SUCCESS STORY | WRAP IT RIGHT
Increasing Pallet Wrapping Productivity with Wrap It Right and the Lantech Q-300XT
A plastic product manufacturer in the London area was struggling with two stretch wrappers, each over 20 years old, which were not achieving optimal stretch film performance. A Packaging Specialist conducted a Wrap It Right audit and identified the outdated equipment as the primary issue. They recommended upgrading to a Lantech Q-300XT Stretch Wrapper paired with G60 GUARDIAN Stretch Film. With Crawford Packaging’s solution, the manufacturer improved efficiency, reduced film usage, and now wraps pallets faster. Challenge • Outdated automated stretch wrappers were impacting performance. • Achieving only 20% film stretch, leading to excessive film waste Solution • Conducting Crawford’s Wrap It Right audit to review existing stretch film practices and equipment to identify possible inefficiencies.
Increase in productivity.
• Standardization of load containment and stretch film practices. • Two stretch wrap machines were tested; selected the Lantech Q-300XT as the best-fit solution for the customer’s needs.
Up to
33% reduction
in stretch film waste.
• Paired with GUARDIAN G60 Stretch Film improved overall productivity. Impact • Improved Productivity: Faster wrap times and fewer rotations per skid reduced wrap cycle time by up to 90 seconds. • Reduced Stretch Film Waste: GUARDIAN G60 stretch film cut film waste by over 33% while increasing stretch from 20% to up to 225%. • Lower Labour Requirements: The Lantech Q-300XT’s automated film attach and cut feature eliminated the need for operators to leave the forklift and wrap pallets. • Enhanced Load Containment: Increased containment force doubled load stability and reduced product damage.
