Mosca has provided Board24 with a new WTR-3 compact pallet wrapper for its cases production at the Coalville site.

A complete range of rotating tables with driven roller surface to wrap and stabilise loads on pallets with stretch film to be used in automatic packaging at the end of the line. The WTR-3 machine stands out for its driven roller surface rotation system which is made up of a toothed thrust bearing supported by a high load capacity ball bearing and high resistance pin transmission; this construction solution ensures high operating reliable and working life in the most wearing conditions.

The new turntable will accommodate max size pallets of 1500mm x 1500mm. Table rotation speed and relevant acceleration/deceleration ramps are controlled by a frequent converter; this guarantees that the table always stops in phase regardless of the load weight and to ensure it is always aligned with the infeed and outfeed conveyors; assuring correct pallets supply and unloading.

David Dow, Engineering Manager at Coalville comments; “The new wrapper provides benefits both for customers and internal operations. The new machine improves pack presentation and pallet presentation upon delivery and in our customers’ warehouses. Also improved OTIF adherence by increasing pack throughput and reduces downtime on lines. Having automated operation makes the process safer for operatives and speeds up production lines.

“Having market leading machinery and increased investment into Board24 enhances our cases offering and maintains our reliability, performance and efficiency.”
