Automated solution for industrial board packaging
Automated solution for industrial board packaging
Searching for an efficient way to pack your products for storage and transportation? Look no further. Cross Wrap’s automated industrial board packaging line guarantees durable, airtight packaging and a product that is pleasant to look at.
Our board packaging lines are based on the same technology as our wrappers. Plastic film is wrapped around the product forming an airtight cover, using just one material. Whether you are building a new facility or upgrading an existing one, whether your packaging line would be part of a larger entity or operate separately, we have a solution for you – the packaging lines are the most customizable products in Cross Wrap’s selection. Take a closer look at the benefits of using our automated solution below.
Airtight packaging with a clean look
Our packaging line has been used to wrap board-like products, like plywood, veneers, MDF and OSB all around the world, but there is potential for much more. As all our packaging lines are manufactured individually for a specific project, there is room to modify and innovate.
The core of a packaging line is the wrapping of the product, which is done automatically by two rollers. The machine recognizes the shape and size of the product being wrapped, making it possible to wrap different shapes and sizes on the same operation line. The seaming unit (optional) finishes the wrapping by cutting the film and sealing it shut with heat, creating a clean look. The line produces packages with continuous quality and yet maintains flexibility in the process.
The benefits of using Cross Wrap’s industrial board packaging line include:
- Saving in labour costs with an automated solution
- High modularity allows customizing the packaging line
- Possibility to handle different shaped and sized products
- Airtight packaging keeps the product safe from dust and moisture
- Only one packing material affects cost-effectiveness and is easier to recycle
- Finished look on the packaged product
- The package can be opened to reveal only partially so that the rest of the film remains intact
Add labels and bottom skids automatically – our optional add-ons
The whole process of packaging, including the lifting of the product to the right height to be wrapped with conveyors, can be done using Cross Wrap’s products. In addition to the packaging machinery itself, we offer a selection of options to level up your packaging line.
- Bottom skid feeder automatically adds skids on the bottom (and/or sides) of the package. Easy to move with a forklift and to transport, no manual labour required.
- Labeling unit automatically adds labels with the needed information on the side of the package. The label stays intact between the film layers.
- Weighing conveyor is an easy way to weigh your products.
- Stacking device lets you handle multiple products at once, stacked on top of each other automatically.
