Scratch-resistant bag packaging film
Flexible, durable NSCR scratch resistant film is offered as a pre-opened, bag-on-a-roll product. The film is ideal for packaging products with high-gloss finishes or surfaces that are sensitive to scratching or abrasion. Made of lowdensity polyethylene, the film features a unique embossing to create its surface. The film contains no anti-block additives, which are typically used to prevent polyethylene surfaces from sticking together, but can cause minor surface chafing.

Stretch wrapper uses 30% less film
Using 30% less stretch film to contain loads while providing the same amount of wrap force, the RS-6000 20-second stretch wrapping system processes 180 to 200 loads per hour. The ring-straddle film delivery system wraps loads with 51-gauge film pre-stretched 250% without film breaks. Film recovery occurs on the load, resulting in high containment force and reduced film use. The automatic conveyorized system wraps loads up to 50 x 50 x 80 inches. Starting and ending the wrap cycle is a cut-and-clamp system with heat-free film sealing system, yielding a 1.5 second cut-clamp-seal cycle.

Eco-friendly, recyclable protective wrap
Intercept protective wrap provides long-term corrosion protection without volatile corrosion inhibitors or other banned substances. The wrap neutralizes and removes corrosive elements inside the package to protect items for up to 20 years in normal warehouse conditions. Odorless, the wrap produces zero outgassing of volatile organic compounds and does not transfer chemical residue to the parts or to workers’ hands. It may be disposed of as a non-hazardous material, or can be recycled as a reusable plastic material. Ideal for shipping and storing high value components inside bins, boxes or shipping containers, the wrap is available in several forms: pre-sized, zip-closure bags, large gusseted tote-bin size bags, stretch film and flat stock....more

Conveyor works with pallet jacks
The models 973 and 974 pallet jack interface conveyor are configured with and without squaring arms to align pallets to the centerline. Both offer 3,000 pound maximum load capacity, standard speeds of 40 to 80 feet per minute and a standard 40 x 48 inch GMA or Chep 9-block pallet. To load the conveyor, a pallet jack is driven onto the ramp or plates, lowers the pallet on the plates and backs out. Chains then raise the pallet off the plates and run it onto the next conveyor, eliminating potential conveyor damage. To accommodate the interface, a pit ledge with 26 to 30 inches clearance below ground level is required....more
