. If a customer by-passes
all of the rollers there will not be any stretch to sustain the load.
Depending on product being wrapped, the customer may need to use a different
grade of Air-Flow (Heavy Duty or Premium).
Problem:
Customer cannot find the beginning of the roll when hand wrapping.
Solution:
When finished wrapping a pallet, the operator should walk away
from the pallet three feet, grab, cut and tie the film. Their needs
to be a little more care to wrapping with Air-Flow
instead of stretch film to keep from wasting product.
