Highly-regarded World Premiere of the Four-Way
Filling, palletizing and wrapping: Möllers Packaging Technology convinces as a strategy partner to the plastics industry
With the world premiere of the palletless 4-Way pack on the purple catwalk the Möllers Packaging Technology reinforced its market leadership at the Düsseldorf K plastics fair. “Full order books way into the second half-year of 2017 and great interest in the training offering from the Möllers Packaging Technology Academy resulted in the fair’s success“, stated sales manager Norbert Frenzel. More still: The trendsetting idea of bundling the holistic approach of “Total Cost of Ownership“ into tangible products, convinced the international trade audience.
Since 1952 Möllers Packaging Technology has been building the Full Line. High Quality. Our Full Line systems wrap approx. 55m tons of polymer-granulate each year – this impressive share of the total market speaks for itself. The Möllers Packaging Technology located in Beckum, Westphalia relies on experience, specialist knowledge and a range of expertise gained from around 3000 installations on the world market.
Raise savings potential into the millions
“The close contact of our specialists to the customer and the knowledge which is gained on the machine in every day production makes it possible for us to make efficiency measureable, to create quality and to plan maintenance. The product, Premium Field Service, is supported by 5 strong pillars with the core themes plant efficiency, targeted training, quality standards, scheduled maintenance and continuous improvement“, reports Frenzel, explaining the World-Class-Performance Strategy.
In the realm of plant efficiency, especially with existing systems and via the measurement- and optimization tool PRODUCAT®II, maximum performance is achieved with a competitive edge of up to 40%.
Targeted training: The Möllers Packaging Technology Academy offers customers, business partners and their own competence teams an ultra-modern, fully-equipped seminar facility for theoretical learning covering a total area of 1250 square metres. In the adjacent workshop practical implementation of what has been learnt takes place on the world’s only palletless line on a production scale.
Defining quality standards, experts analyse in concrete on-site audits, systems and internal processes and present tangible improvement recommendations.
Scheduled maintenance: Fixed maintenance contracts with know-how transfer create basic preconditions for independent operation and internal handover of basic maintenance. Through scheduled maintenance, downtimes can be largely avoided – and conceal savings potential of up to 20%.
In the course of internal, continuous improvement with “Premium Field Service“ (PFS), an ongoing optimization process of continuous improvement in machine performance is defined. In constant dialog with the customer, the goal of cost reduction and spare-part management is proactively driven. ;
Patent applied-for: the Four-Way shipping unit
High-regarded: The World Premiere of the Four-Way shipping unit. The Möllers Packaging Technology developed the palletless 2-Way unit into the 4-Way unit. This new 4-Way palletless unit enables pick-up by fork-lift from all sides thus optimizing the combined transport of sea, rail and truck freight.
The thus created pack weighs 1450kg and rests on a specially-stabilized four-layer unit. The remaining central area underneath the recess is 100 per cent filled with bagged material.;
“The palletless variant of the four-way unit, for 1 million tonnes of manufactured polymer granulate, raises savings potential into the double-digit millions in the realm of wrapping- and transport costs“, states Norbert Frenzel, quoting concrete figures from the field.
Further advantages of palletless technology: With palletless technology only 40 per cent of the usual wrapping costs apply – with up to 7% higher utilization rate in 40' containers.
- Thanks to maximum transport stability and greatest water-tightness the palletless unit can be stored anywhere
- Palletless technology impresses with maximum energy efficiency.
- The time- and cost-intensive logistics for empty pallets is eliminated.
- Pallet costs no longer apply, the film load-unit is completely recyclable and thanks to reduced CO2 emissions, it results in a positive “carbon footprint“.
