L’industria alimentare della Nuova Zelanda si affida alle soluzioni di confezionamento di Sealed Air per mantenere gli alimenti sicuri e ridurre al minimo gli sprechi con Spinny S140.
At the Te Rapa distribution centre, where up to 70 pallets of packaging are shipped every day, wrapping operations are being entrusted to a new Spinny S140.
Sealed Air is a multinational company with over 25,000 employees in 175 countries where they operate. Although best known for Bubble Wrap, they supply a wide range of products. A high percentage of local shipments go to food manufacturers and exporters. Fresh, processed or frozen, all foods require quality packaging to keep them safe and on the shelf longer.
In New Zealand, Fonterra is a major customer, receiving tonnes of plastic film for packaging their deli dairy products. Tegel is another major customer, as are meat processors across the country.
After it was decided to replace thewinding machine in use, it was chosen Spinny S140. “It does a lot more than the other one,” says warehouse worker Bruce Jones. “Whereas the other wrapper was just on or off, up or down, this one has a lot more features.”
Spinny S140 It is semi-automatic, a big advantage over the old one pallet wrapper, as it allows for a range of programmable wrapping cycles. Sensor-controlled rotation stop is useful for managing different load sizes. “We do a lot of different small things,” says Bruce, “and some really heavy loads too – pallets of resin bags can weigh up to 1500kg.”
