Cabinet Furniture Stretch Wrapper Application


Stretch wrapping cabinet furniture presents many difficult issues to resolve. They required multiple highly custom turntable style stretch wrapper systems. A few of the difficulties were:

-Lightweight loads require securing during the fast wrap cycle.

-Cabinet furniture is easily scratched or damaged during the packaging process.

-Locating cabinets for proper stretch wrapping. Cabinets are required to be centered to properly stretch wrap.

The Phoenix Turntable Conveyorized Automatic (PCTA), with its compact footprint, is a workhorse that can be used in most stretch wrapper applications. The unit is often custom-built for tough applications. The features added to meet this customer’s requirements include:

A Top Platen stabilizes the load ensuring the lightweight product doesn’t move during the stretch wrapping cycle. Having a load that moves during the cycle could create some detrimental downstream issues to the system. The addition of a Top Platen can add to the wrapping cycle time. Therefore, the system includes an upstream load height detection system. This allows the cabinet furniture stretch wrapper to adjust to the incoming load height without having to completely return to home, thus reducing the time lost.

The urethane coating improves the friction allowing the cabinet furniture to flow on the conveyor, therefore eliminating the need for a pallet. Most importantly, urethane coated rollers prevent scratching or marring of the cabinet furniture.

An automatic load centering system first ensures each cabinet is centered on the turntable for proper stretch wrapping. Secondly, random placement on the conveyor is also corrected with this load centering system.

Successful Results with Phoenix Stretch Wrappers:

The Phoenix Conveyorized Turntable Automatic Stretch Wrapper comes in many configurations to accommodate the needs of the customer. In this case, we customized our PCTA to become a cabinet wrapper. Phoenix has decades of experience in designing and building complex systems, like the one shown.

Choosing Biodegradable Plastics

Image
Becoming more sustainable is one of the core goals of many businesses as more consumers become environmentally aware, and packaging is a great place to start. However, making the best sustainable packaging choices for your business can be challenging – there are so many options out there.  Plastics are often touted as one of the key pollutants of our seas and oceans – with up to 8 million tons ending up in marine environments each year. However, many businesses still have a need for it, so it makes sense that they may go in search of eco-friendly plastic alternatives. This is where things can become complex. Not all “green” plastics are as environmentally friendly as they seem… Commonly, many companies will interchange the terms biodegradable, bioplastic and compostable when discussing packaging but this can be misleading. Confusion around these terms can then lead to misconceptions about the disposal of so-called biodegradable materials. So, what’s the difference?   Bio-based, B
