The Savings, which the Trak-Rap System allows you to exploit, cover the complete spectrum, and they are applicable to the producer and the retailer.
For the retailers, reduced film weights help, but the real benefit of reduced waste volumes has significant effects on the logistics of on-floor shelf stacking as well as waste removal. By utilising materials of similar compositions as pallet wrap, not only do we reduce the number of scrap variants, but greatly reduce the number of trips to waste sites.
The Benefits:
Manufacturer
Approximately 20% cheaper than an equivalent shrink wrapped pack.
The TRAK-RAP machine uses less energy than an electric kettle.
No secondary heat applied to the product.
A single gauge and a single width of film used for all wraps, minimising stock holding costs.
Film weights and wrap specifications can be easily altered to suit different customers or transit needs
The capital cost is very favourable compared to a Shrink Wrap
system
Environment
Low energy use – so much smaller carbon footprint than equivalent
shrink tunnels.
60% reduction in film weights is a massive contribution to reducing
environmental waste.
The film “clings”, reducing scrap volumes by up to 90%.
CO2 emissions are drastically reduced.
A typical production line using TRAK-RAP reduces emissions
by over 560 tonnes per annum, equivalent to 871 trees
TRAK-RAP film is more recyclable than LDPE shrink wrap film
1. The material is cleaner with less impurities and additives.
2. It is of the same material type as pallet wrap
removing the need to separate before recycling.
Retailer
Reducing film weights by 60% reduces direct and indirect scrap costs and levies.
Lower pack film volumes reduce shop floor logistics and waste movements.
The TRAK-RAP film is easier to remove than equivalent shrink wrapped products, eliminating the use of knives in film removal.
The use of the TRAK-RAP film reduces the number of types of waste materials, making recycling simpler.
The adoption of the TRAK-RAP system in the distribution chain has a major impact on reducing CO2 emissions.
The TRAK-RAP system is the perfect complement to the
Shelf Ready Pack, that is durable and dependable in transit.
Operational
The machine has a very small footprint.
Left hand or right hand operation.
Single phase, 240V supply is all that is needed for the complete system.
Changeover times are far lower than traditional shrink film systems.
Packs run narrow side leading, reducing the requirement for complex laning devices.
