The customer was looking for a solution for a number of difficult issues in the field of kitting (barrel stacking).
With a completely different approach than the customer had in mind, we surprised and delivered a solution that was flexible and also cheaper!
A barrel weighs 200 pounds. Two barrels had to be placed on a pallet. Moreover, the lid had to be protected against dirt. The customer asked for a solution based on stretch cover. The foil was unable to hold back two 200 kilo barrels in the event of an emergency.
We came up with a solution based on strapping. The barrels are held together well and the lid is protected against dirt.
A robot that labels the barrels, places them on a pallet and protects the lid with cardboard. The barrels get wrapped.
In summary: a compact set-up suitable for many customer-specific solutions.
The video shows the various possibilities of kitting drums. It is possible to add logo / advertising imprint on foil for clear presentation for own logo for marketing purposes.
