After more than ten years of hard work in our workshop, we can hear customers complain every day: "The equipment is stuck at any time", "The pallet reinforcement is always unreliable", "The efficiency of packaging large tonnage goods cannot be improved"... To be honest, these industrial packaging problems are like psoriasis, and they have to relapse every now and then. Especially when it comes to heavy pallets such as steel and building materials that weigh two or three tons, ordinary wrapping machines really can't stand the tossing. Today, let's talk to everyone about how our factory uses customized solutions to bite off this hard bone.
Last year, an old customer who was engaged in the export of large machinery came to us. Each of the engineering equipment they exported was over 1.8 tons. The ordinary wrapping machine began to "shake" after less than ten turns, and the packaging film was either not tight or broke in the middle. This is not an isolated case. For example, eight out of ten colleagues in the building materials and chemical industries have fallen into the trap of reinforcing heavy pallets. Our technical team squatted on the site for three days and found that the crux was the load-bearing structure of traditional equipment-most manufacturers made universal designs according to industry standards, but they were timid when encountering unconventional sizes or overweight goods.
For this kind of industrial packaging problem, we have specially developed a modular customization solution. Take the high-load pallet wrapping machine as an example. The core turntable is replaced with thickened alloy steel, and the drive system is designed with double redundancy. What if you encounter a special-shaped pallet? No problem, the column height and turntable diameter can be adjusted as needed. The equipment that was just delivered to a steel company last week tied the 2.5-meter-high H-shaped steel beam like a dumpling. When the customer tested it on site, after more than 20 turns of wrapping, the film tension was more than 40% stronger than the standard model.
Some colleagues asked: Will the cost of customizing equipment be too high? In fact, intelligent control systems are not new. We have built-in adaptive programs in the solution, which automatically adjust the speed and tension when encountering overweight cargo, which not only protects the motor from overloading, but also saves about 15% of consumables. The project we did for a chemical company in the southwest last year was even more amazing - their raw material barrels had different diameters, and we directly installed a laser ranging module on the equipment. Now the packaging parameters can be automatically matched when barrels of different sizes are online.
What we are most proud of is solving those "historical problems". For example, a port storage company on the coast has strong sea breeze and high humidity in their cargo yard, and ordinary equipment will rust in less than half a year. We have done salt spray protection for the entire transmission system, and replaced the key components with aviation-grade composite materials. Now this customized machine has been exposed to wind and rain at the dock for almost two years, and it still packs hundreds of shipping containers every day.
The more cases I have handled over the years, the more I understand that there is no universal key for industrial packaging. Instead of letting customers settle for standard equipment, we might as well spend more time and effort to customize it. After all, when it comes to heavy pallet reinforcement, even the slightest mistake can lead to the entire batch of goods being damaged during transportation. Next time you encounter old problems such as insufficient turntable load and film frame shaking, why not come to our factory for a look - the row of "Transformers"-like customized equipment in the northeast corner of the workshop will surely give you a new understanding of high-load winding.
