kitting drums special
Lokatie: Netherlands

The customer was looking for a solution for a number of difficult issues in the field of kitting (barrel stacking).
- How do I ensure that two types of products are placed on one pallet?
- How can I safely transport the barrels?
- How do I ensure that the lids of the barrels are kept clean?
With a completely different approach than the customer had in mind, we surprised and delivered a solution that was flexible and also cheaper!
How did we do it?
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.
What solution did Willems Baling equipment deliver?
A robot that labels the barrels, places them on a pallet and protects the lid with cardboard. The barrels get wrapped.
What did it deliver to the customer:
- A safe solution;
- Cheaper than with rack cover;
- A sustainable machine.
In summary: a compact set-up suitable for many customer-specific solutions.
