THE CHALLENGE

The customer’s primary requirement was to find a wrapper that could effectively handle and accomodate their wide range of cabinet sizes.
Additionally they had a difficult time finding a racking company that had stock readily available, as their need for additional warehouse space was pressing.

They were also exploring the most efficient method to wrap oversized cabinets without the necessity of transporting these large and heavy items to a fixed location for pallet wrapping.

THE SOLUTION

After careful consideration of the cabinet sizes that needed to be wrapped, we proposed the implementation of the EDDA semiautomatic 1500S BN orbital stretch wrapper. This solution involved applying bubble wrap followed by machine wrap to each cabinet, resulting in enhanced efficiency and providing superior protection. The implementation of this solution ensured that the cabinets were appropriately packaged and ready for shipping, meeting the customer’s requirements.

We collaborated closely with our trusted racking vendor who had an abundant stock available. Thanks to our strong partnership, we were able to promptly procure the required racking and fulfill the customer’s urgent need within a matter of days

To validate the suitability of the Sfera Mobile Wrapper, we processed a trial order for the customer. The outcome was highly satisfactory, and the customer decided to retain the wrapper as it effectively addressed their wrapping needs.

THE BENEFITS

By implementing the Edda Orbital Wrap system, the customer experienced significant improvements in terms of speed, consistency, and overall product protection. The previous manual packing method required multiple individuals and consumed a considerable amount of time to wrap each cabinet. However, with the Edda Orbital Wrapper, only one worker is needed to load the cabinets onto the conveyor and unload them onto the skid after wrapping.
The selection of the Sfera Mobile Pallet Wrapper proved to be ideal for the customer’s needs. Its mobility allowed them to bring the pallet wrapper directly to the location of the large cabinets, eliminating the need to transport the cabinets themselves. Moreover, when not in use, the Sfera Mobile Pallet Stretch Wrapper could be conveniently stored away, optimizing space utilization in the facility.
