A leading UK dairy has supplemented its existing stretchwrapper with an Orion LP500 semi-automatic turntable wrapper to help accommodate increasing throughput of milk bottles packed into crates or cardboard boxes and then palletised.
Dairy Farmers of Britain's existing line's inability to cope with the growing throughput had seen the company forced to wrap pallets manually, as site manager Kevin Jackson explains: “Not only was this highly time-consuming, but it did not make optimal use of the wrapping film as there was no pre-tensioning, meaning wrapping consistency was not as it should be. This created problems further down the line.”
The Orion LP500 features power pre-stretch film delivery to ensure wrapping film is stretched before application for optimum economy and load retention. It is operational for 12 hours a day, wrapping up to 500 pallets.
