Guaranteed Savings with Motorized Pre-Stretching
Have you ever had doubts about the usefulness of the motorized pre-stretching device? We offer you a little quiz to demonstrate its effectiveness and the savings it can bring to your packaging process.
How much do you save with Motorized Pre-Stretching?
One meter of non-pre-stretched film weighs 11.2 g, while the same meter of pre-stretched film at 200% weighs only 3.74 g. Imagine having to wrap a pallet with 11 rounds of film using for example our Oscar winding robot, which offers a I'm lending to 200%: in this case, you will only consume 181 g of stretch film.
But what happens without this tool? Without the pre-stretching effect, for the same number of turns, the film consumption would increase by well 542 g. The difference? A saving of 361 g per pallet, which in one year can lead to a significant reduction in costs and waste.
Savings and Environmental Sustainability
This saving translates not only into lower costs, but also into a significant benefit for the environment. Packaging that uses less film means less waste and a lower environmental impact. It is important to remember that a more stable load does not depend solely on the amount of film used, but on the quality and effectiveness of the motorized pre-stretching, which ensures optimal film tension, protecting the load efficiently and reducing waste.
In summary, the adoption of the motorized pre-stretching not only leads to significant economic savings, but also helps promote more sustainable logistics, reducing material consumption and environmental impact.
Remember: a package with a greater amount of film used does NOT equate to a more stable load!
Motorized pre-stretching is installed as standard on the machines
