Setting a Benchmark will:

• Ensure proper load 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 comparison for future film audits.
• Confirm machine / film performance.

Rebuild and update existing equipment to meet wrapping specification

• Setting the machinery to meet a newly created customer's standard will provide a more consistent package while actually improving the load integrity by better usage of the stretch film characteristics.
• Replace outdated film carriages (or machines) to obtain acceptable prestretch values.
• Review all equipment for performance deficiencies and make required changes to optimize prestretch levels.

Machine / Film System 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.

Maintain Machine Performance With Regular PM Re-Calibration

We don't leave you high and dry. If you do not have the personnel to take care of the upkeep and service then we will provide the service personnel to keep you efficient.

We can provide:

• Complete inspection of the Stretch-wrapper system, including adjustments and re-tightening of assemblies.
• Re-calibration of all electrical systems (i.e. motor SCR boards) to ensure maximum operating efficiency.
• On-site update training for maintenance and operator personnel.
• Keep you updated with the new technology in stretch films and equipment so that you continue to take full advantage of what the market offers.
  

Repair & Upgrade Recommendations

• Upgrades & retrofits are researched for cost efficiencies and benefits.
• Reports are provided detailing the features and summarizing the potential payback.
