MONDI has teamed up with Robopac, a manufacturer of pallet wrapping machinery, to offer a ‘seamless and more sustainable’ paper wrapping solution for pallet storage and transportation.
The two organisations combined Mondi’s expertise in packaging and paper with Robopac’s knowhow about wrapping machines to develop the solution. Robopac’s new paper wrapping machine uses Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap, which is 100% kraft paper, delivering ‘excellent’ protection for palletised goods due to ‘high strength, puncture-resistance and tension absorption’.
The paper is created with renewable materials containing no plastic or coating.
Robopac’s semi-automated and fully automated machines can both take Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap.
The semi-automatic machine is able to process a 25kg reel of Advantage StretchWrap to secure up to 40 pallets with one reel, every hour. The fully automated wrapping machine, meanwhile, can wrap up to 750 pallets with one reel, which equates to up to 60 pallets per hour.
Bartosz Babicz, product manager stretchwrap, flexible packaging Mondi, said, “We highly value the collaboration on eye-level with Robopac including a great exchange of expert knowledge, having similar core values within our companies. Close collaboration with our partners is key to transition to sustainable packaging solutions, therefore working with Robopac is truly driving our progress towards a circular economy and provides our customers a combination of state-of-the-art machinery with best quality wrapping paper.”
Filiberto Felici, Robopac product manager, added, “Our biggest challenge was to adapt the paper material to the packaging operations, while ensuring maximum stabilisation of the customer’s products during transportation with minimum use of resources. Using our own unique Cube Technology, we achieve maximum load stabilisation and are very satisfied with the effectiveness of our machines’ performances in conjunction with Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap.”
