Did you know you could audit your stretch film and save big!!

Yes...with the constant introduction of new technologies...there are numerous new product introductions that can really impact your bottom line...
Call today to set up your Stretch Film Value Analysis!!




You Can Set a benchmark to ensure proper loading integrity by:
  • Adjusting Film Force to prevent destruction of loads during and after wrapping.
  • Increasing the prestretch to an minimum optimum level (175%) to increase film strength and film memory properties for superior load retention.Improve wrapping consistency thus eliminating wide variations in wrapping parameters.
  • Can dramatically reduce stretch wrapping costs due to improved prestretch levels and reduction in total # of revolutions.
  • Increase production speeds by reducing the # of revolutions.
  • Provide the operators with the confirmed set-up and load parameters for stretch wrapping.
  • Allow management to document, budget, coordinate, and anticipate stretch requirements and costs.
  • Act as a comparison for future film audits.
  • Once the work has been done on both the equipment and film to get the performance to where it needs to be, it must be maintained.
    Too often efficiencies can be lost during production without anyone noticing. Unlike most other packaging equipment, stretch wrap machinery does not necessarily stop when it ceases to function. It will still wrap the product but just apply much more film with less holding power. The result is a pallet load that cost 3 times as much in film and that can fail during transit. The audits service we provide ensures that this is caught before costing too much money. We can provide the following: Measure the various performance levels of the equipment and film.
    Prestretch, film force, film usage, Machine repeatability.
    Audit reports that tabulate present performance compared to past performance to ensure efficiencies are maintained.
  • If the system is not meeting required performance, then recommendations for necessary improvements will be made.Confirm machine / film performance.

Are you tired of setting up your boxes each day??

You could make more and save time with an automatic Carton Erector from Combi!!

 
New Easy Adjustment System The operator utilizes a scale on the machine to measure the height and width of the box, indicators at each adjustment point are cranked to the corresponding measurements. The new adjustment system assures quick changeovers with no guesswork.
New Snap Release Slideout Tapehead for fast tape roll changes, slides the tapehead completely out of the machine, where it can also be lifted out for easy maintenance.
Steel-It Finish New standard finish is a two part epoxy primer, with a two part stainless steel pigment epoxy finish coat. This new coating process offers high resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
This affordable system can accommodate a wide range of case types and sizes from 8"x5"x5" to 20"x16"x18". Case types include regular slotted cases (RSC) square cases, half slotted cases (HSC), short wide, long narrow, and inconsistent corrugated supplies. The system can erect corrugated board weights from 150lb. B-flute to a 350lb. double wall at speeds up to 12 cases per minute.
The 2EZ is constructed with quality materials and components, starting with a welded tubular steel frame. All welds are ground, and the frame is primed and painted with a 2 part stainless steel pigment epoxy coating. Components include Mac air valves, Allen Bradley Micrologix PLC controls, heavy duty vacuum pump, self cleaning vacuum system, and all stainless steel contact parts. All other components are plated or coated with a baked on powder finish.

Did you know the difference in box strengths??



We fully recognize and applaud the packaging experts who can, without hesitation, give a 3 minute dissertation on the difference between ECT32 and 200Test. (Insert Applause Here) BUT for those of you, whose minds have already started to wander…we offer some easily digestible facts aimed to make you a more informed consumer of corrugated boxes.
First, the basics. 
ECT32 and 200Test are simply two different industry standard names, used to define the measurement of strength of a corrugated box.  Think of inches vs. centimeters or liters vs. ounces. Both define the same physical measurement; they are just stated differently based on the metric system they are relative to.
Second, what are we measuring?
The Edge Crush Test, or ECT, measures how many pounds per square inch (lbs/inch²) a single corrugated box can support without crushing. Whereas, the 200Test or Mullen Test, measures how many pounds per square inch (lbs/inch²) are required to rupture/burst the side of a box, taking into effect both internal and external pressures that the corrugated box will absorb.  Therefore, an ECT32 corrugated box can withstand up to 32lbs per square inch before it crushes. In comparison, a 200Test corrugated box requires a force of 200lbs per square inch to puncture the side.
That sounds like fun in the physics lab but what about buying boxes?
When making a decision regarding purchasing ECT32 or 200Test corrugated boxes,  the systems used to measure the strength of each box are most relative to how the boxes will be transported or used.  Since an ECT measurement is relative to a box’s ability to withstand “crushing” under a particular weight, or their stacking strength; you would think Edge Crust Test if your boxes are stacked on a pallet, stacked in the back of a truck, stacked in a distribution center, sitting in a storage facility and/or in transit.  Comparatively, 200Test measures the handling ability of a corrugated box. So you would think 200Test when your boxes are thrown around, dropped, shaken, squished and/or moving in transit.
And now for the surprise inside! 
Now, before you go putting down your pencils to call your Wrap-N-Pack salesperson, there is one measurement left to discuss: Gross Weight Capacity. The scientific truth is that whether stacked, thrown, pushed or crushed, both ECT32 and 200Test corrugated boxes will perform with near identical results in the field.  Surprised? The reason – both boxes are designed to support 65lbs of gross weight capacity. The proof – look at the certificate stamp of the next corrugated box you receive. Wrap-N-Pack boxes are always clearly marked with the appropriate gross weight capacity.
Decision Time
As we mentioned in the beginning of today’s discussion, we see our best customers as informed partners.  In fact, our success is built upon Wrap-N-Pack’s ability to service your informed decisions for guaranteed next day delivery.  We stock over 1,000 corrugated sizes, both ECT and Mullen Test styles to cater to your individual application. Hey, can someone get me the Edge Crush measurement on that?
